What is Isuca actually? Honestly, after watching 5 episodes, no idea yet!
I did enjoy watching the first few episodes, specifically 1 - 3, whereas 4 started to get weird and a bit annoying due to clichés and whatnot.
Story - 1
Because the score itself says "pathetic" which I couldn't agree more, not only did it fail to convey a story in half it's story line, having folklore creatures and having characters does not count as a story. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece nor a pure story driven anime but this was just painful.
Art - 8
This was the better part of this anime, I found spots that
...
were not exceptional but it was overall enjoyable to watch, I mean excluding the fan service, it was a good eye candy at parts. But also made me wonder what were the directors, artists and animators focused on. A given example of good art was the ending, felt really high quality and sharp, plus the heroine looks hotter then in the real show.
Sound -7
There were no noticeable aspects regarding sounds, it was not great but it wasn't bad at all either, if I would have to choose I would put it on the better side, it was pleasurable to see the animations being in sync with the sound.
Character - 1
Again, pathetic, no character depth at all but the occasional flashbacks which has no relation to their personalities at all, at least that's what it appears to me. As scenes went on the sociable aspect between characters felt stiff and forced, doesn't feel like they even tried and just went for anything ecchi.
Enjoyment - 5
I can't give it a really bad score because sadly I did enjoy some portions of it and mediocre describes my feelings toward it accurately. The only enjoyable parts were mainly the art, sound and the Ending, also a bit of ecchi here and there, but if it wasn't for the story I would've liked this anime.
Overall - 3
Even with a score of 3 overall I still feel like being generous but honestly if you want to watch it I would advice you to get ready to grit your teeth in frustration and the rage of wanting to stop watching it midway.
Would I recommend this anime? Yeah sure, why not? You surely will find some parts of it that you will enjoy but be warned that there's a really heavy negative side to this work, story and characters. Hope you enjoyed reading this review and that it helped :)
