First things first the animation and art quality, while passable is nothing special. While it's reminiscent of Devilman Crybaby's simplistic style it doesn't really have any of it's flair. While nothing sticks out too much, still frames are overused, and for being an action series is less than optimal.
I've given a lot of criticism, so I have to give it to the show for it's soundtrack. While no track in specific sticks out, the soundtracks are appropriate with a good mix of orchestral, lofi electronic and even some fusion Jazz. This may be the one silver lining of watching this anime.
Don't even get me started on the story or characters. The characters seem like knockoff Hunter X Hunter characters, and the story is a weird mashup of ideas from it as well. I fail to see any excitement around what the characters are doing and why. This fails to give any sense of mystery all the while obscuring the direction the show is taking, leaving the watcher feeling that the show is directionless. The main character lacks any personality or motivation besides "Rachel", and even makes your standard Kirito protagonist look good by comparison. While the side characters are quirky, they lack any personality besides surface level archetypes.
As of now there are 7 episodes out (more than half of the season done), and I have yet to find a reason to care about the tower or any of the characters (besides MAYBE Anak) for that matter (why does the MC even care for Rachel in the first place, don't tell me I have to wait until the second half of the story to get a simple explanation).
I will update this review as the episodes are continually updated, but from how it's going currently, I doubt it will change much.
