This is not an anime to watch alone. This is an anime to watch on bad movie night. This is the anime equivalent of Tommy Wiseau's The Room. This is Plan 9 From Outer Space. This is the anime equivalent of hilariously campy.
The story offers little to no background in what is clearly a rather complex fantasy world. Don't bother yourself by trying to figure anything out. It won't do a lick of good. Just sit back and laugh at this comedy gold.
I don't give a crap about talking art-style and character development (with the exception of Giant Tawrad, who has an inexplicably large sword he inexplicably never uses in battle; he is the bees knees!!!), what I care about is the sound. It is of the utmost importance that you go straight for the English dub of this cult masterpiece, because it's what truly shines. From half-assed "screams" of despair to quotable gems like "You certainly got sexy," this dub has it all. Do you like watching a guy talking to himself across a dimensional rift with dialogue that is incredibly nonsensical? Of course you do! I kid you not, a master writer could TRY to make this worse and fail.
The real key is that this is not the kind of bad that hurts because you just can't stand to have it on for another second, this is the kind of bad that hurts because your sides will ache from all the laughing you'll be doing.
