I don't consider myself a short anime expert (I've only seen Hetalia, Teekyuu, Danchigai, and Pupa in the genre) but I have been binging some lately and this is a rare find. There's something charming about it that other shows seem to lack.
The story is good, to begin with. Each episode is not it's own crack episode: there is a storyline (however vague and loosely connected) and there is a large cast of characters with different relationships to the plot. I found that interesting. On top of that, it honestly has a better plot than a lot of serious anime that I've seen.
The art is pretty good, especially considering the (probably) low budget and the terrible animation and art that most short animes tend to have. It's by no means intricate, but it even makes the art part of the joke.
The characters, while very crazy, have actual personalities. Even if they seem like parodies of characters, they truly seem to have motivations and goals and defining traits that make this anime quite refreshing.
I enjoyed this a lot!
I would recommend this if you: like medieval stuff, like quests, like crack fiction, liked Akatsuki no Yona and wanted a kinda parody version of it, like sadistic or questionable characters, like stupidity, liked Teekyuu
I would NOT recommend this if you: want something serious, wanted something heartfelt, were looking for a legitimate journey of some sort, wanted something deep, cannot tolerate subtle and frequent jokes about lowkey pedophilic people
Have a great day everyone!
