Anime News Network wrote:Set in a gothic fantasy world, this is the story of Teito Klein, an orphaned slave who became the top military academy student. However, an unexpected turn of events left him pursued by the forces of the Barsburg Empire.

Now an escaping convict, Teito's sheltered by the church and it’s law of sanctuary. Here, he discovered many mysteries surrounding himself, the church, and the Empire itself. The fact that he might be connected to a dethroned king and the mystical stone of god, 'The Eye of Mikhael' made him the target of the empire more than ever.

Fortunately the church is under the mythical 7 Ghost protection. But who are the Ghosts really. Will Teito be free from the military's clutch, And what of his said mission to uncover the history. And who is the military's Chief-of-Staff Ayanami exactly. Teito's future seems to have spiraled into an unexpectedly perilous path.


i've read a bit of the manga for this and ive seen the first episode.

it seems to have a bit of potential but it feels confusing at first. for some reason this kinda reminds me of Code Geass but without the Geass =O

speaking of which, artwork's nice. lots of pretty boys. there is a bit BroMance goin on but i highly doubt its shounen-ai or any of the sort.

Code Geass without the Geass is just Gundam.
What's Gundam without the Gundams?

lol :lol:

wel this anime doesnt have mech as far as ive seen. i dont think it was even categorized as a mech.

what i meant by code geass is like the whole enemy of the empire, being connected to the kingand other little things that you'll see that reminded me of code geass...maybe...i dunno just somethin that i thought =P

then again i guess there are other anime like it but code geass was the first thing that popped up

Saw the first five episodes and I quite like it :D It's interesting and leaves me wondering what's going to happen next.

I shall follow and see where it goes from here :twisted:

A friend of mine saw this just because DB was subbing it, and now he's goading me into watching it. So, I'll probably check it out sometime in the next few days.
He did say there's a suspicious reak of yaoi tension in the air though. The last time that happened to me was Nabari no Ou, and we all know how that worked out. :evil:

The main bad thing I have to say about this is that it uses some of the lamest particle effects I've seen in a while

Three episodes in, I drop here. I didn't see anything appealing to me about the show. And I definitely did not make a connection to Code Geass. I just see the same crap that I see everywhere else. I guess I'll just never like shoujo stuff simply because Im a guy. :|

Well I think I remember reading somewhere that it wasn't really a shoujo but shonen because of all the action and fighting later :\

Episode 6 was boring and I don't like the way it's going.It would have been much better if they followed the manga :(

Wikipedia wrote:07-Ghost is a fantasy manga written and illustrated by Yuki Amemiya and Yukino Ichihara. It is currently serialized in the monthly shōjo manga magazine Monthly Comic Zero Sum published by Ichijinsha.

The last shoujo I saw that tried to act like a shounen was Vampire Knight. I wasted 12 hours of my life on that piece of shit and I'm not doing it again.

Was hooked by opening credits....

Story seems ok....but I will watch an anime b/c I think it's pretty. VERY VERY guilty. :) keeping an eye out for possible licensing....wondering who will pick it up?

Just saw episode 7 - nothing special but the preview certainly looks interesting :D Seems like it's going back towards the original plot of the manga which is a good thing.
