Story– The story takes place after a natural disaster causes an upheaval in an area close to Tokyo, Japan creating a harsh environment known as the Lost Ground. In the wake of the disaster a growing number of people with the ability to manipulate the matter around them are born, these people become known as Alters. The Lost Ground is policed by an elite military force known as HOLD, a special operations division of HOLD known as HOLY is comprised entirely of Alter users who are used in missions that require the abilities of an Alter. The series follows the ongoing rivalry between the two Alters Kazuma and Ryuho as they fight for Lost Ground and the ultimate build up to their defeat of a greater enemy.

Art/Animation- The series features colorful artwork matched well with great animation and stylish characters. Visually, this is a very pleasing experience.

Sound/Music- The series has some pretty great music that is distinctive to the series. Overall I think it suits the series perfectly and enhances the viewing experience.

Character- The series boasts a colorful cast of characters featuring a wide range of personalities and relationships. The main character Kazuma comes off at first as just another street punk who fights dirty but eventually proves himself to be a pretty good guy; while the other main character Ryuho is the exact opposite being a clean cut man in uniform who places too much importance in his job, eventually he goes rogue and helps Kazuma beat an even greater enemy. As the series progresses, the rivalry between the two develops into a friendship when they are forced to join forces to defeat an even greater enemy and protect the ones they love. Other major characters include: Kanami, who is like a sister to Kazuma and is unaware of what he has to go through supporting her. Mimori, a childhood friend of Ryuho's and later love interest. Scheris, alter partner and love interest to Ryuho.. she gives her life to save him. And finally Cougar, a headstrong and laid back alter who lives life in the fast lane.

Enjoyment- This series is a very enjoyable watch and is something that I would watch again at any time, if you like science fiction you'll love this.

Islamic Factor– The topic of religion remains almost untouched in the series, the series focus is mostly on science fiction and whatever references made to religion in series are not offending to any particular group. This series however is intended for older audiences and I would recommend it to older teens and above for both violence and language, along with complex themes that may be tough on a younger audience. Nudity is minimal in this series, and the only things I think would turn a Muslim watcher off from the series would be the complexity of it to some audiences.

Conclusion– Overall this series was a great watch and I really do miss seeing it on Adult Swim, I would definitely recommend to a friend. This is a series made for the person who likes a bit of science fiction blended with post apocalyptic action and will not fail to please it's audience.

*I have watched both the official dub and subbed versions, both are pretty good.
