Mixed Feelings
A potentially good plot but ruined by poor story telling. That's what I thought of this anime. Granted, it made me curious to follow the story to the last episode. However... I can say this anime is just mediocre or average at best due to its poor story telling.

The story about humans vs gods is not something you find. This anime brought the Gods from multiple countries, cultures, or religions, all united to destroy humanity. Well... there is no mercy from these Gods due to their rather arrogant nature in this story. The humans received some helps from the Walkures to make the fight closer to fair. But how? Well... For the start, the humans who fought gods in this anime is nothing short of superhuman from the beginning. Their senses, reflexes, strength, endurance, and everything except their intelligent has been boosted to match the gods. The rest you can watch yourself.

Okay, what kind of poor story telling that ruins the potentially good plot here?
For starters, while we don't see random advertising cuts because this anime is on Netflix, we actually got a lot during the fight in form of talking nonsense too long or the favorite of all anime viewers, flashbacks! Yes, ratio is incredibly terrible. For example in single episode we got like 5 minutes real fight or maybe less, then 15 minutes of flashbacks or other filler probably. The placement is just so poor. Why not give the background story before the fight dedicated in like 1 episode before the fight then dedicated the next episode for the full fight instead? That way it would be more focused on the background story and more enjoyable the fight.

Then there are some other stupidities beyond idiot, mainly the talking and thinking. Most of the fight supposed to be in very high speed beyond what normal human can see. Yet they can still finish a technique name or even a full sentence in the move which takes less than one second. Oh not too mention to come out with something in under one second. Oh damn.... To hell with logic. This isn't an anime that cares about logic. Even the spectators can still saw and listened to the fighters' talk and movements.

The character design is not that good. It's not my favorite for sure and the background story telling of the gods are rather not consistent. So... not much here either.

Is this anime enjoyable? Not really. But it successfully managed to made curious about the story. Too bad though, if they could build a better story telling, I might like this anime more. At least rating it as a "Good" anime instead of "Mediocre/Average".
