About

You may enjoy this if you like intense anime thrillers with ethical dilemmas and a darker tone, somewhere between Mardock Scramble: The First Compression and Detective Conan: The Fourteenth Target; Not for you if gore, slow stretches, or contrived plotting bother you.

Pros: gripping medical premise; strong atmosphere; memorable animation | Cons: plot contrivances; uneven pacing; graphic surgery scenes
