The first episode of this anime was a pretty good introduction honestly. However any excitement for the show fades as they continuously bludgeon you with character introductions that were pretty much the same exact sequence of dialogue and then action scene, all without really adding anything to the main overarching plot for another 5 episodes after the first. With one dedicated episode for each character, it doesn't give you time to really build attachments to them so I could honestly care less if they were to die in whatever they're planning to do with them.
Only thing that has me somewhat interested this long was the setting. The time period as well as how they did their magic system was interesting to me and I enjoyed seeing those aspects. It's such a shame because it could've been at least a 6 for me if they didn't decide to pace the anime as they did just because of the setting alone. The 5 that I gave it is really just being generous since I'm hoping that whatever we're waiting for will be worth it, but if not it's definitely dropping down to a solid 3.
