Mixed Feelings
Slight spoiler ahead. You have been warned.

This is one disappointing anime. It started off pretty promising with Gurren Lagann-esque feeling in it's first few episodes. But it quickly fell off because of how the direction of the story went.
It got too episodic with it's plot which is a turn-off for most people. It also didn't help that with each episode, every cast seems to revert back to their initial personality every time just for them to "develop" at the end of each episode. It makes the cast and their relationship feels fake and forced. It's not a very good way for episodic format.
Another one of this anime's problems is how inconsistent the narrative is. It also left off on a pretty lackluster end with how they f*cked up with their "mystery" aspect. Shouldn't have revealed everything to the audience if they're not planning on ending 12 episodes. It just gonna feel rush and out of place considering the other episodes wasn't really building up for that "thing" to be revealed in just 12 episodes.

The animation is pretty good with just a little off-models here and there, but overall still good. The CG is pretty iffy though, but it's not bad. Just... it could be better.
The music is pretty good. Nothing really to say about it. The OST wasn't mind blowingly good or anything, just serviceable. The opening and ending was also just fine.

Overall, it's an anime with a lot of promise, but I dunno what happened, maybe it tripped before the finish line.
(5.2/10)
