Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (6/24 eps)
[Note: I got bored a few minutes into episode 7, haven't watched since then] The idea was interesting at first, wondering what was causing people to turn into (had to look up what they were even called here) Infernals. Then it just barely touched that plot point before I got bored with it. You shouldn't ignore your main plot point that attracted most people to your anime in the first place, people will get bored waiting for you to actually further the plot.

My next issue with this anime is with the characters, more specifically their personalities. I don't know about everyone else, but usually there are one or two characters that I can relate to on some personal level, and those characters become a reason that you stick around for the rest of it. This anime doesn't have that anywhere. I thought that character was going to be Arthur, I was starting to like his character. I started waiting for some good character development for anyone, or something that would show that they have a personality behind their stereotype, but nothing. If the characters do receive character development I would be more than happy to write more positively about this anime.

My last complaint before I actually get to the positives is the cringeworthy amounts of fanservice. I know, I know, that's the only reason that some people watch anime and they need to keep those people happy with girls being grabbed for no reason with little to no resistance. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind fanservice when it is done tastefully, or spread out enough that it's not one of the reasons you stop watching. It's just really cringey trying to watch it and it's just a dude grabbing a girl's breast for like 5 minutes instead of the anime doing something actually interesting.

Now the positives:

The animation is very well done. Not on the level of anime like Kimetsu no Yaiba, made by ufotable, but the animation is very well done. I did feel pretty excited during fight scenes. Keep it up in this section, you're doing very well.

The music, especially the op and ed are also very good. The opening makes the listener excited for the episode. The ED, even though it is full of spoilers, is very nice as well. My only complaint about it is that because they animated spoilers to use for their ed long before that plot point even happened, nobody that was paying attention was even surprised by that.

Conclusion

This anime isn't inherently bad, it just needs to come back to what made it interesting in the first place, which was the plot of finding out what was causing people to turn into Infernals. Tone it back on the "fanservice" a bit and a lot of the viewers who were turned off by that might come back. If the characters had more relatable or likable personalities that would help it out too. Really, I just want personalities deeper than "I want to be a hero" "I'm a knight" "I'm a cat girl" "I'm a nun" etc. Give the side characters (you know which ones) personalities too while you're at it. That will make this anime almost perfect.

Score: 5/10
