You can really tell that Souta Ueno is directing this show. It's so cinematic! I especially like the shots where everyone looks simplified, as if they are out of the focus of the camera. This just doesn't feel like the typical anime, and that's great.

@EcchiGodMamster

Not see if I am late to replying~

I just finished volume 4.

In most volumes, it is usually a girl killing a ton of girls, the weapons they use range from knives to sub machine guns to fist fights. Yes, they fist fight to the death.

I will definitely be reading volume 5 months later. Not watching the anime though because I need to catch with other light novel series~
