Sigh.
I am writing this in hopes of preventing you from watching this show, or at least helping you decide about it.
This has been a truly abysmal story. Not only is the story bland, confusing, and just meaningless, but the art and animation are low-quality and consistently distracting. The basic premise of the story is how a man enters an isekai world of anthropomorphic museum relics and somehow takes up the job of curing them from a weird kind of disease while also trying to learn where it comes from. This premise is already cliché and problematic, but the show ruins it further by being boring
...
and relying too much on convenient narration explaining the isekai world which no one really cares about. The episodes also feel slow and really choppy in terms of their connection to the overall plot. As if these aren’t enough, weird stuff like a game of tetris that appears out of nowhere and spider-shaped moeblobs jumping into a giant hourglass are just there for no reason at all and makes the whole thing even worse. Finally, the abrupt ending does not provide a sense of closure to the plot, instead leaving many plot holes. It is bittersweet, however, but that seems to point at lazy writing more than any intention of the writers to save the story.
Another issue of the show is that despite the supposed seriousness of its subject, it is literally a thinly-disguised harem story minus the s*x. Over time, you come to realize that its only focus is about collecting waifus and bishounens from different worlds, who eventually form this big team of cute… um... spirits or something. It's actually worse than other true harem shows because this show tries to hide this fact, as if it realizes that having the harem is something to be ashamed of. And it fails by a lot. The result is that the harem and the story fight for your attention, but you end up hating both.
All of these problems are truly exacerbated by the consistently terrible art and animation quality. Throughout the show, we can see the individual frames like it's some kind of comic instead of an animation. Characters travel in obvious straight lines and the movements of objects are stiff. The only exception to this is the CGI which looks bad anyways. The background images and the layout of scenes are basic, lazily done, and devoid of any real detail. Overall, the art is the most noticeable issue and something that you can notice from the onset. This problem is especially a fatal blow since the animation aspect is what defines this medium and makes it special. If an animated show like this one can't even execute this aspect properly, is it still an animation? If it's not an animation, why should we, as fans of animation, watch it? This is another reason why you should not waste your time on this show.
Ok, that was a mouthful. I'm tired. I'm just going to stop typing…
…
Ha! You thought wrong! I'm back with my conclusion! What is it, you ask?
Do not watch this! Everything about it is bad! Only watch it if you're an animation producer and want to know what to NOT do in your work. Or if you like torturing yourself.
