MMORPG, Blade and Soul. Upon watching the anime for the first time, the episode kind of clicked with me but the later episode just feels like chewing a flavorless piece of gum for hours but I was interested of what will happen next to the emotionless character. Speaking of emotionless character, I don't particularly hate the anime for having an emotionless main character because she's a heartless assassin with a tragic past (how many times have we heard of this trope before?). What I hate about this anime is that it was unnecessary to be made because the story in the game was more well elaborated rather than a rushed 10+ episode story. I also find it funny that the main character speaks LESS than the side character, seriously! I think if you were to add ALL of the dialogue choices in the game (because you are mainly a silent protagonist), you'll have a longer script than the main character in the anime. As for animation goes, it was meh. In some scenes, the fire were so bland and texture-less that ANYONE can tell the problem with the fire right away even if they have watched one or two anime in their life. The opening theme song was pretty catchy and it fits the whole atmosphere and setting with the anime. What I found distasteful of the anime is that through out the story, the main character goes through her journey and learning how to become a better person and speaking more as a result but later was ruined by a distasteful generic anime beach episode solely for fan service. The animation team COULD HAVE removed the last episode budget to give their fire a little more texture (if you know what I mean). Do I recommend the anime? No, absolutely not.
