im a fan of time travel anime, and i really liked how this series completed the whole story in only 25 episodes.

i enjoyed the anime, but i put it on hold for a really long time (i stopped at episode 20) because there was something i just didn't like about it. after i finished it today, i realized what my problem with it was. i think there was too much exposition; from the start until the 24th episode, there was too much dialogue explaining what was happening instead of showing them to the audience, which i found dull or lazy. it felt like the show ... was spoonfeeding me with information instead of making me think about how and why the events in the anime occurred. they even over-explain the plot twists.

additionally, the last episode was full of plotholes. though the ep's purpose might just be to give the audience a proper conclusion to the story, so i didn't dwell on it that much.

don't get me wrong, it was an enjoyable anime and i recommend others to watch it so they can judge it themselves. it's a good anime to start with for time travel fans.

overall, i'd rate it between 7/10.

I don't really write reviews but I really need to share my thoughts on this one.

Not sure if spoiler alert, but storytelling was bad. The first and second halves were basically the same: mc and company raid the enemy base, each of them fights someone, mc and girl fight the main bad guy, sword gives him a power up, they win.

The series tried too hard to be serious that all characters end up sounding monotone.

The harem also seemed so unnecessary.

I enjoy watching trash fantasy anime, but unlike those that everyone expects to be story-less, slice of life anime, made only for entertainment, this one ... had an actual story but the execution sucked.
