Maybe the best definition of what a "solid" anime should be. Eating monsters is a very good hook that most episodes revolve around, the characters are all incredibly likeable without ever feelings samey, the tone is very sincere and sweet and light, there's nice action that's well thought out, and it's pretty funny too! It's also neat that it doesn't explain itself or its world too much until it needs to, which is a fault of a LOT of anime share, even if they end up great. The animation and designs are lovely and well-executed, with a lot of effort put into

Man this was a slog. So many problems but I'm too tired to go into it all. Scattered observations to follow:
- The Music is legitimately good, and the cast is doing their best with a really bad script. - People talk about how brutal the deaths are in this show but they really aren't. Like, there's nothing visceral in most of the deaths in this show (except maybe three or four, and most of those are confusing in just how much more violent they are that it doesn't work, it just shocks), and almost every death is telegraphed to shit and played up ... |
