I'm not sure why MAL didn't tag this also as harem, but it probably deserves that tag too.
So I guess I'll start off with the part that I enjoyed the most from this anime, and it was the art style. Since I'm not an art person, I'm not sure if I'm even using that terminology correctly, but I liked the character designs and how everything else is drawn in general and that was the biggest reason I kept watching.
The OST was good, there's one track off the top of my head that I really like, but in general while watching I never thought to myself

Story: 9
It does keep you in the dark a lot and that can get irritating, but that's part of what keeps you hooked. To some it is predictable, but I don't find that to be an issue, what's great about the series is they do it in a new way. Art: 10 Looks fantastic besides a few blotches here and there due to the studio not managing their time very well, but as far as I'm aware, they did fix those issues in the BD/DVD releases. Sound: 9 Hiroyuki Sawano did a great job with the soundtrack on this anime. Some people like his other works better, but that ... |
