Story - 5/10:
I am sure the story isn't poorly written but if there is one thing that is for sure then that it is hard to get behind it, even after 4 episodes. Now that might be because I am an idiot or that it's just all a bit too messy. From episode 1 the show keeps you on the hook with the story since you're being thrown into the cold water here, not knowing anything about the world, not really understanding any of the characters motivations or what's actually going on. I felt a bit overwhelmed after the first episode actually since there was really a lot switching from here to there with many things happening simultaneously. After that I thought that it could only get easier from here but up to episode 4 they still kept introducing more characters and plot threads so that it really didn't. I guess I can already say now that only with a rewatch i will really be able to tell how good the story really is. Anyways with that much mystery still being there as of now it's safe to say that it's hard to get emotionally invested with anything happening in the show since you are mainly focused on understanding what is even going on.
Characters - 5/10:
Same problems as with the story. I already mentioned that it's hard to get behind the motivations of the different characters that are being presented. Plus point for the MC however, she has a really likeable child-like personality that I got to love from the first episode and together with Naomi they make a pretty good duo, slightly comparable to the dynamic that Chisato and Takina had in Lycoris Recoil, if you watched that (if not, well... "polar opposites attract each other" is what you could call the dynamic between them, at least that's the first thought that came to my mind now at past midnight writing this).
Art & Animation - 6/10:
Being an anniversary project I gotta say I was quite underwhelmed by the animation right from the get go. That might just be because I had higher expectations for that fact though. On the other hand I like the character and world design. However the designs of some characters are still pretty unoriginal and are not really any different from any other typical standard cliche sci-fi anime. Same goes for the design of the different locations.
Soundtrack - 6/10:
OP is a banger, otherwise nothing extraordinary that I can recall so guess it's alright :)
Enjoyment - 5/10:
Some cool action, nothing that gets me out of my seat screaming and crying though. Still quite undecided how much I enjoy this show because of the problems I wrote about earlier. Will see how it goes from here.
