OK, you got me. It was all worth the blood, boobs and tears

Warning: Spoilers
I have seen stories with similar twists before so I manged to guess what was happening fairly early but to be honest as it went on from there it made me doubt my predictions. This is a good time travel story line that you will not guess if you do not watch a few time travel related story lines. At times shocking and suspenseful with a great twist. Tactical and manipulative with murder and death almost always in the cards the lack of direct combat magic doesn't dull the action.

My main warning is that this show is not child friendly, the first few episodes may let you off with a warning but the main characters personal development is a boys coming of age story meaning it will all be about growing a pair and using them in a physical and metaphorical sense. It's pretty violent and, because of the characters age, if this movie was live action, you could be arrested for watching and distributing it (forgive the euphemism but if you don't get it your too innocent for this).

Stop reading if you do not like spoilers because the next part is full of a few veiled ones but nothing too specific.

To summarize the plot the universe is destroyed so a 14 year old can get laid and I'm going to call statutory on it because he was not ready for that. The kid was scared of boobs (there are allot of them in this), there was a weird Stockholm syndrome thing going on and everyone was dead.... But any way the poor kid unfortunately suffers of a bad case of reluctant hero ( he cries so much) and protagonist allure in a universe that is kind of rapey (I kid you not at one point some on asks if he'd like to be raped before he dies). From this hedonistic world his only real shield in this fairly adult world is his snow queen style baby face powers, in the words of Hans Christian Anderson "I can give (him) no greater power" because just like in the snow queen, puppy dog eyes get you out of allot of jams. Not to spoil things but I will tell puppies grow up especially when they being trained to be hunting dogs and there will be allot of comments about his balls. Sounds gay I know and it almost was but I swear no gay sex scenes. To put your mind at ease, it only ever actually shows one sausage, I think there might have been more in the baby photos some where but I wasn't on really looking for it. Other than the almost homosexuality, this show has allot of similarities with Madoka Magicka but it is much less surreal and of course has some sausages.
