Story(6)-The story is okayish, I guess. While the overall plot is decent and such I would have loved to see more of the apocalyptic culture. Oh well, I guess there's Mad Max. The story centers on a young boy named Sam, whose older brother Dick(I am not making this up) mysteriously vanished years ago. Sam believes OZMA is the reason for his disappearance and tries to track OZMA's movement. While this story is great in concept I don't believe it actually works. The majority of the 6 episodes is someone being kidnapped and Sam's friends having to retrieve them. The ending is a bit lackluster as it does not provide valid closure to the audience as well.
Art(8)-Honestly, the art was pretty good. This art was very unique so to speak, as every character had their own facial structure. Even the throwaway's had no similarities among them even if they were only active for one scene.
Sound(5)-Aside from the opening and the closing no music came to my mind as special. I believe the opening was tailored for this anime as it fits the mood perfectly. The closing is extremely mellow as well, which is something I look for in my theme pieces. The only negative is the other music isn't really notable. If I was only judging based off of theme music alone, this would be a 8.
Character(5)-The character's were alright, the main character(Sam) pissed me off to no end. It's obviously not apparent that this character learns any lesson from his actions and does the same actions over and over to advance the plot. Other more interesting characters do the same type of thing and the most interesting characters are skipped over in the process of attempting to develop other characters
Enjoyment(4)-I didn't really enjoy the series because it had one key flaw to me, it did not worldbuild very well. The majority of the story happens on the barren desert while they had a beautiful intro city that I would have love to see more off. It also had battles in locations that we knew about in this world and did not attempt to be unique in a sense.
Overall(4)-This series does what it is intended to do, which is tell a story about the mysterious OZMA, but even then it barely does that. It skips over the notable thing in the post-apocalyptic genre in favor of horrible character development.
Would I recommend this series if your an very experienced anime viewer? : Yes.
Anyone else? :
No
