One of my all time favorites.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This show deserves 9 or above.Unlike other anime the fillers are minimized. The plot and people are pretty realistic.I totally loved it. Other websites have written total crap about it.The story doesn't have loopholes(not any that I noticed..Just hope the next season releases soon.

A world where there are other worlds and those worlds invade that world humans live in. This anime is actually quite good. My major issue is the fight scenes which too much time spent on talking, reviewing and making up plans which make them too drawn out and longer than they should. Other than that and that it is not the best drawn I still do enjoy this show. There is quite a long list of characters and trying and remember who is who at times can be frustrating. When trying to remember who has any ties to the main characters or their strengths can get a little annoying as well. The action scenes are quite intense and it has plenty of action mostly with humans using adapted otherworldly technology for weapons to defend from those same otherworldly beings to prevent abduction or loss of the citizens of the city, they are Border and their job is to protect those citizens.

I recently began watching this show, and I honestly fell in love with it immediately. While it's not the most beautifully-drawn anime out there, it definitely gets the point across, and I'm personally more involved in the story rather than the style, anyway. The story itself is very unique in its own way, that it doesn't completely rely on its monsters to keep the plot moving. There are segments that could have been planned out a little better, yes, but isn't that the case with all anime at least once? The characters are all very lovable, and the battle scenes will have you on the edge of your seat the entire time. As stated before, there are times when the plot moves along a bit slower than it probably should, often interrupting battle scenes to provide commentary and such. Once you get past the initial slow progression of the plot, it really is a deep, fun story that I enjoyed the entire time. In my personal opinion, the show is very underrated and doesn't get the attention I believe it deserves. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone who might be interested.
