Synopsis

Famous writers throughout history find themselves being reincarnated by a mysterious, unseen entity known as the Alchemist. With their souls confined and bound to an expansive library, they are tasked by the Alchemist to jump into books to purify the pages of monsters called Taints. Along the way, they must also rescue and recruit fellow authors trapped within the very stories they themselves had written.

Although the writers take on new and powerful forms for this endeavor, some still maintain a semblance of who they once were, while others struggle to remember their pasts and the works they had penned. Despite there being no apparent end to their grand mission, they remain committed to the cause in hope of resolving the mystery behind their collective resurrection as well as questions that have haunted their former lives.

It's definitely not an anime for those who are used to generic works that the industry has produced.

The low number of reviews x the low rates that the anime has received shows how much of the audience only watched a few moments of the show, did not understand the narrative proposal and took their judgment. It's a pity to see something a bit out of the box being rejected immediately

But for those who want a different experience, who are moved by the act of writing or creative production, just watch. This anime has definitely made my day's moments a lot more comfortable.

TL;DR -- this show's biggest problem is that it is boring.

Art: 8
Best point of the show really. The characters are generally not poorly proportioned or poorly colored. The color palette is generally pleasant. There is even some level of depth to the shading. It hardly if at all qualifies for action but the action scenes in it are decent.

Sound: 5
It's not terrible, it's not great. Nothing I will remember after the show but nothing that will make me watch the show muted either.

Characters: 4
The idea is to take historical writers (of Japan) and take an interesting spin on them. Having knowledge of Japanese literary ...

In literature, there are a lot of quotes that become lifelong mantras that we live by, and whether it is a novel that moves us to tears, a play that intrigues or a poem that rouses our passions, a piece of well-written literature can have an impact on our emotions and behaviour that become value-added systems in life. But adapting this into a medium can be the hardest thing to swallow. Literature, like a play, when done right, it can be an adventure worth the long journey, and in the case of this show, it has a promising start and build-up, only to let that ...
