Irishchatter I thought this anime was brillant with its fantastic soundtrack, it's attractive characters of men and its story. Although I do wish it didn't have a cliffhanger but I suppose that's what you get when it's manga based! Teito and Mikage should've at least been a couple, I found that killing off Mikage in ep 9 was such a bad idea. He like Teito, was like such a strong character with a likeable personality! Even though he's a bad guy and killed Teitos father, Ayanami was pretty much a likeable character too! The Japanese voice actor who did him, made the character Ayanami into such a badass character that i personally think he is one of the best anime villains of my list lol!9/10 I give this should've been a Yaoi anime lol!

Rich Wright It's all about becoming a man, revenge, friendship and an incessant need for battle.I watched the first episode as part of an anime marathon... And what did I think? PRETTY GOOD STUFF. The main guy has a DARK AND MYSTERIOUS PAST which is intriguing, and the relationship with his best friend is already a good dynamic this early on. The cast are well written... even the bad dude has some level of complexity. That doesn't make him any less of a jerk, though.It ends on quite a big cliffhanger. Will I see the second in the series? Of course... eventually. 6/10

Zhana Trifonova The story was very interesting and full of twists. Inspite of that I think it's better to read the manga since the anime was left with open ending and didn't fully explain everything. The artwork was amazing. The characters were so unbelievably sexy (you'll drool the whole time while watching this). The places shown were very beautiful, too. The characters were very well developed and very likable (that includes the bad characters, too). Mikage was such a strong character. I really admired him. Most of the peaces in the soundtrack were so peaceful but at the same time some of them were very sad. The opening song was amazing. I loved the anime despite its imperfections :)

lonedreameryaoi OK so yes this is an anime that I started watching because of the fan girl in me. Of course I wasn't going to let it go unwatched there's an entire cast of hot bishies one side is military (yay uniforms) the other is the church (yay flouncy robes). I have to say I loved this series it was everything it needed to be, the men were hot, the action great, the story interesting, the scoring was good, the world was interesting and the slash was abundant. The story revolves around Taito Klein, orphan slave recruited into the military but highly ostracised by the other recruits. He is training to become part of the next military cadets with the only friend willing to put aside their backgrounds for the sake of friendship. But alas Taito finds out that the general killed his father and he is the heir to a kingdom that this militaries country destroyed. Taito goes a little crazy attacks the general and gets put into a cell. His best mate helps him escape and Taito manages to crash into a group of bishops and is rescued into sanctuary which is governed by the church and therefore the military cant come and take him back (pesky politics). So this is where our story really begins Taito of coarse has a secret hidden power, hidden memories he must recover, a sense of not knowing where he belongs, a lot of angst, a best friend he misses dearly, a new mentor and guardian in the form of a hot bishop that reads porn and is the centre of a government conspiracy. But this is not all, it turns out that this world is being invaded by demons trying to eat people's souls and it's the church that is fighting the evil spreading through the world. Taito is stuck in the middle of so many dilemmas, does he seek the truth behind the fall of his kingdom, does he seek revenge against the military that killed his father, does he join the church and help fight this evil or does he sit about and angst about how unfair his life is. In truth he goes through all of these in some way or the other. Most of the series concentrates on his journey to find his true path, his true destiny and coming to terms with who he is and where he belongs. This really is just fun watching and did I mention how hot the characters are? You can't fault a fun and interesting series. It's not the most original but it does have a great mythology running through it. Gods ruled the earth, one though was a little evil and decided that he wanted to corrupt and play havoc with the world. Well he was sealed away and to make sure he can not be reborn 7 death gods (shinigamis) were sent to protect the seal and stop him from ever resurrecting, they are known as the 7 Ghosts. Each Shinigami represents a quality or emotion, they are the seven aspects that make up god and these Shinigami have been reincarnated into the world as humans. Their role is to stop the spread of evil, as too much evil and soul eating will cause the re birth of the big bad god. The other aspect of the mythology is that each soul before being born to humanity goes before god and tells him what 3 things they would like to achieve as humans on earth. When they are born they of course forget these three goals but when they achieve them their lives are complete and they can transcend and move onto heaven. I like the mythology the idea that you have set goals you yourself have set that you must achieve in life otherwise you can't die and move onto the next life. It's an interesting idea that is unique to this series. The anime for 07 Ghosts is very much a prequel for bigger things to come. By the time you've finished it you realise that this series is only the beginning, that everything that has happened leads to Taito's decision in the final episode and where Taito has to go from hear. All the characters play important roles and a few are set up leaving you thinking they will have more importance to play at a latter date. Therefore the series has one of those ending no endings and I hope to god that they make more or that the manga is further ahead as |I really want to know what happens next. Plus I am a yaoi fan girl and I love slash so I want to enjoy more beautiful "friendship" moments between characters.
