The plot of this anime focuses on Tatsumi who is a boy from a poor village traveling to the capital to earn money to save his home-town. He has learned to fight as a kid and traveled to the city with two friends, who get brutally tortured and die, being the causal factor for Tatsumi to join a group of assassins who protect those being abused by the power of the city. It is a very well told story of betrayal, love and loss and fighting for those who cannot defend themselves.
The theme of the series is assassination, heroism and social values (good and evil especially and love of course). It is the value-part and how it is conveyed that makes this anime into something special. This anime shows really good character development but it also cuts the character down , as in kills them off, just when you learn more about them and start to know them better.
This creates a tension between the viewer and the anime making the viewer want to see more and find out if they really are dead or not.
The genres of this anime include : Animation, Action, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Romance and thriller. This makes it well worth watching with something for everyone, keeping in mind that this would not be suitable for younger viewers and it does get very gory.
