To begin off, I'd like to point out one thing: Seeing Shizuo ride a bike going over 60 mph in episode 5 made the rest worth it. Although the story was a bit of a turn off because it involved a lot of miscommunication, it really portrayed what lengths people will go to if they truly believe in something, whether it be for good or for harm. I very much recommend this series as something to learn from, because it definitely shows that clear communication of feelings and a sharp understanding of a situation are the most important aspects of today's society.
