This was not at all what I expected, and it was really cool. It's a fantasy that takes on the style of an Among Us game with several heroes who all seemingly want the same thing except one of them is lying. It has more layers than a simple "Who's the bad guy?" since it's also a mystery what the purpose of being the fake/spy/impostor is. What I was expecting was a team to gather and journey out to face the Big Bad, so when the mind games continued and I noticed I was more than halfway through I was impressed that, without the overall plot really going anywhere, the anime had managed to keep me engaged and entertained with several plausible options of who the fake/spy/impostor was.

Touching briefly on the other things, the action was solid, the fighting abilities of each character were unique and cool, and the soundtrack was serviceable. The world itself felt unique compared to other fantasy environments as well. I think the one thing that gave me the feeling the story had jumped the shark and diminished the appeal was in the last episode when things were feeling finally sorted out and then something happened that made things not sorted out. Not gonna say specifically what due to spoilers, it just was disappointing to have the majority of the show dedicated to solving something for it to ultimately result with an... un-resolving? Something like one step forward, two steps back. Yeah.

Anyway, the show was engaging and I enjoyed it.
