EN ESPAÑOL

No me gustó, pero me interesó lo suficiente como para terminarlo.
Es un anime que se quedó en el tiempo. Sin embargo, algo en mi mente sabe que es un estilo de anime que en su día me hubiera gustado mucho.

Ahora mismo, simplemente me parece mal hecho. No digo aburrido. No di predecible. Simplemente mal hecho, con huecos, con incognitas que no aportan nada y, la mayor queja de todos, con un final que no dice absolutamente nada.

Sumado a eso, por momento se hacía pesado ver TANTO sobre el pasado de ciertos personajes. Es el problema que tienen varios animes multiprotagónicos: trata tanto de enfocarse ... en todos que nunca se enfoca en nadie.

Pero bueno, hay animes como Rokka no Yuusha que lo solucionan con un problema mayor: el misterio.
Acá no hay misterio, solo un battle royale y tiempo límite. No hay mucho márgen para trabajar, y menos contando el pasado de los personajes.

IN ENGLISH

I didn't like it, but I was interested enough to finish it.
It's an anime that got stuck in time. However, something in my mind knows that it's a style of anime that I would have loved back in the day.

Right now, it just seems poorly done to me. I didn't say boring. I didn't say predictable. Just poorly done, with holes, with unknowns that add nothing and, the biggest complaint of all, with an ending that says absolutely nothing.

Added to that, at times it became tiresome to see SO MUCH about the past of certain characters. It's the problem that several multi-protagonist anime have: it tries so hard to focus on everyone that it never focuses on anyone.

But well, there are anime like Rokka no Yuusha that solve it with a bigger problem: mystery.
Here there is no mystery, just a battle royale and time limit. There's not much room to work with, and even less so with the characters' past.

Very good anime until chapter 4.

From this point:

- Mech armor ruins combat. Less blood, less impact, less possibility of complicated strategies, less development of shinobi skills.

- The animation begins to deteriorate. It's not a bad CGI, but it's very poorly implemented.
The mecha battles are simply slashes and sparks, unlike the first combats, where the movements and choreography were better.

- The story stops being interesting. The "villain" turns out to be an idiot. And the Organization, which the exiles fear so much, only the first 4 episodes are really scary. Then they mostly become NPCs waiting to be killed.
...
- Some plotstwist come from nowhere. They have no impact or logical explanation. And I'm not just talking about the story, but there are even scenes that don't make sense (For example, at one point X character uses a hook to fight and, literally 5 seconds later, falls into the void thinking "oh no, I'm dead".. .i mean, use your hook dude)

Anyway. Didn't like it.
Excelent animation and great potential at the beginning, all thrown away in chapter 4 when that whole feeling of human fragility and "every little decision counts" was lost.
The anime proposed rules that later became irrelevant.
