I took long time after two first episode to motivate myself to watch the next episode. I will give the details why it's so hard to make myself interested with this one.

It tries to bring mysterious atmosphere but none of it works. The standout evident is about glowing fish phenomenon. The concept of glowing fishes which gives human super power ability is not superb too, It doesn't make any sense since the show appeared so plain even if the scenes shown dark colouring and horrible things occurred. The explanation of it wasn't satisfying enough as the slow emergence of boring fact—glowing fish phenomenon.
Well, on the other hand, aside from such harsh battles of supranatural powers, it does have romantic essence as the complement, which is no need to ask, also unsuccessful and unnecessary aspect to add. The way the show tried to bring romantic side made the point of this story fade. In the middle of the show, I began to conclude that these vicious fights really got guts to mingle with childish story. The spirit of being the hero of justice, the simple logic way of characters thinking to be the saviors, and the doki-doki / romantic thingy to lure more and somewhat pitying the characters—looking at too many sad moments as the drawer. The mission of rescuing the captives marked the ending of problematic fight, after it's revealed the man who adopts major character—like a swirling around in a dot only—started his plan as the mastermind of all the fuss.
From the explanation above, do not imagine that the fight would be damn good, because the graphic is so basic. I couldn't find any clue that the visualization here is the core of enjoyment, the graphic is not detailed even if the characters are on battle field.
Sadly, the characterization part is the supporting aspect of worsen the story. Sometimes we can accept humanly if minor characters are a mess or pain in the ass, but if it's the main characters do, then it's a doom.
Straight to the point, the OP is sung by Faylan "Tokyo Zero Hearts (東京ゼロハーツ)", and the ED theme is sooo gore errr metal (?) by Yousei Teikoku, "Kyuusei Argyros (救世Άργυρóϛ)". I would say these two theme songs are less than average.
Cons:
- Story is jumbled, sometimes so slow, sometimes so damn fast, with uncertain direction 'til it's almost at the end. Also too many unnecessary dramatic parts
- I found no single clue about the development of characterization
- Below average theme songs
