Preliminary (3/12 eps)
From the disseminators of CULTURE, we bring you " Drifters in an another world with another set of extraordinary individuals defying logic, reason and sanity with their abilities against..." Or as the plebians like to call it, Ishura.

Plot: I genuinely tried to condense the plot for this review, and believe me the synopsis is probably quite decent in that regard. However, I'm sure you'll understand the dilemma of trying to do that within a few episodes. This is what a particularly messed up child of a thrilling Ménage à trois between Re:Creators, Drifters and Attack on Titan looks like on a healthy dose of heroine, a dash of cocaine and a whole lot of inhalation of Fate-inum.

Characters: Think of something like Fate meets Drifters pirated version, and you won't be far from visualising it. One thing is for sure, there should be enough variety of cool characters to choose from here. What they do from here though is something that only time may tell.

Animation: From the foremost authorities of culture, I'm afraid there is hardly any if at all this time around. And to put particularly nasty chilli flakes on the wound, the animation isn't particularly good, a whole lot of the 2nd tier jarring CGI, not even bargain bin budget Sakuga, no fluidity, and not nearly enough cool still shots to salvage it. For reference, even High School DxD Hero and Labyrinth Isekai looks a lot better than this. Disappointed here for sure.

Music: The music is decent, probably seems better for the visuals that it accompanies. The opening is quite good, though again plagued by a subpar animation. Overall, decent, but nothing to remember by.

Enjoyment: The animation aside, there is probably enough wildness to enjoy it so far. I've personally enjoyed it because of how insane it is, though when the novelty wears off it'd be interesting to observe how far the plot and characters can carry it. Fingers crossed, but cautiously so.
