After both playing the game and watching the anime to completion, my respect of the anime has gone up a hundredfold. It actually is incredibly faithful to the game after you can get passed the slow start. While most anime adaptions of video games suffer from leaving details out, this doesn't do that at all. Every single detail is in place, and some are even expanded on, making it an enjoyable watch, especially after playing the game. Plus, the extra characters didn't even feel out of place.

In all, a pretty good anime. It did suffer from plot shenanigans from time to time, but then again, so does everything.
