If the baby was taken away to be raised in seclusion away from the world he may not have a clear understanding of many complex circumstances. For EX: what is hope? It is a simple question with a complex answer but instead of trying to explain it they just showed Jin's caretaker still alive which I found very touching. I hope there is more of those simple philosophical questions throughout the anime. Also, there seems to be a complex caste system or at least a higher degree of social stratification going on in the anime. I haven't read the manga so obviously I do not know. Predictions follow. The interplay of the rival characters is going to be interesting (I think) with one using more of a logical pragmatic approach to Justice and the other one using his heart. I think it will be reminiscent of Zero and his counterpart (terrible with names) in Code Geass. Both fighting for the same thing but in wholly different ways. I could be terribly terribly wrong but it is fun to conjecture


I personally thought the animation was very well done and the "monsters" seemed interesting and well thought out. The only big cliche I see is the skinny guy saying "grow up well" and then deceiving the others of his kind about that knowledge. I am sure there are others but this anime seems to have depth. I have heard the manga "loses it's way" but until I see it I am going to stick around. I actually would not have minded more "set-up" and "world-building" but the characters are strong enough and interesting enough that that flaw was "on the back burner" so to speak.
