If I could fit the first description that comes into my head, it'd be "Fantasy that isn't isekai" because omg the fantasy genre has been dying from a glut of guilds, reincarnations, and tropes that are so overused they bore me to tears.
Like lets be real here, using the average tropes well all know and maybe love/hate, the average weeb on here could assemble a marketable isekai.
Bearing in mind that I've only read up ch 44 as of writing, this manga goes for the high fantasy route with lots of fantastical elements(like different races of humans), post apocalyptic hintings, combat and action. Of course
...
it still decides to have one of the mc has a godlike OP beast but the other mc being a slave that's dragged along is kinda funny.
PREMISE: Good
I think the premise is actually really strong for this manga has its unique and interesting.
PLOT: Good?
I very much enjoy that the story at least tries to follow a proper plot arc with exposition, inciting incident, rising action etc, its almost unbearable when stories can't do that so im quite happy to say this one passes buck here. I do think the amount of emotional play with the audience is quite weak however, for those of you confused on what I mean think Griffith betraying Guts or something, essentially how well a story can play with my emotions, which in my opinion is an essential element of good writing that would be nice to see more of here.
PLAUSIBILITY: find
Passes the vibe check. The power level of everyone feels very realistic when using clevatess as this immutable object to show they aren't overpowered. The magic and everything and be explained by stuff that maybe happened in the past.
ART: ?
Hard to rate because style preference its so subjective, but ill at least say that character design is different from the anime, and that the quality and consistency between chapters can fluctuate a little.
CHARACTERS: Good?
To be honest, I think the characters can use some work. For example Clevatess, I know he's supposed to be super OP and not understand humans at all, but based off the interactions he has, it feels like his lack of reaction to many situations and calmness at everything might be more of an indicator of lack of depth as opposed to intentional design. His whole character design feels underdeveloped, whether it be his personality(if this is intentional, there needs to be more of a purposeful effort to show he doesn't have much of one), his opinions and motivations(the author I think does best here), and backstory. To a lesser extent Alicia. That all being said, I want to applaud the author for having some there to begin with and doing a good job with developing Nel as a good side character and spending time to flesh out Alicia.
Character design: unique, checks out.
Love the idea of different human races inside of a world that already has others.
THEME: .....idk? hasn't become evident to me yet but we'll see if something develops. I reserve judgment.
CONFLICT: wish it was more clear from the get go, but its developing. it works
Overall, I think this manga is worth the read, it has quite the interesting world its building, that is worth the time to explore. However it'd be nice if the author fleshed the characters a bit more and kept Clevatess away from being a Mary Sue, as well as decided on a theme/conflict

This show is undoubtedly a masterpiece in its own way, its rich in character building, world building, plot, and so much more, there's quite a lot going on here, and its honestly on a whole different scale then many other shows avant grande style, buuttt, it has somewhat of a unique problem in that it starts off really strong, but degenerates into just plot. Like by episode 80 and especially 90 the show is such a drag, its just plot battles and plot intrigue and the animators appear to not know how to create suspense and tension any more, and it ends out as super
...
boring. Like this show is so weird in that it excels in many of the areas most shows are weak in and has the makings of something remarkable, its quite amazing at the beginning to, but that its a little unwatchable because of just how untensioned it becomes.
Overall:
Plot is peak 10/10
characters are complex with a variety of different emotions and perspectives that tear at them and are quite relatable and understandable 9/10
sound is aight
graphics are kinda bad but its from the 1980/90s so idk what one expects.
Theres quite a lot of other stuff that's either aight or good like editing or design, what really kills this is lack of tension and it fails to keep the same quality all the way through. If you watch, be prepared for a long haul

Forgive me for I review harshly, but this has the depth of a reel. If you want to just turn your brain off and watch something with a plot that's shallower then the average hentai, here you go, this is the anime your looking for.
In all seriousness though, this anime was a cool concept, a guy gets merked by a dragon and comes back to life as a skeleton when all the adventurers want to kill him. However this reeks of something that either wasn't thought all the way through by the writer or got rushed out by the production studio.
Besides having odd classical music
...
they ripped off something else and a terrible low detail, very basic, characters and minimal camera angles and shading, this show lacks any meaningful elements. After dying, brother immediately figures out he needs to kill monsters to upgrade and starts collecting monster parts to turn into cash for later use, turning this into every other guild/fantasy looking isekai ever, and he spends so much time narrating himself. For example he talks about how awful it is a skeleton and how he was bullied for not being a good adventurer, however that isn't illustrated anywhere in the first few episodes, which is quite boring, its mostly just monologue because there's a lack of good animation, and its a little hard to believe since he's literally stronger as a ghoul/skeleton.
