Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (3/12 eps)
This show screams that it'll get better as it goes along.It's the sort of show that takes a good moment to get used to, leaving you unsure if you like the setting, the story, or it's cast members. But I do recommend it for purely the reason that once it gets over setting the scenes, and developments within it's party. Then it may not only get you more into the party, but more that te story may be a bit better paced, and enjoyable. Episode three is a clear showcase of that.

Story and characters: 7
It's a pretty straight forward story. Outcasts, normal people even, being kicked aside through their own parties, with their own backstories to boot. Ending up meeting each other at a bar, getting drunk and winding up making a party themselves. While rocky at first, will we be able to see this party thrive, or dissolve right before our eyes. It really brings out a good conflict of interest, which can make for an entertaining product, but the issue is more as I say, the progress may take time to get used to.

Thankfully, once you over that hurdle, you'll more likely bond with one of the characters, but overall, you would want to see where this party goes if anything. With each other their stories of betrayal, each being heartbreaking, and try to hit you right in the feels. These are characters hard done by, in such cruel ways, as it attempts to make you want to root for them. Depending how you prefer the show, will be telling of that.

In terms of how the cast are, they've got strong personalities, despite their set backs. Even if some may seem cold at first, but that may be due to their upbringing, and where they've come from, and I'm sure, it'll become more clear as the show goes on. But it's a good set of characters, that does make you root for them, and hope their new party takes them to new heights, and overcome anything that gets in their way.

Art and sound: 7
Don't have any complaints in here. It does it's job, and the motions are all well done. The monsters aren't some ugly looking creatures either. They're all fully animated, and done well. So you can't go wrong there. The colours and lighting match each and every scene that it's making out to be, with fitting sound throughout. Something that the anime does really well, and that you can't deny, that it's a well looking, and well sounding anime. Having care for presentation and detail, goes a long way.

Ningen hits a hard place, where it can seem good to one, but not good to another. The first three episodes might be able to fully grasp how the anime will end up truly. It all depends your tastes. It's the sort that'll take another episode or two, before you consider carrying on. It's got a good premise, and interesting characters, so let's hope it can drag it to success.
