Story: 6/10
Story had potential, but the execution was something else altogether. It was intriguing in the first few episodes, but it seemed like the developers were throwing in random plot twists every now and then. And then another flashback. One character is introduced and then two episodes later is killed. The plot was completely bogus until the very end, where everything tied together and made sense. However, a lot of the background questions are still left unanswered: Who are the Kings? Why do they exist? How did they become Kings? Did they just randomly gain magic powers? Confusing.
Animation: 9/10
Animation was pretty good. Fight scenes were pretty intense. Some nice visuals and the backgrounds were also fairly intricate.
Characters: 8/10
Characters were actually decent, even though the plot was something else altogether. The MC is pretty annoying at first, he might seem like an air-head, but he has good intentions, so I'll give him that. Side characters also had some good character development, especially some of the HOMRA members.
Sound: 8/10
Soundtrack was good.
Voice characters were pretty believable, especially Mikoto's.
Enjoyment: 7/10
I actually hated this anime up until the very end. I hate watching characters going, "What? Huh?" and feeling the exact same way as them because you have absolutely no clue what is happening. The ending wrapped things up nicely, so I partially forgave the train-wreck of a plot.
