Plot
The plot of this anime is about two saboteurs that are now living civilian lives after fighting in the Great War. The main protagonist has find little motivation to do civilian work, so now he lives like a bum, while his brother-loving sister does all the work. A girl named Chaika comes into town, and she needs help in carrying out a mission. The two saboteurs go with this girl on her mission. As they traveled, they witness many people who were warriors during the great war, but now find their skills useless during peacetime.
Characters
The characters in the series can be a little stale, often their personalities are one dimensional. You get characters like the incentrous sister, a character who wants to fight, and the one word speaking Chaika. I found the enemy captain trying to capture Chaika’s to be the most interesting since he questions of what he is doing correct
Art
I found the animation to be average, a little underwhelming. The studio Bones has currently has three anime they are doing concurrently this Spring anime season including this one, and it seems that Chaika got the short end of the stick when it comes to animation budget. Even though the animation could be a little better, the action scenes were fairly consistent and the animation was doable. The best part of the animation is the sudden scenes of violence.
Sound
I found the opening to be a little bit uninspiring, but the Ending song was a little bit better. The background music was fairly consistent when switching from action to leisure.
Enjoyment
In all, I found the show enjoyable. The beginning of the show can be a little slow, but as time passes on the show gets better and better. Also the show is simple enough for that it does not have any useless side-plots. The show ends pretty dramatically at the end, and I cannot wait for season 2.
