Hmm... It is sorta like 'A Wednesday'. But I would be spoiling if I said anything further. It relies heavily on twists. A lot more than A Wednesday.

Your attitude to Bleach

I can actually sorta empathize with the insane notion of 'kill or be killed by a particular someone'. It can be taken as an attempt to close a chapter on ones life and is a powerful driving force. Mirai Nikki was kinda like that too.

That's cause it SPOILER IS a harem. But the FIRST EVER FUCKING ONE to actually deal with PROPER harem. There is family-planning, there is serious decision-making and everything. And the series doesn't constantly throw bullshit harem cliches in your face and expect you to just get used to it. No, there is proper development. And he isn't portrayed as the perfect human being either, which is great. He tries his best though.SPOILER And yeah, it SHOULDN'T be like NGNL. It is a narrative of a person's life, and how he slowly finds himself and gains the humanity that he lacked in his previous life while simultaneously influencing the people around him and making bonds beautiful and lasting. Whereas in NGNL, while Sora and Shiro do improve from their hikikomori style, the series doesn't depend on it. They were basically built for it. It's more about their intellect and skill than their personal story.

And technically swordsmanship doesn't becomes his strong point. He just used the mental reflexes he already had but this time facilitated by a young trained body. And his style is to you magic along with swordsmanship anyway. You could say its his magic aptitude and calculating skills that aid his melee, not really the true skill with the sword. It is Eris that is the recurring sword user of the series after Paul and Rudy accepts that he can't excel at it.
