Genres: Action, Dark Fantasy, Military, Supernatural Studio: Studio Kai Source: Light Novel Jack's Score: 9/10 Rick's Score: 9/10 Verdict: A dark, original spin on the hero genre that is genuinely worth your time, just know it gets gory and some of the big plot beats are more predictable than they should be.
