Mixed Feelings
Looking for something mindless? Yes, here's Holy Knight. "It's ooo-kay!"

Story, 6 -Fair
I found the story satisfying. Not at all challenging to follow, but entertaining enough to keep you going through two simple episodes. I wouldn't say this is a series to get real invested in, more like a casual show that I'll forget about soon. It moves at a reasonable pace for two episodes. The plot doesn't stall unnecessarily. The script is decent, though some of the lines made me feel vaguely uncomfortable. It leaves off with room for more episodes, but, for me, with enough of a conclusion to be content with not watching any more.

Art, 6 -Fair
The characters all have distinctive designs. I enjoyed the animation, and found it bright and fluid and energetic. None of the actions are awkward, though limbs sometimes got disproportioned. The brief action scene with Shinta is ridiculous though.

Sound, 6 -Fair
I watched the English dubbed version. I wouldn't say I loved the voices, but they still suited nicely and were hugely influential in making the characters individuals. The soundtrack isn't something I would scour the internet searching for download links. However since it was just two episodes, I listened to both opening and ending straight through. Thinking "it's only two episodes" made the series especially bearable.

Character, 5 -Mediocre
Nothing particularly loveable here, although I did sympathize with Lilith. However the cast was made up of mediocre characters that were essentially tools to carry out the plot. Wasn't really expecting much else.

So overall I rate it a 5. Since I didn't have high expectations to begin with, I wasn't let down.
Thanks for reading!
