Beautiful backgrounds, simplistic yet nice character style, likeable characters. The story tackles difficult themes (e.g. value of life, emotional baggage) but is rushing the first episodes. Plus for the music. Establishment of the (fantasy) setting feels forced on many spots, could have been made a lot better by simply SHOWING what happens instead of narrating every little bit WITH THE CHARACTERS like the viewer is a total idiot and doesn't understand anything by watching. If you are a lazy storyteller, the budget doesn't allow it or sth. and you NEED to explain things, use text or off-voice. Characters who've lived in the same spot for their whole lives don't go around telling each other how THEIR world works - there are so many ways to show all of that visually. So yeah, I wish they'd have spent one more episode for introduction/establishing. It would have been SO MUCH BETTER!
Conclusion: Watch if you like to see beautiful, detailed, painting-esque worlds, if you are okay with heavy themes and graphic violence and storytelling flaws.
