Would you kill someone you love because of love?

So with adding more anime to my Netflix Instant Queue, I found this rather interesting anime that sparked my interest. Here's Ga-rei: Zero.

It starts off with the Japanese Ministry of Defense's Paranormal Disaster Countermeasure Headquarters who work to rid Japan of dangerous evil demons who wish to bring about destruction. However, this is upset when one of their workers, katana user Yomi Isayama, kills PDCH operatives. Why she has done this? No one really knows, but it doesn't matter since now she has to be killed for her crime. That's where close friend and "little sister" Kagura Tsuchimiya comes in when she is faced to kill her "older sister".

By episode three, the suspense stops you when it goes into a few episodes of flashbacks where Kagura, as a shy and sad young girl who is taken under Yomi's foster family's care when her father was busy against paranormal forces after her mother's death. Over time, the girls bond and become sisters and agents of the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division (SDCD).

Now Yomi's mysterious actions break their sisterly bond and the "sisters" become enemies. What will become of them?

This anime is actually a prequel to a manga simply known as Ga-rei. So if anyone has read Ga-rei you probably have a good idea of what happens in this anime.

Ga-rei: Zero is by far one of the greatest combinations of horror, action, tragedy and comedy I've seen. It a bit graphic and bloody and contains some nudity so if that isn't your cup of tea, sorry. Really great and tragic story line that I immediately love.
