The animation looks a bit stiff, but the visuals are great and with the original game soundtrack this looks really promising. Duelle looks amazing, can't wait to see him.

Looks like they'll only adapt the Jumi arc though, this is a good sign since they'll take their time, 12 episodes are more than enough for everything and a few side missions. I hope they'll at least show Niccolo and some of the wisdoms, and tease other characters. And that this gets popular enough for a second season.
