It seemed like a cross between Fullmetal Alchemist and Karas. It's in a FMA-type world where sorcery is used in every profession imagineable...but it's highly regulated by the govt. But there is a drawback to sorcery...the more an individual uses it, the more he/she is in danger of changing into a maniacal demon/mutant (similar to Boomers in the A.D. Police/Bubblegum Crisis universe). Sorcerers are required to were protective armors/ molds that keeps them from changing. The story focuses on a female agent overseeing tactical sorcerers who bumps into an unlicensed sorcerer when terrorists are unleashing a scourge of turned sorcerers across the city. She regretfully uses his services of the unknown sorcerer and his half human/demon sidekick.
The animation is well done and so are the character designs. It was hard not to make comparisons to FMA however.
