Story and characters: 7
With a twist such as that, and details within, it makes it for a more interesting story then if it was a generic run of mill isekai. Thankfully its not. As with the sense of mystery and excitement the show offers with its complex story, will be enough to drive it home. Laying the ground work from the start, and make you curious upon whats up coming. This is what a good story can do you.
Focusing on the idea that those brought from another world aka Japan, will bring nothing but chaos, so its best to rid them. But what also backs the interest in this story up, is the line of cast members.From the first few moments, you're already hooked on their backgrounds, and story more and more. We have Menou, who really gives of Nana from Talentless Nana. Who can be the right kind of nice, but will ruthless murder you as part of her job as her master's successor. We also have Momo, who can seem like a sweet girl at first glance, but she herself has her own set of layers behind her that really add to her character. Finally we gotta talk about Akari, the gal who seems immortal, whom is a real treat, and it'll make you certainly glad she winded up being the main protag in this series.
With a complex and multi layered list of characters, backgrounds and so much more behind them that just adds to the mystery of the show, and the setting. It'll make for a great watch personally. It's good when an animes cast, can really make for a good story. If it keeps up the pace, then it'll be a great show for the season ahead. You'll want to be invested in it's cast, you'll want to be invested in it's story, and the whole premise behind it all, that is what this show does, and it does it well.
Art and sound: 7
I really do dig the atmosphere when it comes to this show. It can be bright, it can be grim. It really does look spectacular in parts. Which really should be given more credit honestly. I'm always grateful, when shows do take the effort to look not only good, but stylish in parts. Well done there. Coming with that though, is the good sound effects and being fit for purpose in scenes, to really add to any tension that comes ahead as it progresses along. If you don't believe me, just take a look of how episode 3 goes along within it's early mid part. The beat and sound, the animation,all looking and sounding great.
While the name is a bit weird, what isn't weird is how good this show can be. If it keeps up a good pace, it'll be one to remember for sure. Give it a go.
