The Missing 8

Story & Characters -
To be honest there isn't much to say about the story. It's a pretty nice & simple concept. Really liked it! The characters are pretty cool too! One main problem with these indie animes is that all the characters seem to be kind of the same! So, it becomes very hard to follow them or their path. But, in this case both the characteristics and the designs are very distinctive! So, the emotions the they convey feels very natural and understandable!

Art & Animation -
If I need to say only one word about the art then it is - Gorgeous!
Well, it's ... not really surprising though! The name Wit Studio, that's enough! One of the reasons that I watched this anime was definitely because of the background arts! The art really helps the anime in it's worldbuilding! Which I will talk about in a minute.

About the animation, I'd say it's efficient. Which is a very good thing! It's a indie project so of course they had a limited quote-unquote budget. So, it's very nice to see them using the animation efficiently! The last two episodes which is basically the climax of the show the animation is at it's absolute best! (Keeping the budget in mind of course)

Worldbuilding -
The anime does a great job in it's worldbuilding. Which is my most favourite thing about this show! As I said earlier the gorgeous background arts add live to it's world! But, also the characters and different creatures of this world keep you eagerly waiting to know more about it! The creator did a magnificent job there!

Music -
The music was pretty good! I really liked it.

Overall -
Not just as of being a indie project, it generally does a great job. A nice, short show with a good story and music. Along with great characters & amazing worldbuilding and art!

At the time of writing this show has 3 episodes out which are available on YouTube.

Firstly , I would like to praise the amazing background art and the VA's. The backgrounds really give off the vibe of a other wordly world in a dystopian state while the VA's add this depth to the emotions of the characters.
What really captured my attention was this mystery surrounding the robots and the " humans " .

Without spoling much , I can safely say that every minute is utilized to its fullest to tell a fullfilling story adding to the lore and answering some of our questions ... while also making us question more about the past of the robots.

The only downside I might have is the lack of animated frames but for me I rather am okay with it .

This review is ofcourse subjected to change once I finish the show.
