This is what the American series Hereos could have been like if it was written for adults.
It features super-powered people who are real people, their powers come at a real price and not a token moral price as is used in children's comics.
The story unfolds gradually with us getting to know more of the main character's back story from episode to episode.
The powers are interesting as is the background of fear and manipulation and the fact that it finishes is one series rather than dragging on to squeeze extra money out of the idea is appealing.
The plot is intelligent with no bad or annoying episodes and the ending is surprising and consistent, there is a small bit of comic relief but this is a dark story.
I hadn't watched any anime in years but this one dragged me in from the first episode and I didn't regret it.
