About this show

It sucks being dead. It sucks even more to be trapped in a surreal afterlife where you're caught between the living and the dead—and where a mysterious, violent Angel is trying to pull you over to...somewhere. What do you do? Well, if you're this group of rough-and-tumble teens, you grab every weapon you can get your hands on and give Heaven hell!

This particular product is weird. Why is it more expensive to buy the Full Season compared to buying each episode 1-by-1? The episode descriptions also mix a few characters name's up as of this review time. This is a very good option for people that travel a lot and do not want to carry discs around and don't have the means to rip their DVDs/blurays. Obviously ti's very bare bones and does not include the bonus episodes/OVA. If you want the full experience, the bluray/dvd would be a better option.

I Really like the characters, especially "Iwasawa" I liked personality and I could reflect On her. If only she Stayed In Longer,That way This Anime would Be so Much Better. In a Way This Anime reminds me of "Yu Yu Hakusho" and "Bleach'

Three words to describe this amazing show that touches on the tales of kids who have past on to soon from life and how to accept what's happened. Friendships and relationships are forged and the group faces the biggest fear of their afterlife. Pick it up if you have time.
