The story did a great job sharing what would happen if medieval weaponry met current weaponry, but that very creativity is the story's downfall. My only enjoyment in this came from the fact that there were elves, gods and magic in a medieval setting coupled with the idea that I could imagine myself there fairly easily, that aside it was dreadfully boring. Even when they went into politics it was far too straightforward. The story was sapped by the sole fact that the whole story was one sided. Basically nothing happened throughout the entire story. "Shit, badguys. Shoot your gun... Oh, they're dead and we didn't lose anyone" rinse and repeat. I'm looking into the light novel with hopes that it's better than the anime and gets more detailed. Magic looks like it has great potential to be competition against Japan's military and there might be fights with other countries from earth.
