Because this is a CG anime, we should really talk about the CG of this anime. Finally, someone utilizes the CG to the camerawork of this anime and gives us the thrill of running through the beautiful night with Diamond, fighting Lunarians with Bort, or frightening tense while Diamond being chased by Shiro. Those scene would not be captured perfectly if they did not utilize CG technology. In the end, the CG in this anime made a perfect cinematography and an example of what CG anime do next.
Ah, soundtrack. I would say the soundtrack of this anime could come toe-to-toe with last year's Made in Abyss' soundtrack. They have this feeling build in the beginning, becoming more and more intense, ended with a perfect closing in every single of their tracks. The soundtrack is one that you should not miss.
The story itself was very outstanding with the character building that I would never forget. I never found myself cried because some character building but Houseki no Kuni successfully broke that and made me cry just because seeing how Phos growing each episode.
Overall, this anime is one anime that you should not miss. After I watching this anime, I have this large grin of accomplishment and wished for more. I was a bit disappointed with myself because I did not watch it when it was airing. Man, why did I not realize a great potential when it was airing?
