Hello I am Mashiro4Ever and this is my first Anilist review so bear with me please. Also Im sure there will be spoilers along the way. Just a forewarning. Code: Breaker begins with Sakura Sakurakouji traveling home from school on a public bus. She looks out the window and sees a boy surrounded by blue flames which she finds odd and concerning so she asks the bus driver to let her off. By the time she gets to the spot of the possible crime however theres little to no evidence of anything Sakura is dumbfounded and wonders if she imagined the whole thing. The next day however at school a new transfer student shows up one looking just like the boy Sakura saw last night The transfer student goes by the name of Rei Oogami and he calls himself a trashman by trade. Sakura eventually gets Rei to spill that by trashman he means Code: Breaker or one who does not exist. He has the special ability to create blue fire when his gloved hand is ungloved and he uses that to kill the villains hes sent out to take care of. Sakura believes killing is going too far. So Sakura sees it as her duty to stop Rei as well as the other Code: Breakers she meets along the way from using their special powers for death and ultimate destruction. The above is clearly just a taste of the plot I dont want to give too much away but I can tell you this regarding the Code: Breaker plot: it just continues to get better and better as the anime goes on. At first you think youre stuck in a lame romcom. Then you think at least its not a romcom but it seems kinda stupid and shallow for a superhero show. By about the midway point the true significance of this anime starts to kick in. If you didnt stick around to episode seven plus youre gonna miss the real nectar that is the best this anime has to offer. I learned a lot of life lessons from this anime and the mistakes made by the characters involved. I know how NOT to treat people doing MY work. I give the plot 8/10 The art for Code:Breaker was very impressive but I personally feel like they saved their worst efforts for the anime itself. I was absolutely blown away with the looks of the opening and the closing. They were gorgeous But then I got to the anime and... I dunno. Nothing about it looked special. It just looked... ordinary. Not good not bad. Just... ordinary. I gave the art of the anime specifically a 7/10 though I couldve gone lower. I give the art overall 9/10 The music for Code:Breaker was the best music I have heard in a nonmusic genre anime in a LOOONG time. It fit the mood and theme of the anime perfectly and it got me pumped up and excited to start watching. Isnt that the two primary jobs of a good score??? Seriously its like the music and anime BELONGED together. The composer did an A+ job with this score. I give the music 10/10 I made the subtlest of teases at the end of my Plot section towards how this section would go. I honestly felt like the characters were the weakest part of Code:Breaker. Sort of like the anime art I felt at times like they were lacking something. Other times I wish they were. One character that sometimes annoyed me was Sakura Sakurakouji. The fact that she was ALWAYS high and mighty and preaching now why dont we just get along and not hurt each other??? just felt so fake it made me want to vomit. Dont get me wrong there were good characters. My favorite was No. 3 otherwise known as Yuuki Tenpouin. Yuuki has the special ability to use sound and like me is quite fond of cats A couple other characters quite honestly imo should have had more screentime. Rui Hachiouji aka No. 5 and Miyuki Kanda both were nice characters Id like to have learned more about. I guess I dont get to. I give the characters 7/10 My final category is entertainment. Through all the faults it had and it did have faults I still thoroughly enjoyed watching Code:Breaker. It does end finishing with the bare minimum effort but its not enough to ruin the anime. The previous 12 episodes were steadily improving throughout the series until episode 12 reaches an impressive peak. Im surprised this only has a 63 average rating here on Anilist. This is MUCH better than that I give entertainment 9/10 Have you ever done the right thing only to get no recognition for it??? Thats the world you enter when you watch Code: Breaker. Code: Breakers are most simply put tools used by the government to take care of the more difficult jobs that the police or others might not be able to handle. Because Code: Breakers have special abilities they can fight and defeat these tougher villains. But in return they get... nothing. A vast majority of the populace doesnt know they exist they get discarded like trash they receive no payment as far as I could tell... they do the dirty work and get nary a good job. They deserve however a great job. Overall Rating: 8.6
