Story - 4
The story was honestly pretty interesting at first. You have this girl Honoka who travels around a desert in some kind of tank. She meets a bunch of people along this journey and also happens to possess a third eye. Only problem is that the story goes absolutely nowhere for what is probably half of the series.
Almost every episode is some boring dialogue nobody wants to hear, or a basic fight with no build up or hype.
I would’ve enjoyed this show if it weren’t for the uninteresting and repetitive dialogue for about half of the series, if it weren’t for that I could’ve actually had a fun time watching this.
It actually then picks up the pace near the end but delivers a pretty boring and forgettable experience at most.
Art - 5
The art and animation were alright for 2006. Just really bland though. They didn’t really do much to make the show look that good.
They did an alright job on the actual animation. But did nothing to make the show look visually appealing with lighting, backgrounds or anything.
It has a boring and generic art style with not much character at all in the art.
This show would also have the tendency to add some ugly looking CG and some stock photo looking images as the sky in some parts. Overall though, it has really bland and lazy art but not ugly by any means.
Sound - 6
The sound in this show was good, just forgettable.
The opening and ending were a tad bit good but definitely forgettable and not the kind of song you would listen to on repeat. The voice acting was good and they did a good job at fulfilling their roles.
Now the background music on the other hand was as bland as the show. Sometimes there would even be none. Paired with the boring, bland feel of the show and it would be extremely boring to watch and get through.
Character - 3
The characters were definitely the worst part of the show. That really sounds harsh but they’re some of the most cardboard cutout characters I've ever seen in an anime.
They all provided some of the most boring dialogue. And it was hard to care for most characters when they would barely do anything interesting. They all seem to do the same things over and over again until it’s dry. You never see much character development in this show even when they try to develop them.
They’ll always be dry characters and I did not feel any attachment to them whatsoever.
Enjoyment - 3
It’s safe to say I did not enjoy this series that much. It has bland uninteresting dialogue for most of the time you are watching the show. Generic fights with absolutely nothing special about any of them. No buildup to anything, no enjoyment for half of the series and characters drier than the desert they journey through.
I know some people could enjoy this show if you can handle repetitive actions and dialogue. But this show just isn’t for me, sorry.
