I feel a bit frustrated writing a review for this series as I had high hopes for it after having followed the manga adaptation for a while. Unfortunately the anime has been very lacking both as its own series and especially compared to the manga adaptation,comparison on which much of this review is based.
I am not going to be going into the plot that much, as the basics of the setting can be found from the description of this page. Shortly its a fantasy-adventure story starring a father and a daughter with nice balance of action, drama and comedy (or at least it ought
...
to be), with some nice mystery hooks.
The reasons for why I can not really recommend the series are mostly based on two points, the rushing of the plot, and the art-direction and quality of animation. I am constantly surprised when watching the series how quickly the just breeze through all the plot-lines, leaving them feeling rather unimportant, while also failing to adapt a plenty of nice little moments that brought the distinct sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, atmosphere of the manga to life. For the art&animation admittedly I am not familiar with the original VN but comparing both for example the art of the characters and animations as depicted to the how these were dealt with in the manga has left me significantly disappointed. It just screams low-quality to me.
All in all, I am going to finish the series but doubtful I'd ever re-watch it. The regretful part is, that it had potential for so much more.
