This is not a mystery anime. Despite what people say about this anime, it's is not a mystery anime. If I was judging this as a mystery anime, then it would get a 1, which is pretty disappointing because I really liked the idea of this anime. If this was a mystery anime, then they wouldn't have spent 3 episodes shoving the same backstory down our throats and waiting til the 4th episode to reveal the mystery. And then they wouldn't have spent 70% of the time after fighting instead of solving the mystery.

Story: 7
Honestly the story isn't bad. I liked the premise of it, but it was poorly executed. The first few episodes did nothing but shoved the backstory down our throats repeatedly, and after that basically came to a standstill where nothing happened but searching for clues.

Art: 6
The art isn't anything special, but it would have gotten a 7 if they didn't try to be so fancy with the camera. It felt like they did a lot of the camera animation just to prove that they could. For example, in the scene when the "braves" all gather for the first time, they are all in a circle and the camera in the center spinning around. That would make sense if everyone was talking, but only 2 people had anything to say, and it was rather nauseating to watch. But other than the camera work, the art was alright.

Sound: 6
The sound wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that memorable either. But I'm not much of an audiophile so I'll leave this part short.

Character: 5
There are seven total main character for this show for a 12 episode anime. You're only introduced to 4 before the 4th episode, which would be fine if there was any character development at all. There wasn't however, so I ended up not caring about any of them. After all the characters are introduced there is some character development, but only for the only interesting character in the show.

Enjoyment: 3
I didn't enjoy this anime much. I guessed the answer to the mystery on the 2nd episode, and tried to pick up clues for the rest of the anime implicating that character as the 7th "brave", but unfortunately there was only 1 clue that led to solving the mystery, and it was shown at the very end. So the anime was more frustrating to watch than it was enjoyable.

Overall: 3
If you spend any time at all thinking about who might be the 7 "brave" based on the fact that this is an anime and meant to entertain, then it's really easy to guess who the 7 "brave" is. The reveal was also disappointing, as there was nothing leading up to it and there was only 1 clue that was revealed at the end.

But as I said, this is not a mystery anime, so I judged it as an action anime. As an action anime it still wasn't very good though. The camera was poorly animated at times, the music wasn't very exceptional, and there was almost no character development to speak of.
