The story has a VERY odd start. Which seems to be the cause of many of the poor reviews. Yes the pacing is weird, and characters seem a little, everywhere... sometimes. But I've honestly been super interested in how the story has developed. There is a large cast so far and it has been an odd mix of supernatural (vampires, were-wolves and chaos demons), military, and political. Some episodes are devoted almost entirely to the interactions of a few political leaders and the maneuvering, betrayals and diplomacy that occurs, while others are focused around the military conquest. And some pretty bad-ass fight scenes!
The MC should not truly be considered MC's at this point, as the plot is driven by the much larger political world that Gancrest Senki is set in, and I've personally been really drawn into seeing how this world develops!
Another thing that this show does which i'm personally really liking is it is quite creative. Characters really begin to find their pacing and once the backstory for them is set their actions begin to make a lot of sense, even if the overall 'plot' is still being discovered.
I really would hate to see this show suffocate and die before it can even begin. Sure it may absolutely flop, that's very much within the realms of possibility. BUT there is also a chance that this could be a really incredible show. Some of the BEST animes EVER MADE have really hard to watch starts that are confusing and slow. Think FMA, Steins Gate, hell even Gintama is hard for a lot of people to get into.
TLDR:
IF YOU'RE UNSURE ABOUT THIS ANIME, WAIT TILL ITS FULLY RELEASED AND THEN BINGE WATCH IT.
