I'm kind of lost for words on how bad this looks and feels. The animation quality is dreadful, you get constant use of stills, reused shots and animation frames, uncolored lineart, awful, awful CGI backgrounds... The one other time I've seen an anime this painful to look at was watching Ex-arm, nothing else compares.
The story... Is once more a prologue piece to a GoC game, and once more didn't make me care about any of the characters in the slightest. The protagonist is pathetic, which still kind of makes him more memorable than the princess or the captain, because they have no traits to speak of. Again, Idea Factory is reaching absolute highs of anti-adventisement and I'll never understand why they bothered to produce these...
If I wanted to find a positive, I could say it at least didn't dilute its runtime with multiple stories... But what value is in that when the story is pure crap? Do not waste your time watching this.
