If it were not for the poor animation quality and voice acting, I would be far more impressed with this anime. Now, I've never read the source material and I've heard this adaptation isn't very faithful to it, but even so, I found the story and the characters to be very compelling, to the point where I consumed all of it in a day without intending to. Needless to say, despite the poor quality of the animation and sounds themselves (all of the sound effects didn't sound right, a lot of movements were clunky or had no transition and I could sometimes spot unfinished frames ... in the animation, not to mention the art was inconsistent and the colors don't mesh nor blend), I found myself invested in the lives of the two main characters, as well as two characters whom we meet later on. The character designs are also beautiful, and I feel like they put a lot of effort into making specifically three characters especially beautiful in almost every frame.
This is a Chinese anime by Tencent though, they're not a big experienced company in animation, so I'll cut them some slack for that. I wouldn't be surprised if this was their second, third, or even first project. (And from the glimpse I caught, the animation and art improves in season two anyway.)