Another thing, the anime tries to say he's weaker as a skeleton because he lacks muscles and all that, which sounds legit, then he murders a couple other skeletons and suddenly he's much stronger then he was as a human, which isn't explained very well. Why is being dead better for leveling up? No idea. He spends 20 years training and has struggled to get where he's at as a human, then it just overwrites it and makes it seem useless by leveling him up in a day as a skeleton, and then the continues with the random powerups. Its pretty clear by following where the plot is going that he will become as strong as a mithril class adventurer and just troll people by looking weak but being strong.
Also the characters, aren't anything unique. Besides lacking an interesting look to them, they also act like every other isekai character ever, despite this not being an isekai per se. Our mc literally manages to convince some young women in a gave, as a creepy ass corpse, that he's actually a good guy and she should follow him around and do what he says, in about 2 seconds, removing any sense of struggle and making the human recoil against watching a creepy corpse come at you somewhat of a joke.
There also isn't any tension in the show, there's nominally the problem that he's a corpse, but they don't lean into it or elaborate on how its a problem at all, and then he just starts doing his own stuff. Which, if one can see where this is eventually going, aka he becomes a vampire that's crazy op, it means this show lacks an effective central problem the characters need to work towards.
Overall, the plot lacks some of the most basic, well established elements of plot, making this show almost indistinguishable from any other random isekai. The animation is rudimentary, there's nothing interesting in the sound, lighting or angles. The characters feel as basic, if not more so, then someone like Kirito or Sung jin woo, and much of the information of the anime is relayed via ineffective 4th wall breaks that make the show quite boring to watch.
Personally I'd rate this a 2 but for most people this is likely a 3. Just don't expect this to be much more then background noise.

To start, I loved the opening. The plot and story were strong and there used very nice and creative ways to introduce the characters and characterize them. Overall the opening had a lot of really nice cool stuff going for it from tension, to plot, to character design, to sound. However this anime really starts breaking down in terms of plot and plausibility as the show goes on. Somehow we turn from two teenage terrorist ideologues, who's goal we don't understand, committing bombings, too somehow the Americans and Japanese are bombing themselves in an attempt to flush out the terrorists by getting them to disarm
...
the bombs. Yeah, my thoughts too, doesn't make sense. And their friend 5 feels like a cheap ploy to create a villain by just tossing a maniacal madman in halfway through, although her and the absurd level of intelligence from that one detective become the only things pushing the plot forward. Overall has a lot of good qualities that every anime should strive for, but ends up feeling like smashed its own head into a pillar with some strange plot choices and lack of good villains. Solid 7

Ya'll hate on this anime way too hard, sure it has some issues, but overall its pretty good and worth the watch.
There are two things that seem to bug watchers. First, the most glaring problem for most watchers is glimpsing the 10/10 master piece this show looked like it was shaping up to in the first 2-3 episodes, but then gets fumbled as the show continues, and 2nd is the lack of a Manga. 7/10 show
This is arguably the most important part that I care about and has a few pieces to it. This show is undeniably unique in special in the way it phenomenal
...
way it handles the music and characters of Takt and Destiny, it is so good. And the character designs are really good. Music is a super big part of this show and it is quite masterfully woven into the show to both enhance and deepen the experience, in fact the music by itself is good enough to listen to on its own. The Characters of Takt and Destiny are also so detailed, relatable and deep, and both experience tangible change throughout the show. Also the character design of everyone in this anime is amazing, especially Destiny but everyone is quite unique and interesting.
However this anime lacks any sort of vision and that is the biggest downfall of this show. Its pretty obvious based off the terrible villains, weird pacing, and unknown direction of the show that there isn't a real vision here. Theres no manga to draw from so the publishers had to come up with it themselves and its quite obvious they don't quite know what they want despite the cool premise idea. What this translates into is awful villains that lack any depth or meaning, and honestly we don't even understand what they're trying to accomplish. The pacing is also so out of wack, the first 3 episodes have very fast engaging action style pacing like one would expect out of Psycho-Pass or HunterxHunter, but then switchs up into a slice of life stand alone episode feel like Cowboy bebop then switchs again for the final arc. Its quite off putting. And finally, what the hell is this show even supposed to be? Its hard to decide if this was meant to be an episodic vibey trip across America, a succinct, fast paced epic quest to save the world, or the emotional and deep bid to save Takt and Destiny from their terrible fate and/or potentially bring Cossette back.
