This was a pretty good looking anime that I originally thought wouldn't take too long since it was only 7 episodes, boy was I wrong. This anime has the longest episodes I've ever seen for an anime its almost like seven movies shortest being 45 minutes to longest being 2 hours.
Besides the jaw dropping episode length it was a very well animated and had a wonderful soundtrack. The quality of the downloads is also very good so that was pleasing.
The length of the episodes helps to provide character development and also gives the audience enough time to get to know the characters even though its very short in terms of episode numbers.
The shorts at the start were very interesting and the way it is presented gives it a very unique feel. Another thing to note is that some episodes have little bits of the anime after the credits not all of the episodes have it but some do. Its not overly important to get but it helps piece together some of the plot.
Down to the negatives the timeline of the anime is very messed up. It starts first episode present second and fourth episode past and then there that one episode where almost nothing made sense until the very because they kept going forward and then back (Paradox Spiral is the name). If you want the timeline clearly presented to you look it up on wikipedia.
The violence for the anime is also very strong so not exactly recommended to the light-hearted. Most are within tolerable viewing for me but I think a few were a bit over the top. Last episode got a bit ewie with a stalker inpersonator cannibal person who drools a lot. Its a dark anime so I guess this is to be excepted so do keep in mind that the comedy is very small.
Also I felt not all of the things were laid out very clearly. You don't find out about "the accident" until the last episode (irritating) and a couple of other things weren't all that easy to understand.

All in all its a very good anime in terms of action, magic and gore. However if you don't like strong blood and violence, sexual references such as rape or confusing plots then maybe you should consider another anime. If you liked this anime then you may also be interested in the manga or light novel. Other anime made by the same group are Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night and Mahoutsukai no Yoru.
