What is going on with the pacing of this? Seriously, they are either going too fast or going too slow. First 3 episodes were slow without any discussion or any explanation of the events happening. Episode 4 comes out, everything starts going way too fast, nothing makes sense, there's no correlation nor coherence between each scene. As far as this went, the story was everywhere, with a touch of a generic show, but it's not a surprise.
This show is perfect for those who ask they want action in each scene, because all we see is them having a war with barely to any explanation of what's going on. All of this accompanied with weird and sloppy main characters that can't make a single strategy for the sake of their objectives.
The art department is not good, but not bad either. For some reason, they are using way too much CGI for a 2d anime. I understand they want to use cgi for large scale fights, but in this case they don't even try to hide it. The fights we see are just generic ones between knights and mages, althought most action scenes between the characters of interest were good. The design of the characters resemble the ones introduced in the novel, which is something remarkable.
I had to torture myself for the sake of the review and watch up to episode 7, but couldn't handle it after that. They aren't doing anything with the story, just introducing new wars between factions, introducing new characters, they don't explain anything, there isn't a single backstory or any sign of development, this series has 24 episodes, but the way it's going every episode is going to be the same, and i'm not up for that. dropperino
