Story: 10 - While classic in nature, with its princesses, knights, and kingdom takeovers, it's also unique in its own special way. Interesting powers, situations, and creatures. Even though the general plot is actually quite dark, when it's not a moment for heavy emotions, the anime is actually fairly light hearted and comedic. The twists and backstabs are pretty good, if although sometimes predictable, however I was never not entertained.

Art: 9 - I've read around online that many people apparently didn't like this art style, however I actually really enjoyed it. Although I do think it could have been a little bit more polished in some spots, for the most part, it does its job very well, actions, scenery, and emotions, are all easily conveyed, with appropriate emphasis and impact.

Sound: 9 - It's usually pretty rare for me to like a full cast of any anime, but I actually really liked all the voices in this show, and the sound effects were pretty good too. Everything suited its purpose, and nothing really felt out of place.

Characters: 10 - The characters I think I enjoyed the most. This is very much a character driven anime, and although not everyone gets a backstory, I hope they continue this trend if the anime is granted a sequel. Each unique character has their own intensely personal and fleshed out personality, and it's so refreshing to not see blatant copy-paste stereotypes for everyone. I really enjoyed all the quirky behaviours and the motivations for each individual regardless of what side of the fight they were on. There is real emotional damage and insecurities for everyone involved, and it all make sense with regard to each characters personality and behaviours, which makes for a very well rounded cast.

Overall: 10 - Every moment of the show was a joy to watch, and that's what I love about it. A tell-tale sign of a great anime, is it being able to captivate you at every episode, and once I started watching this show, it was agony waiting and wanting to know what would happen next (even if you already thought you knew where it was going). As well as its emotional impact, I think a good anime also has to hold some kind of weight. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then why should you watch it? I think when an anime has pulled at your heart strings, or your intellectual curiosity, it has done something right.
