Update this.
Okay, I have to say this has been very exciting, the ideal of penal heroes been treated the way they are like dogs and not living beings is a good set up and you have got to love the main protagonist and the goddess as they go through the series. Although I feel facing seems to be slow as more episodes roll out but it is a fun and interesting watch. I give it a 6.5/10
