Personal Ratings: 3.5
At first when I watched the first episode, I thought that this would be a really dumb anime. I couldn't be more wrong. The anime was very interesting. 

I kind of like how they made some people from hell is good, and some people from heaven is bad. And the complicated situation between hell and heaven. 
Loved how they put the character, William, as a realist. (it makes the show more believable that way, and less stupid on the comedy side). It's one anime you cannot stop watching till you finish every episode.

I just think that they should have made more impact on the first episode. I am confused about Solomon; when they flashback to this past, it really seemed as if he was a very kind and charismatic guy who attract demons. But in the last two episode, it seemed as if he was a very forceful and violent guy to rely on his power. 
The ending of the show was also a little too fast. I felt that they should have explained things more clearly, like what was Solomon's aim (they have been talking about it for half of the whole anime), what was Dantalian's past like that made him into a demon, how and why did sytry change sides from heaven to hell. I think they should have a 2nd season and make things really clear.

When I first watch this series, some things didn't really made any sense to me until I watch it for the 2nd time. (i think it's the way they arrange the scenes).


Art Ratings: 3
I don't really like the way they draw the eyes and some of the characters. But I totally loved how they draw the pretty characters.
