| Summary: |
In the year 2021, mankind was decimated by the epidemic of Gastrea, a parasitical virus, and is forced to live within Monoliths, which are created from Varanium: a metal that is able to subdue Gastrea. Soon, the "Cursed Children", children born with the Gastrea virus who are able to control it, which gives them superhuman abilities, are discovered. Due to the Gastrea virus' intervention, the Cursed Children could only be female. Civil Securities are formed to specialize fighting against Gastrea, operating with the pair of an Initiator, who are cursed children, and a Promoter, serving to lead the cursed children. Ten years after the epidemic, Rentarō Satomi, a high school student who is also a Promoter in his childhood friend Kisara Tendō's Tendō Civil Security, along with his Initiator Enju Aihara, receives a secret mission to prevent the Tokyo Area's destruction. |

Note: This is not a review, more of a "current impression" based on the first 4 episodes.
A "survival" concept in an anime is a very generic concept nowadays. The show has many parallels to SnK - Gastrea is a parasitic virus because of which human species is being faced with a threat of extinction, and the only hope for survival are the 'cursed children' which are the spawns of people infected with the virus. Attractive right?
Anyway, the show starts off very nicely (Kudos to the excellent animation!). The main character Rentaro is surprisingly not as annoying as I thought he would be. The other prominent characters are interesting as well. But here's what disappointing - the pacing is just bad. First episode - rushed, second episode - not as rushed but still the pacing is off, third episode - pacing is off again, fourth episode - extremely rushed. Yeah, the pacing is just too damn much to take in. The fourth episode was a horrible episode, everything happened too fast, a total mess - I dropped it. I'm thinking of picking it up again, but I don't know, I might not.
If you wanna watch this, then I do recommend it if you do not care about flaws. But this anime is not for people who are fussy over pacing.

If you can imagine Yuri on Ice! meets Holmes of Kyoto, then this is it. Slow paced but gripping. Boy-Love but not distasteful...
