I've not seen the stage-play so I went into this anime blind. I'm sure the characters and the story are exciting in the stage-play but it's very hard to get yourself immersed into it when the anime's background is lackluster and when the anime decided to put 2D into it, they're drawn in the lowest of the low quality. I'm not even joking. Legit, when they're drawing characters in 2D, it feels like the animators just went "I'm going to draw this with the hand I don't usually use to draw! Lol!"
The only reason why I'm rating it a 3 and not lower than that because the VAs actually put a lot of effort into their acting despite the inevitable low review for whatever this is. The VAs- majority of them are new with only Masuda Toshiki being the only veteran. The voices at the very least fit every character.
Another reason why I am not rating lower than a 3 is because some episodes actually got me laughing.
The only good thing about this anime are the Opening song, Ending song, and Masuda Toshiki and the new VAs. I hope this anime doesn't screw the new VAs over and I hope to hear their voices in better works than this.
Seriously, who even greenlit this animation style? Learn from EX-ARMS and Berserk 2016 already, animators, nobody likes low tiered CGIs. Though I will admit at least the characters DO blink unlike in EX-ARMS
