Even pushing aside the CGI, I found the whole thing to be a bit of a mess. The story was extremely simplistic, rushed, and full of tropes and stereotypes - I was able to predict all the major plot points long in advance.
I really wish they had done more with this, the setting was original and gave them so much to work with, but instead of writing complex characters and an interesting conflict they just sprinkled in a few common tropes, put a ribbon on it, and called it done. It ends up being a thin and pretty mindless action movie, but the CGI makes much of the combat difficult to follow - I had to keep rewinding and pausing to figure out what the show was trying to show me.
The characters were thin, the pacing was a mess, the story didn't seem to have many original elements beyond the setting.
Story 3/10 - bleurgh
Art 7/10 - the world was visually interesting to look at if you could ignore the janky CGI
Sound 6/10 - decent sound design, nothing that stood out either way, at times a bit too tropey
Characters 3/10 - bleurgh
Enjoyment 6/10
Overall 6/10
I think the biggest downside of this movie is that it is a mediocre way of likely spoiling good chunks of the manga, I kind of wish I hadn't watched this and had instead just read the manga.
