This 12 episode series, while seeming like a generic sci-fi fantasy, shounen story that is typically chucked in with many other generic anime of each season, this anime actually surprised me quite a bit. I ended up really enjoying it for a few reasons.
Story 8: The story is your typical sci-fi fantasy action, with a huge war going on between highly advanced human military serving the empire, and the Witches gifted with magical ability serving their own sovereignty. The MC (badass soldier) and FMC (badass witch) cross paths on the battle field and discover that they have the same goal of ending the senseless war.
While the story is kind of generic, it definitely makes up for it with its unique take on the Romeo and Juliet-like inspiration. I feel it is somewhat rushed as it almost seems to skim past a few scenes and development, being a tad fast pace . However I can forgive this as I enjoyed it so much.
Art & Sound 7: Both art and sound are pretty good but not amazing. The art quality isn't bad but was somewhat generic. However its battle scenes where quite awesome and well made. The sound was also alright, nothing too notable. The OP and ED where fine I guess. The voice acting was quite good in both Sub and Dub. (the captains dub voice while kind of goofy is really cute idk just me?)
Character 8: the characters where quite cool, my guilty pleasure is watching anime or reading manga with an OP edgy MC, but Iska was only OP and quite an alright guy which was refreshing I guess. Alice was also pretty great, having her cute moments while also being an absolute UNIT on par with Iska. Their relationship is pretty nice to see too. The other characters are pretty cool and quirky too, the Captain especially being one of my favourites.
Enjoyment 9: The setting, action, characters and the Romeo and Juliet theme with the MC and FMC just made for a really enjoyable watch. Its not amazing by all means, but I felt I could just relax when watching this series. Overall I'd highly recommend this series for those who aren't too nit-picky, and don't mind it's generic feeling.
