Review:

     O7-Ghost feel of the story is very deep on an emotional level, has a lot of action scenes

and the main character always seems conflicted. Nonetheless, there is some comical and sweet scenes between Tieto and the other Bishops that does not crowd the story with only action scenes. Each episode slowly develops Tieto’s character, among some of the other characters, but not to the point where it becomes a bore but rather where it leaves you wanting more. This also makes it easy for one to have more than one favorite character.

     Tieto Klein seems good at heart and lonely at times when wondering about his lost memories and the significance of the recovered ones. He is quiet and not too social but gets along well with the nuns and Bishops at the church. When Bishop Frau had first taken Tieto to the church It was hard for him to believe that everyone in the church treated him well and cared for him without expecting anything in return. His search for truth & revenge and fulfilling his role & promise as a best friend is what makes Tieto’s character intriguing.

     Frau is a Bishop in the church of the 7th district. One of my favorite characters. Tieto and Frau seem to always bump heads, on occasions it could be comical then other times its serious. But Frau deeply cares for Tieto, for example when he occasionally saves him from Kors or gives him pep-talks. When Frau fights off Kors and has a mean intimidating look, in some scenes almost looking evil, and determination to help others (especially Tieto) is when his character looks most captivating.

     The Story itself is good. So far up to the 13th episode they have explained a little of Tieto’s past, who the three Bishops(that watch over Tieto) really are and the significance of  ‘The Eye of Mikhael. Although there is more left to be explained, the entertainment in the story for me comes in when Tieto each time discovers new supernatural powers and when Frau’s powers and battling skills exceeds everyone else’s.

     Labeling 07-Ghost as recommendable is not saying enough. If a story that has action, fantasy, and a protagonist that has an occult life with passion for revenge and an antagonist that will stop at nothing to find the eye of Mikhael, I would say this a must see!
