Afterlost started off very shaky initially and seemed all over the place. It was difficult keeping up with the story and names of characters. Frankly, I wasn't sold on the first episode or the few that followed it. It wasn't horrible, it was average is all.
The plot continually hopped all over the place throughout but by the 6th or 7th episode, I was able to keep up. But still, this made understanding the plot super confusing.
One of the greatest weaknesses was that majority of the characters were flat and static, which made it hard to connect with them as a viewer. I didn't mind the bad CGI in action scenes as much as I minded the one-dimensional characters.
The only scene that was done well was the scene about the two brothers, Tsubasa and Yoshiaki -- this, is what I believe to be the show's saving grace for me. For once, I FELT something while watching the series. I felt connected to a set of characters for once. And it seemed that following this scene, I felt for other characters along the way...but at this point, I was about 10/12 episodes in.
I'd say I enjoyed this anime nonetheless, so I give it a 7/10. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't phenomenal either.
