DON'T WATCH THIS SHOW!.. It's just a heap of anime cliches. The story starts with a survival game, with lot of super power, magic, martial arts, later only to become a high school anime hinting the 'friends are everything' vibe. Everything moves in a blink of an eye. There is no reasoning, just presentation. Well that is indeed film making, i get it, but that's not good story telling!! There is a faint line between 'no brain' anime and 'dumpster fire' anime, and this has neither traits. What we get here is a show made for milking cash via manga sales from new and inexperienced audience by making them believe this is something great while this just a cliche pack and nothing more.
Art 4/10:
Very poor. Its like they expect the their cliche pack to balance out the lack of detail and animation. They even went for saving some cash by making very little OP and ED animation. Congratulations! Yet, the fight scene are done okay and some compositions are indeed good. Its like they did make an effort, but like its too low. Or was it all planned? I don't care anymore.
Sound 5/10:
I have to give respect where its due. The OP and ED are very good to listen. Its just disappointing it got paired with this show. The voice acting is very good, especially Nobuhiko Okamoto voicing Khun and Youko Hikasa voicing Yuri. Absence of audio effects and ost at some scenes were very disappointing.
Character 1/10:
The innocent, the joker, the serious, the smart, the all muscle no brains, the cool, the sexy. the loli, etc. In short, there is literally all types of typical anime characters in this show. It's really good, but it feels like an excuse for poor story telling in this show.
Enjoyment 2/10:
I felt so disturbed after episode 4 that i skipped ahead 5 sec every often. Towards the end i felt like this show robed me of my time. I didn't drop this show midway only because a friend suggested the ending is very promising, which i think is the only, and that too at the slightest degree, the only interesting part of the whole show. That ending made me give this show a 3/10 instead of a 2/10.
Overall: 3/10
I hope this review was helpful and either made you watch this show or skip it. Have a great day! :D
