Kurau Phantom Memory

There are many titles that the masses praise when there is nothing, even more of those that are not noticed with their very decent quality.
I won't call this title an "Unrecognized masterpiece," but I can say for sure that they unfairly prefer to keep silent about it.
This anime has a lot of positive sides, starting with the nice graphics and going to the point that there are important messages and subtexts. There is also the theme of the importance of family, the importance of not crossing the line when it is so tempting. Yes, even the theme of the danger of the pursuit of power.
The musical accompaniment is very pleasant. What I like about a lot of anime from the noughties is the music. It's always done in such a way that you can turn on any song and feel one side or the other of the title. Although, to be honest, the opening is a bit unsuitable in terms of music. I like the song itself and I think I'll even turn it on occasionally, but when watching it, I wanted to rewind it, because it interrupted the rather gloomy mood of the series (the song sounds quite relaxing, and for a title of this mood it's not what you need). On the other hand, the ending, which I never wanted to switch. He was very good. After listening to the song for the first time, it flew into my track list.
Well, it's worth scolding the title anyway.
The characters in it are weak. The characters don't have enough depth- they're too flat. The main villain doesn't look like a terrible evil at all. Yes, he is a criminal and uses power for his own purposes, but only such a villain is good when he is opposed by someone who cannot dissolve this bastard with one touch. Say, in some police thriller, yes. In a crime drama, yes. In a classic detective story, yes. But we have fiction about superpowers, and when the villain can't do anything against it, then his importance somehow plummets, and suspending disbelief stops working. Don't you want to make him like Kurau? Okay, then at least give him a trump card that he will suddenly pull out. In general, they overlooked it.

And some characters have strange or no motivation at all. They show us a woman who works for the agency, they tell us that her family was killed, and literally until the last couple of episodes, this ceases to play any role. And they tell it in the first half of the story.She also starts hunting heroines just because she was given an order, but she does it as if they were the killers. Later, of course, she will say in response, "How many of our people like you have killed?!", but if she really lost her colleagues once because of the Rhinax, then why didn't they tell us about it? It's not clear.
In general, I have the following to say. The title is not deservedly ignored. In many ways, it surpasses the titles that the anime community directly licks (I won't say the names, because our people are very touchy) Therefore, I recommend taking a look, if necessary, at something much more complicated than a seasonal three-pack.
