Mixed Feelings
TLDR: If they focused more effort into the supporting cast, and world building instead of shoving a romance that goes nowhere down my throat it might have been pretty damn good.

Story: Had potential but the way they did it didn't sit right with me. 99% of the time I'm against spoilers...But, THIS ANIME SPOILS IT'S OWN ENDING in the first 40 seconds of the show...The whole time they try to get you invested in the female lead when we know what happens to her. There is romance between two of the main characters, that I felt was really contrived. The writer didn't let the romance blossom and grow over time. From episode one I knew the writer would do whatever it takes to get them together. He tried so hard, their relationship came off really forced to me. Now the ending is really bad, you can have sad endings that are still good. This one is sad and terrible. We knew what was going to happen to one of the main characters, and two others just disappear. Really unsatisfying. 4/10

Art: It's slightly above average but the blood looks really good. 7/10

Sound: The music was good it fit the scenes and sounded nice. Some of the tracks really made the emotions of certain characters pop. The sound effects were average. A couple times I heard some of the stock one piece sound effects. (Not necessarily a bad thing) 8/10

Characters: Most of the interesting characters get barely any screen time, the main cast is okay, but our female lead is really boring to me. I felt bad for her but that's about it. 5/10

Enjoyment: There are honestly some scenes that were fun to watch, but I was never really invested in what was going on half the time. At times i'd even go as far as to say I was bored. 4/10

If it got a season 2 that fixed all the problems I had maybe I could like this series, but with just this season ...I don't think so. TBH I don't even understand how this anime is even ranked in the top 1,000's. Reading other peoples reviews and seeing so many 9, and 10's really blew me away after seeing it for myself.
