In the near future humanity is almost destroyed by the Gastrea; a parasitic virus. A few cities survive; they are surrounded by monoliths made of Gastrea repelling 'Varanium'. Shortly afterwards children are born infected with the Gastrea; they have special powers which make then invaluable in the fight against the Gastrea but also feared because they might one day be overcome by the virus; for this reason they are known as the 'cursed children'. The series protagonist Rentero Satomi is a member of the Civil Security forces and he battles Gastrea alongside cursed-child Enju. When an especially dangerous Gastrea attacks one of the monoliths they have four days to find a way to stop them or their city will fall.
There is plenty of excitement to be had in this series and a fair amount of strong bloody violence. The story might not be the most original but it was told in an interesting way and there was a good cast of characters, including some entertaining villains. On the way to the final confrontation there are the expected setbacks; including one particularly tragic moment. The animation and character designs were pretty good. Overall I'd say this series is worth watching if you want an action anime with interesting characters.
