Summary:
In the nights of Tokyo, mysterious deaths involving the 'Reborn Dead' occur. People that are disappearing at night suddenly reappear during the day as a corpse. Not only that, but as the corpses are sent to the morgue to be autopsied, they disappear again leaving signs showing that they escaped themselves.
To fight these 'Reborn Dead' and to prevent more deaths, mysterious transfer student, Tatsuma Hiyuu, and delinquent student, Kyouichi Houraiji, stay up every night to fight and solve what's causing this. Along with the rest of their group, who all have supernatural powers, they soon realize that a greater threat, which involves even more powerful demons, is near.
Although there's no getting around certain flaws about this particular anime, I believe it does very well as far as plot is concerned. It is somewhat predictable at first, but the conclusion left me teary-eyed. I would really like to see more of it. Unfortunately, I had to watch it on Netflix, so I got the Funimation version, some translations by whom I was very disappointed. For anyone watching the English version, the word "Shogunate" is not pronounced "show-guh-nah-tey", it's "show-gun-uht" or "show-guh-nate". Haven't watched the JP version yet, but I would like to see at least the last two episodes, just to get a better line on the voice actors.
