Here's a thought: don't start near the end of the story. Berserk pulled it off--but it started after everyone got killed. Even When They Cry did a better job. It was difficult to watch this show because the first two episodes kill everyone off. Then it goes back in time and your expected to give a darn about the characters. Well, I didn't find this entertaining. Maybe I'll watch it again in a few years, but for now there's a really rank taste left in my mouth...
