The characters/story was boring to me. In Anime, the most important element are characters in my opinion. I have seen anime with amazing artwork and music but the characters just didn't do it for me and I did not enjoy or dropped the show. The characters looked and felt bland. To the point where I honestly didn't care what they were saying or happened to them.
The story also is similar to a medieval / old setting where there are generals,farms,etc. None of the characters gave me any emotion / connection other than the little girl to be honest. And even the girl could have been better. Often didn't know what was going on in the movie, was just a bunch of dialogue and random scenes of blood. And a bunch of historical bla bla bla.
The ending was good though , the last twenty minutes or so with the music and beautiful artwork... that was about it. Big let down but definitely wouldn't say it was bad though just not good. It is average. Would I recommend/pay a lot of money to watch it? No
