This was particularly frustrating as i really liked the story, is engaging, and has all the right ingredients for an entertaining watch.
Except that the story is completely overshadowed by:
1) Horrific cgi animation, really, really bad one at that. It made me want to drop this many times, i just kept going as i was told it would get better but, honestly, did not.
2) One of the worst voice acting i have ever come across, (I watched the dub version, maybe the sub is better).
The voice acting was atrocious, and most dialogues were cringe worthy. Most of the time felt like characters were reading off a bad script with no acting or emotion behind it.
3) Missed opportunity to proper develop characters that had potential to be great. It was just like bad acting, it did not take the audience with it. They lack depth, even with sad back-stories or thrilling scenes, they fail to really engage with the viewer.
When you watch an anime this long, you get really invested in the characters and the story, and feel all the roller-coaster emotions, but it just did not happened here.
So, even if the story was good, the anime did not deliver on it. The over-relied on the story to carry the anime and that was not quite enough.
I wanted to like this, and wanted to score it higher but i’m afraid that it was just pretty average, not sure i will carry on watching the other seasons...
I hope someone would take this and do a proper remake to do the story justice
