I didn't read the manga, so I can't compare, but in an absolute sense, I think this was a great anime. The animation is very fluid, the music is interesting, and the plot is still there. I'll strongly recommend it to people who can be objective.

It has some good action scenes in it and enjoyed blood and gore.
oOne of the downfalls i saw with this anime was the way it ended, it felt like only half of the story was told.

I can't say this series is a good adaptation of the same title manga graphic novel. So many things are missing in plot compared to the manga, the feeling of it in the first place. But of course, if they were to tell the whole plot in anime it would make like 300+ episodes. Even though, the style, main character Manji and action is making this series worth watching.
