Mixed Feelings
As soon as I saw this anime on Netflix, the one thing that grabbed my attention was the background art and pleasant scenery. The plot summary seemed interesting enough: a girl serving as the vessel for the "Hime-gami" reluctantly. A bit cliche, but you don't know until you try.

I wish I didn't try though.

Story: 3/10
I finished the anime more confused than when I started. Nothing in the series was every fully explained and/or rushed. There was an unparalleled feeling of dissatisfaction from something with so much potential.

Art: 7/10
As I mentioned before, the art was what hooked me in the beginning. Being a relatively new anime, RDG had great perspectives and angles with plenty of detail in the backgrounds. The character design was very standard, however, and did not stand out.

Sound: 5/10
Special effects were nothing truly special. Voice acting was standard, though a bit emotionless even in scenes that were supposedly emotional (though I wouldn't know since the story was heavily underdeveloped). It was fair overall.

Character: 3/10
I ended up not sympathizing with any of the characters or understanding their motives. There's no substantial background on any of them, even the main character! The "romance" is incredibly rushed and awkward. No one is truly memorable or has gradual development. It's just all too sudden.

Enjoyment: 4/10
I mean, I watched all of it for the sake of watching it in case it got better. But alas, it was only 12 episodes and nothing really happened. There's no humor, sadness, anything. Just...confusion.

Overall: 5/10
I am generously giving this series a 5/10 because of its art alone. There was so much potential in RDG and none of my expectations were met (besides art).
