Review of Dies irae

Here's the deal: This show is *MUCH* better than its rating. MUCH BETTER. However, that's not to say that the criticism it receives isn't also true. I think the plot, animation and music are pretty great overall. The supernatural Nazis in modern-day Japan plot was interesting. And the metal rock music during much of the series is a fitting touch. It is somewhat confusing, especially early on. But they do explain things further as the series continues. I also think some of the dialogue/monologues are kind of cheesy and unnecessary. This is a plot-driven show; I have no time for your "feelings". So I fast forwarded through thosescenes.

Some of the MC's relationships and power-ups feel a little unearned. They often happen quickly without much training or explanation.

You will need to also watch the 6-part OVA (separate MAL listing) in order to complete this series. I think this show is worth watching if the genre is something you're typically interested in.
