When it comes to me and anime a 4 and under is something I dropped, and this was a painful slog from about halfway through.
The story is a mess, incoherent and disjointed being snapped all over the place with no flow. They try to glue it together with generic "lol so funny" or "oh so srs for reelz" characters. It just falls flat. You got your opener 2 part episode that seems o be going somewhere, then its over and we are handed another 2 parter where the lead female (himea) needs to confront the imaginary friends she made in her time confined in that cube thing from the previous 2 parter. the rest just goes down hill fast from an already luke warm start.... so I just gave it the wash and at the end a 1 was all it deserved. Unlikely to get a sequel.
All suspense is taken from our male leads (taito.... or taito taito taito ad nauseam from our wimpering female lead) ability to regenerate 5-6 times every 15 minutes..... I cannot even rightly recall because it is so inconsequential.... because he just dies like 5 times in 10 seconds then ~contrivance~ he makes it to the next regen interval. Rinse repeat.
Our main female (himea or HIMEEEAGHHH as you will soon dread the male lead yelling her name SHUT UP kay thanks), is apparently super powerful or god damned pathetically weak and useless depending on how you look at it. She apparently has almost no power left, but is "supposedly" still super capable, but is always the damsel or sitting in the corner doing squat.
The rest are a slapdash mess of: "comedy" (if you want to label what she does comedy) nekomimi type who flashes her panties in every scene, a "im serious and powerful oh wait i just got a pole up my ass" jerk male character, a "childhood friend" (every school romance needs one?) who is there for one thing and that's it, spoiling it would spoil one of the later arcs and the entire use of the character, tomboy with candy in mouth female.... and others that are jut as useless and inconsequential.
the art is fine, all the female characters have a sort of two tone hair scheme going on, one color up top, another near the tips... and himea has this glowey orb stuff that is never questioned "because anime".... I actually do not like this style of character design... maybe im too old. You know the bobble head females (big head but mall everything else) but sensibly proportioned males? Anyways it is passable and fluid at most times.
sound is fine, again there is nothing to really take home here.
this is the first anime in a while that i felt was a total waste of my time (that i finished)
