Story: It felt way too rushed. I don't understand why they didn't just make a 20 minute episode instead of creating a 8 minute episode if they are going to make 51 episodes. The story was terribly explained and the problems were fixed half-assedly. The mechanics of the game weren't even explained so basically, you had to figure out what the heck is going on. This anime made me more tired than satisfied watching.

Art and Sound: Pure laziness. There are some parts where I thought they animated pretty nicely or the art quality looked amazing. But then they bring in the awkward CGI that doesn't fit with the background. The only thing that I found pretty neat were the characters. But thats about it.

Characters: DISGUSTING! The show tried their best to make everyone have a complicated personality, but every LAST ONE OF THEM just gave me a headache. There was no decent characters. Even the monsters were treated like trash. For example, all the main characters; Ren, Aoi, Akira, and Minami have more than one monsters, and yet, none of them had the thought of using more than 1! I'm pretty sure in the actual game, Monster Strike actually allows you to play with more than one monster at a time. SO I don't know what the heck the creators or the studio of this anime was thinking. ALSO ORAGON? Weird mascot, but he was the least annoying in the show.

OVERALL: This was a waste of time and I don't recommend. Unless you're looking for shows to add to your episode/anime count... もったいね！！！！
