First things first. Don't you dare talk about this series if you didn't see until the last episode. It's not just about plot twists or anything, you simple don't know anything if you didn't saw. Story with no progress? Dense characters? I really want to spoil a ton of things to those who said those craps about this serie but i wont.
Ok it's my first review and i'm not fluent in english but i'll try to do a decent work here because I just can't stand people talking anything they want about this anime when they dropped after two episodes.
Story: 10/10
The problem here is
...
that I can't tell anything about the true story without spoil a lot of important things. I admit, i thought it was going to be about nothing more than a girl with a sword and tons of blood, and if you didn't see at least to ep. 10 you'll think that too. In the first episode you'll see Saya doing her routine, going to school, and in the last third of the ep she receive a sword from her father and is send to fight a monster. It's no just any fight, like you see in any shounen with background changes, a lot of useless conversation and lot of explosions and effects. No, it's like a real fight (if you don't mind the monster), you got fluid moviments, incredible sword techniques, i just can't explain, youtube it if you want to know.
Art: 10/10
It's beautifull, simple beautifull, backgrounds, characters, fights, everything. Too bad there is no lolis, but we can get over it because everything is so well done.
Sound: 8/10
Well, i don't really pay too much atention to sound, if the op or ed are too bad i'll just skip it. Nothing to talk about here.
Character: 7/10
Here is a problem. I know, the characters are just dense, stereotyped and don't show any progress. But again, if you say that you simple didn't see everything to the end. I can't say too much, in fact, I can't say anything, because you simple don't know anything until the end. But believe me, if you watch until the last episode, you'll understand that those dense and stereotyped characters fit their roles in the story and I can tell you that every single one of the characters is important, even those strange twins.
Enjoyment: 10/10
You may think it's painfull to watch an anime that just start to clear things after the tenth ep. But know what, i didn't even noticed it was already at the end when they started to reveal things. Each episode was so good that i still don't believe they all have 24 min, seriously, i don't remember how many times i've gone "Eh? End? Already? Seriously?". And hell, I could watch a full 200 ep of Saya fighting Elder Brains without getting tired. That's how increadible the whole thing seems to me.
Overall: 10/10
If you just watched two~three eps and are going to drop this anime, fine, you really, seriosly don't even start to having a clue of what you're losing. I know, if you just value plot over incredible fight scenes, waiting until the very end to know anything is just painfull. But believe me, it's worth enduring it (watch a girl covered in blood with a sword fighting giant monsters, painfull, really). Well, just try it. But please, if you didn't watch the whole thing, stop talking nosense, you just don't know anything abou the plot, seriously, absolutelly nothing.
