I assume if you already like the original source material, you'll enjoy this a lot more than I did and can see it as a fun addition to a story you already enjoy. Unfortunately, I do not have the same attachment to the original story, and wouldn't recommend this to anyone who doesn't already have that connection either.
tl;dr It was just really boring.
The main issue I had with it was the pacing. The story is relatively fast-paced, but in a way that strips away any buildup or ending catharsis the events could've had. It's honestly easy to forget what happened in previous episodes because
...
of how quickly the anime goes through each plot point to get to the next(A review I saw here described it as "And then this happens" storytelling which I agree with). A lot happens in what I watched, but I feel like I remember none of it at the same time. It feels like there's supposed to be stakes but I also barely feel any of it because of how little buildup there is for events that supposedly matter, causing a disconnect between the atmosphere of the show and my own personal feelings.
Most of the characters aren't unlikable, but they also don't have much depth or interesting traits to latch onto, and the ones that do also suffer from the anime rushing through it for the sake of getting to the next plot point. Another thing is that it also feels like a lot of characters show up as fanservice and nothing else. It feels like they show up so fans can have "Oh my god it's him!!" moments and see Their Little Blorbo on screen and not much else, but I didn't finish it, so maybe this changes(Though I doubt it with how large the cast is). The end result is that I don't care for any of the characters, and only a few stand out to me.
The culmination of these issues causes this anime to have a story that bored me nearly to sleep with characters I don't have any feelings(Especially positive) about.