Then there's the 2nd point that a lot of people seem to have a problem with, the lack of a manga and corporate involvement in this anime. To be clear, very few people care that there isn't a manga, the problem is that its obvious the show was made by a company for the sole purpose of making money off the fans, the shows lack of vision coupled with amazing graphics and sound from big name companies doesn't help that either. To see a really good and entertaining example of what I'm talking about go read the comment by 'SingleH'
But to be honest, I could care less. Sure some companies invented a new anime out of thin air to make money, but hey, if a shows good its good. At the end of the day, most manga, and most things in this world were made for the sole purpose to benefit the creator. What matters to me is how much I enjoyed it.
Overall all, amazing anime in so many ways, but suffers from some quite glaring issues that are hard to overlook.
If anyone wants to know how or why I rated the show the way I did, I left my personal rating system at the bottom
Sound 1/1-
Soundtrack .5/.5: One of the major unique points of this show is how involved and amazing the music is. Its truly a feast for the ears that's good enough to listen to independently of the show.
Music use.5/.5: They know when and how to use the music to increase the experience and enhance it.
Editing .6/1-
Pacing .2/.5 : For the first 3 episodes the pacing is amazing and really helps to keep the watcher engaged and in suspense. However past episode 3 the pacing entirely switch to a slower slice of life pace until it switch again for the final arc. Definitely off-putting and one of the bigger problems this show had.
Production quality .4/.5: Not just the super bright and plain isekai style. Quite clean. Not as original as it could be
Plot .8/1-
Story arc .4/.5: The writers understand how to make a story arc, nothing too crazy.
Plausibility .4/.5: Remember plausibility is not rationality. The show is plausible throughout and there's not any points in the show where a breach of the internal logic will jolt one out of the experience. There are a few times when I feel the characters are a bit dumb for failing to notice or do something. Biggest breach of this would be in the Orpheus battle scene when she lets Orpheus regenerate
Attraction .9/1-
Premise.5/.5: Entirely unique and decently interesting premise
Entertainment value .4/.5: I felt decently entertained throughout.
Theme 0.2/1-
Identity .1/5: Not necessary to make a great show, but its necessary to make a show a masterpiece.
Depth .1/.5: Theres no depth to any potential deeper meaning.
Characters .6/1-
Character Identity .3/.5: Disregarding all the side characters who are all varying degrees of mid-ness meant to just enhance the mains. Takt and Destiny have phenomenal character builds. The big downfall of this shows characters are the villains. There is literally nothing to these villains and its actually noticeable enough that it even bugs one while watching the show. We don't understand what the villains why the villains do what they do, there is an attempt made however, we don't really get the villains personality because there is little depth, and we don't even know what the villains are actually trying to accomplish.
Performance .4/.5: Both are quite relatable, grow, change, do people stuff and are quite good. The exception to this are the villains
Dialogue .7/1-
Storytelling .3/.5: This show does a pretty good job at having meaningful dialogue that contributes to the viewers understanding of the plot, world, and characters as opposed to some that just have useless stupid dialogue.
Context .4/.5: Everything fits in the world like its supposed to. What the characters say makes sense and sticks true to the world they live in.
Cinematography .9/1-
Shots .4/.5: This show makes good use of shots to create better action sequences and watchable pieces. Best example of this is the battle sequence in episode 3.
Creativeness .5/.5: The character outfits and design are top tier. The fact that anyone can call destiny waifu bait without sexualizing her means the designers get an A+ for this.
Directing .6/1 -
Vision .1/.5: Vision is what the directer or architect wants the audience to see in the show. And this is really the overall downfall of Takt op Destiny, nothing else in my opinion. Whoever made this show wasn't sure what they were trying to create. They had all the talent and resources needed to make this show excel, but weren't sure what it should look like. The sudden jarring switch between fast action pieces and a fast engaging pacing in the first 3 episodes to the sudden slow slice of life switch in the middle is clear evidence of that. What was this show even supposed to be? A Cowboy bebop style story that follows their trip across America? An action piece about saving the world? Or something else?
Execution .5/.5: Theres nothing wrong with the execution of the directing, its pretty good for what its trying to do.
Unique epic ness of the story .7/1-
Unique .5.5: No doubt about it
The it factor .2/.5: That unexplainable feeling that something is amazing and makes a thrill run up your spine that leaves you feeling emotions after watching it and makes one genuinely think about their own life.
