FYI - no spoilers but thematic elements crucial to the plot revealed - continue at your own risk.This is the best Anime TV show I've ever watched. Disregard the fact that this show has only 8.4 stars at the time of this writing on this site - this is easily a 9.5 or 10/10 Anime.The show doesn't move slowly at all and contains almost no fillers. There are moments when flashbacks occur but their brevity makes the plot move at a good pace. In some shows I've watched, sometimes a character's backstory detract from the progression of the plot. In this show, the backstory serves to explain the conflicting natures that the characters possess, and why they behave the way they do, but not detracting from the plot at all. I can't recall a single episode where the plot didn't progress when there was some illustration of a character's backstory.The best reason to watch this show is because it asks the questions, what is a hero? How should a hero live? Why do characters look up to a hero? Who is the model hero? These questions are not so easily answered, as you will notice. The creator of this Anime answers that question through the eyes of the main character and by his actions. A hero is someone who is altruistic, self-sacrificing, and willing to save others at the cost of his own life. Yes, some may have their own motives. Some characters have their own perspectives as to what a hero represents, but the creator seems to suggest that true heroes contain the attributes outlined above.There is much more to say about this show, and to go on with the major themes and why we should care as a society, but I think you should watch this for yourself and try to empathize with the main character. You will fall in love with the show quickly.

If you like Naruto, definitely give this a watch. It is starting off amazing so far. It's easily turning into one of my favorite anime shows, if not, one of my favorite shows of all time. You don't wanna miss this!
