The other characters are also really well constructed.Norman being the smart and clever speaker, and Ray the practical thinker and strategist of their plan. His backstory is also relieved later.

                 The animation and voice acting is good.The sound track is great especially during the heart stopping scenes.Though the anime is only 12 episodes, a new season is expected soon as the manga has progressed way far.
