[Story] -- 5: Mediocre
Speaking of the plot, as I mentioned before, I had a hard time following it after a few episodes. There were so many plot holes and so many questions left unanswered. If the anime had gone more into the sci-fi genre, instead of delving into the shitty characters, a lot of the questions may have been explored and even answered. That would have left us with a greater understanding of the anisotropic.
[Characters] [Spoilers] -- 2: Dreadful
The characters were atrocious in this anime. The crazy scientist girl was literally there because 'plot convenience.' The creator[s] never even considered giving her any development as a character. Then we have that guy who's a part of the media - again, plot convenience. They were only there to spread the Sansa - they merely existed for the Sansa and that's pretty much it. Then we have Hanamori and Saraka. I don't even know why Hanamori is there. He got so little screen time, that I'm surprised I still remember his name. Saraka is also there for the plot convenience. Like, Shindo got to know that girl for like a few days, and then they fall in love? This bullshit romance between Saraka and Shindo resulting in the disgusting ending, which gives me more reasons to hate Saraka. She became a main character in fucking 3 episodes. She is most definitely the worst of all the characters. Then we have zaShunina, who is lovable and is comparable to a child who is still understanding the ways of the world. Then they just HAD to make zaShunina the bad guy. You have no idea how big of a mistake that was. The anime could have gone in SO many directions! We could have seen much more. This type of anime doesn't need a bad guy to continue the story. There were already many options from the start. What if Shindo had agreed to go to the anisotropic with zaShunina? What if there was a different objective or a different "right answer?" What if the Wams were actually distributed to the other countries? What if the Sansa did not have it's same effect through the television and the only way was for one to see it for him/herself in real life? The anime could have explored all sorts of questions, and I bet there are more.
[Art] -- 7: Good
Oh no! It is 3-D animation, the enemy of anime! Honestly, that's what I thought at first as well. However, I got used to it after a few episodes, and I must admit, the visuals were pretty nice. But even after watching Seikaisuru Kado, I still dislike the appearance of 3-D animation in anime...
[Sound] 7: Good
Nothing much to say here. The voice actors did a great job, and the OSTs were average. Not the best, not the worst. (Did not mention the opening/ending because I did not listen to them.)
[Enjoyment] 4: Decent
I did look forward to each episode, whether it be because I was legitimately looking forward to the episode or because I was looking forward to shitting on it.
[Overall] 5: Mediocre
It's meh. Just another anime with great potential gone wrong. Adding everything up, it's just average. Nothing too special.
[SHOULD YOU WATCH?]
No. Unless you're a sucker for forced romance and sci-fi anime gone wrong.
