Spoilers from now on.
Worldbuilding: it seems like there was a war which ended magically. As dogma, we have an historical Japan where humans live with fantasy creatures. There seems to be racism with orcs and elves. The firsts because they are brute and smell bad and the seconds... i dont know. Goblins and Dwarves and others don't seem to have problems. We're told that there are cities of only one race but we don't see any. And, why only the elves can activate the only one magical thing that appears of the program? Nobody knows.
Aesthetic decisions: it's ok for your anime to have bright colors and modern music but in this case it doesn't fit.
GCI:I have no problem with it. It isn't the worst I have seen nor the best.
Character: We have a friendly and good orc that changes sides for a memory and this is the best character of all. We have a "gray" samurai that protects the child because she is an object of the brothel and also is a friend of a person who he admire. And the main female character, scream, bite, kick and activates things magically. In the other side we have two villains that are not worked and they seem empty and we don't know why in the final battle one of the arms of one of them is replaced by a squid.
Story: It is very hasty and there is a lot of things that doesn't make sense. Our samurai survives a stab to the heart without any problems. Coincidentally, a centaur passed by, saves them and tells them everything they need to know. They use the twin sister trick. Characters are magically resurrected. And there are random scenarios like: a great battle, a fight in big building on fire, a fight in nature, a fight in a boat...this increasingly looks like a fighting video game. And the end is lazy.
Maybe there is something that I forget but summarizing "Bright: Samurai Soul", yes, It's a bright anime but it have a Samurai that it doesn't seem like it and I doubt very much that it have a soul.
