Mixed Feelings
Overall this wasn't anything special for an anime and it was only really redeeming to watch thanks to the story in the last few episodes.

Ecchi:
If you're watching this for the mild nudity ecchi then you will be sorely disappointed. There were very few ecchi scenes and they only happened in the first half of the season. Other than those few scenes, there was no real fanservice, not even a single jiggle. On the opposite side, if you hate ecchi, then this tag shouldn't cause you any trouble other than the very few scenes of randomly showing breasts.

Story:
The plot twists with the past were pretty decent and the politics in the matter made plenty of sense. The story was probably the best part of the show that actually made it enjoyable.

Art:
The combat animations seemed strange and wonky at times and didn't feel very natural. Combat was slow, short, and not too entertaining. At times the mouth movements were very chompy when talking (at least for the dub).

Sound:
The volume levels were pretty bad especially in the first episode. Character voices don't stand over the background sounds or music making the characters harder to listen to. On the bright side there was one pretty decent song in the soundtrack that had an epic fantasy vibe.

Character:
The 2 major main characters got on my nerves more often than I'd liked throughout the story. They're both bratty, rude, and senseless towards each other. I never ended up liking Cecily but the blacksmith Luke did become more enjoyable after his backstory was revealed. Lily was adorable.

Enjoyment:
I enjoyed this enough to keep myself occupied with my time. The story again is what kept it interesting and entertaining enough for me to warrant finishing the show.

Overall:
It's not a terrible anime by any means but it's just not anything special either.
