When I was looking through the shows from this season this is one of the ones that really interested me, due to the stylised visuals that can be used in anime it provides great potential at horror and in the pv it appeared to be all about exploration of a world of unknowns.
Unfortunately the show didnt reach my expectations, often held back by janky looking cgi and iffy visuals the decision to often show the monsters barely works, takjing away the potential for the viewer to use their own imagination.
Another problem is the tension, a couple times throughtout the season they manage to create
...
a great tension- for example the cliffhanger on ep10 and the opening half of ep3, however this tension is unfortunately poorly executed upon, this may be due to the pacing of the show- with each crisis normally being resolved by the end of the episode meaning rushing a copnclusion before we have time to process that a threat is truely dangerous. This goes alongisde the strange ordering of the anime, with one of the arcs being moved around quite significantly causing fairly obvious plotholes even for a casual viewer.
The only reason I continued watching was the interesting interactions between the characters and the hope that it would get better, and moments of clarity where I see what it could be.
6/10 has a good discord though
