Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (3/10 eps)
I really don't understand what's happening in this show, it feels like i'm watching something from the middle onward, where they had already introduced several deep complex topics and concepts, and i'm missing out of crucial information about the story and world... But they actually haven't done anything of that yet.

3 episodes in and i'm more confused about what's happening than what i was on the start, you can even disconsider what happens on the first episode, because as a first episode it fails miserably, they don't properly introduce us about anything crucial in the story and world, nor give us any hook other than the main protagonist being the only human a demi-human world, and only on the second and third episode they actually introduce hooks and motivations, but even then its all mixed up with several other unrelated topics that makes this feels like an out of order/out of direction complex mess.

Its even worse considering that the thing they were supposed to introduce, elaborate and contextualize early on, from the first episode, still haven't received any kind of proper build up, the sword attuning/spirit thing that feels like its going to be a major event/tie, motivation for story development, progress, reasoning, etc. By the third episode i only know that people in this world really, really like their swords for some unknown reason.

I can't keep watching this because it feels like i'm being forced to do their own hard work, linking and tying things properly in my head, when the people that was responsible for properly introducing, producing and directing this didn't cared enough to do their jobs. Its kinda sad to say that, because if things happen like i imagined in my head, this was supposed to be a very promising show, with some very interesting concepts and developments, but they just fumbled it all down.
