Story 7 - Great concept and I want more. Can't wait for world building and politics. Several minor plot points were started but not resolved, left me unsatisfied with most character specific stories.
Art 5 - Very inconsistent quality, falls between an 8 and a 4. Serviceable, but I was hoping for better consistency for an anime in 2015. Ughhhh the CG was terrible. I cringed every time.
Sound 5 - No memorable OST whatsoever, lack of catchy OPs or EDs. Generic and totally average.
Characters 6 - Bare bones personality, really there to fill fetishes and required story roles. Nobody memorable outside of Rory. It makes due, just not up to par.
Enjoyment 7 - Overall an enjoyable anime. Would like to see it expanded on, and will probably watch season 2 to see if Itami and Rory bang.
Final score 6 - As a product by its own merits, it falls short of being called good, but my hope is that the franchise will see to some of my gripes in the near future. It's worth the watch if you enjoy military and fantasy as this anime caters to both. If you don't particularly care for either, than I would avoid it. Your time is better spent elsewhere. Season 2 is coming January 2016.
