07-Ghost (セブンゴースト)


Another show ended, this time with 25 episodes. Personally I thought it was extremely inconclusive but the manga is ongoing and the anime felt like a starter of some sorts so a second season could be made easily.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Set in a gothic fantasy world, this is the story of Teito Klein, an orphaned slave who became the top military academy student. However, an unexpected turn of events left him pursued by the forces of the Barsburg Empire. Now an escaping convict, Teito's sheltered by the church and it’s law of sanctuary. Here, he discovered many mysteries surrounding himself, the church, and the Empire itself. The fact that he might be connected to a dethroned king and the mystical stone of god, 'The Eye of Mikhael' made him the target of the empire more than ever. Fortunately the church is under the mythical 7 Ghost protection. But who are the Ghosts really. Will Teito be free from the military's clutch, And what of his said mission to uncover the history. And who is the military's Chief-of-Staff Ayanami exactly. Teito's future seems to have spiraled into an unexpectedly perilous path.

I think they could have made this show shorter because I kind of dropped the show about 7 episodes in due to slow plot progression and everything being kind of generic. Then a friend told me what happens later and I decided to catch up. Things get much more interesting later. Its not a terribly good show since its full of "bishounen" and targeted towards girls but the bromance made me cry and of course, my personal rule, anything that makes me cry is a pretty decent watch for me. And I'm a dirty pedo so I like watching little boys cry and suffer...

My rating: 3.8/5
Tear rating: 4.9/5 (bromance, super friendship etc etc)
