Alright well I will keep this short and sweet. This is probably one of my favorite animes that I have seen to date. I have just started on the second season and it is also phenomenal. The character development is a little slow in my opinion, and some of the episodes might seem disconnected, but I assure you that it is not the case. Solider through the 26 episodes and you will not regret it. I know this isn't a fantastic review but I don't want to put too many details in. Just pick up the show and enjoy. Best wishes!
