This anime is very different from your traditional seinen. It is extremely dark and mature. The plot is unique. Rather than the traditional plot whereby the villain hunts the protagonists, it was the other way round with the protagonists pinning the villains in a tough corner. The fights and action scenes are phenomenal and the animation quality was nothing but high class. It is definitely 18+ in terms of the highly mature content it contains.

I love the art style and character design. Every scene is gorgeous and has excellent composition. The story is simple but great, with many reversal.
The anime contains lots of violence and sexual innuendo. It also holds a satiric attitude towards religion. If you don't mind these, it will be a great experience to watch this animation.
What upsets me is that the story ends suddenly, at its climax.

They made some odd choices.

The story is good, and the action is certainly there! The animation style is different and I dig it! However, it is really hard to keep up with the subtitles, especially when they are doing the fast explanations of things. Gets frustrating having to rewind or pause constantly.
I'm sure my reading ability will improve, but this is rough!

Its alright. The animation is different. You would either love it or hate it. I personally didn't really prefer it having watched so many animes in the conventional style. The story is fast paced and there is plenty of action. However, there is plenty of gore, references to paedophilia and allusion to rape as well. Definitely an 18+ anime. Not everyone's cup of tea but I would watch season 2 if it comes out for the storyline.
Felt like a hentai

Warning: Spoilers
For people that read the reviews and want to know ahead of time of any sensitive/taboo topics to expect, this anime has depictions of adults having sex with children (7 years or younger), rape, anal probing, torture, gore, and masterbation. This heads up is for anyone expecting the typical sex/gore M rating content and not realizing this show is much heavier. I have a lot of friends that find these themes a deal breaker so hopefully I've helped people not waste time.
Now that the rating explanation is out of the way, I'll get into the review. I loved the fighting, the gorgeous color palette, and the characters were fun. Rin and Hayato were my favorites - block headed, stubborn, and strong. They had an interesting plot between demons vs god like beings. I wanted to know what could actually kill an Idaten. What purpose do they have? Why are they so different from demons. Why are the demons covered in eyes on the inside? Plus the opening song and animation is cool as hell. Why the low rating? It was so sexual that it hit a point where it stopped feeling like an anime. I kept waiting for more character development, more action, more plot, more progression. A lot of the plot felt rushed and the first fast forward was funny but the next few skipped over core points that could've been explained more in the show. I would've preferred less sex for more fight scenes and to fill in plot holes.
