All i can say is the cg in this is beautifully done and the story overall is lovely and pretty unique, oh and the music as well in this anime makes it so much likeable. I want more animes in the future to be like this or even better especially like the recent big battle shonen anime like chainsaw man with the cg mixing with 2D is honestly such a well work they've done. All and all i might have minor nitpicks here and there but that doesn't really get to the point it's annoying or overused so overall i hope there's future seasons for this anime.

Ending was MID! Huge cliffhanger. Except cliffhangers usually aren't shit.

The show is pretty good, but idk man. So many people hyped this up, but so far it's not the masterpiece I expected. I'll hold off my overall opinion until I read the manga though, maybe the best parts come a bit after

personal rating 7.5/10
rounded up to 8 for mal

That's a pretty hardcore fuck you ending. this whole episode was pretty underwhelming tbh. It was a great series, and I doubt there'll ever be a season 2 but if there is I'm sure it'll go so much harder. Yea, so the Sensei is fucked, which was pretty evident from the start. Cinnabar is still not that interesting of a character, granted, most of the characters aside from Phos are pretty two dimensional, which isn't necessarily bad for this series, it's just weird when Phos and Cinnabar are meant to have some sort of connection and it's really just not there because Cinnabar is kinda boring. I guess he could probably get more interesting later in the story though. All the other characters, Dia and Antarc especially were fucking incredible, and the ideas behind the gem flesh and moon people are very intuitive, it's just the specifics that are missing. Fucking great anime. The animation style was incredibly unique and the whole show was just fucking beautiful. The only issue with CGI shots is that the characters can just look dead when they're not moving in the background sometimes. It's a problem in 2D as well, but not as often. Honestly this shit looked way better than even the Dragon ball movie which came out not too long ago. Really hope we get to see a second season, but I'll probably have read the manga by then bc the story in this show absolutely bangs. 9/10

At episode 8 i hate how useless phos is but after seeing phos water reflection in episode 12 it really hurt how she changes, such a dilemma for me

Good watch I can say. Could've been better if it was 24 episodes so we get to know whats up with this world. I was hoping there was more focus on whats the secret behind this world they live in. Nonetheless it was good

Amazing show ngl, literally one of the most unique ones i have seen. From storywise to animation wise, beautiful.

I'd give this a 9ish out of 10. Currently reading the manga.

This was pretty long for a manga trailer. Definitely one of the better manga trailers out there though.

i love how they didn't rush and try to explain every single weird thing that was introduced and instead just let the characters shine and the world build in your own imagination.
many other shows with complicated stories like this would try to overexplain and info-dump you to death

I really enjoyed this anime but sadly we might never get a S2.

Orange wasted soo much money and power on garbage like Beasters they should have worked on this instead.

I am thinking about reading the manga let's see.

I watched this show when I first started wearing glasses and don't regret it. It's a beautiful anime that needs a season 2. I won't lie; it is boring at some points and not a lot of actions. It's not something I would rewatch, but it holds a special place in my heart.

Hope this gets a season 2 because there is insane potential. The manga gets so much crazier.

For an anime filled with cliffhangers, the ending was surprisingly calm.

If there's ever a 2nd season, I guess we'll pick up from Sensei's summon then.

I know anime is usually just a justification and advertisement for manga but this one just tried too hard on that part. I don't want to throw shade at the mangaka because I'm sure the manga made far better transitions and decisions even in these 12 episodes alone somehow, because the story feels well thought out when all is said and done. However tho, how do you end the entire thing on a such an unclear cliffhanger especially when there'll likely be no follow-up for a while. A good enough cliffhanger would have been something from the earlier episodes of her asking if sensei said something to the lunarian or something. This one is just upsetting and not really compelling enough. I'd be even more disappointed if I read the manga and their convo was nothing too serious. I'd feel bad. Anyway, the last few episodes kinda lowered the bar, but the first few set it high enough, that I'll say it's a problem with the anime and not the story when push came to shove.

Show was so visually stunning. With good CG you can show off alot like the hair has a slight translucence and reflects light and changes color a bit depending on the shadows.

I want more! So many unsolved mysteries. And I want one of those dogs.

Such a unique and intriguing concept, such a shame it's incomplete
The whole thing felt like the prologue of something bigger
