TLDR: 4 hours of memory loss would be more rewarding.

I have genuinely never watched a more mediocre fantasy show, there is absolutely nothing in this show that stands out, it is so lacklustre at barely fulfilling the basic requirements of a story, a show that can't decide between being episodic or having a plot, no other goal that having the most cardboard cutout self insert protagonist. this show can't decide whether it wants to be a fantasy harem or a fantasy slice of life and subsequently fails pathetically at both. the worst part is that it scrapes by doing everything that it won't even be ... remembered in infamy, for being a terrible show it's just that boring. It is possibly the blandest piece of media I have ever consumed, I hope this passes through the bowels of my mind, never to be remembered

for an anime, it costs approximately $220,000 per episode* and it was spent on this pile of wet sawdust and I can safely say that just getting plastered and forgetting the next 4 hours of your life would be a more valuable experience, don't bother watching this if you are just trying to pass time you will regret the hours better spent doing nothing at all

it's sad i can't enjoy this show more it just feels rushed

the story and premise are good but that's not able to keep this boat afloat

art is ok, industry standard "we don't have enough budget to do this without poor 3d" kinda art

score is ok but alot of the tracks sound like dodgy bootleg songs from better anime,
poorly fitting in with the scene most of the time, the monster noises are ok but i think they only have like 4 noises in the sound pool to choose from...

characters range from ok to god awful, the main protagonist is some kind of self pity Mary sue ... trope sitting around 90% while saying "I can do this !!" and gawking like an ostrich at all the other people fighting, and to top everyone else just feels like supporting cast. you develop no attachment to them and just don't care what happens

i've watched worse shows but the final note for this is that a rushed product feels like wasted potential even more so when you hear a second season got ok'ed

polygon have done very well to set up a flop like this, with their last 3 ventures into 3D animation all having been quite exceptional, with this I had high hopes but a good theatrical kick in my supportive nads has been dealt..

story (hurts self in confusion/10)
i honestly don't know where to begin with this,
building off the confusion in blame polygon have once again dropped you in the middle of a situation with no data and expect you to get whats going on, the pacing is iffy and there are actually moments when the exposition will talk about something irrelevant to the plot during ... the time it should be filling in blanks...

Art (failed to render/10)
the art's ok... not polygons best... but they have done worse... one thing that caught my eye was the copy pasted space suits and the pre-crumpled sleeves, interestingly, breaking habit polygon forgot what metal looks like...

Sound... (kill me/10
the sound design is probably the worst part of this whole experience, the abysmal score, sounding like a compilation of last centuries greatest melodrama's being thrown into a blender with some electronic mess leads to an assault on the ears, that is of course when it is not utterly forgettable... this accompanied by poor foleying leads in the sound design, leads to you asking yourself whether acid was abused in the recording. overall the sound is either forgettable or painful to hear. if you want good sound design from polygon, well go back to Yuggo Kanno...

Character design (who? /10)
i don't even know where to start with this..
i'm pretty sure the protagonists name began with a H
there was possibly a love interest, though so little development occurred that overall it's just freaking chaos, there's aliens with more connection to the lead so it could be a bisexual love triangle, there's a lot of blanks you can fill in with this one, everyone is forgettable and no one has enough to make me remember their name...

Enjoyment (tumbleweed sound/10)
it's pretty boring but i know i've wasted my life in plenty worse ways than this. it really grated on my ears though,

Overall - (meh?/10)
possibly the worst kaiju movie i have seen, give me a man smashing a cardboard box city in a lizard suit any time instead of this, hopefully this is just a one time flop from polygon, the work they have done previously has been great. that said if you want to waste your time with shiny stuff then may i suggest michael bays transformers, the shiny stuff is shinier with better explosions and i can remember a few characters names even...
