    So bad it hurts

    Unfortunately I couldn't even watch a full episode. The animation (if you even can call it that) is so extremely bad. When I saw the poster I was super excited for this since the art on it looked the same like the webcomic Leviathan that is great. Turns out that the anime is absolutely nothing like it. Neither the manga it turns out . So most likely has crunchyroll just paid for a sick as poster making it looks good when it's the complete opposite.

    Holy CRAP this is one ugly "animated" show.

    I could only watch about five minutes. Look, I know this is a review and a review should include someone who actually watched a full episode at least, but I couldn't. The "animation" was so god awful that it just had this uncanny valley effect that makes it unwatchable. When I saw the reviews, I thought it was just people complaining about CG like in Knights of Sidonia or Golden Kamue - IT IS NOTHING LIKE THAT, this really is the absolute worst animated show I have seen since those old 1990's OVA anime rush jobs that were straight to video.

    I think my eyes are permanently damaged.

    I can not stress this enough, the animation is pure trash, think of the worst thing you've ever watched, but twice as bad. The plot is interesting, but is ruined by the way it looks, it is unwatchable, if I could give it 0 stars, I would.

    In anime, you see CGI, good CGI, most of the time, and EVERYTHING is CGI in this series, it is not good CGI at all. The fights are so bad, the movements are robotic and the actually decent voice acting does not line up with the movement of the characters' mouths.

    Save your eyes and your sanity, don't watch this, if you want to see the plot, read the manga.

    An anime the same quality as Crunchyroll service

    I couldn't watch more than 4 minutes, including 90 seconds of opening. In comparison, ugly drawings by a toddler you stick on your fridge have a much better art style and animation.

    This is from a brand new studio, and I would compare this anime to shooting themselves in the foot with a Gatling gun. There is a good chance the entire team behind this is never allowed to work again.

    Dropped Just After The First Episode...

    NB: I've wrote this review just after watching the first episode (I've dropped it), be aware of it.

    Plot: very interesting, mysterious and intriguing.

    Animation: unwatchable. Every movement is kind of robotic, smooth but literally nonhuman. The worst work I've ever saw. Especially for a nowadays work, we are in 2021, right?

    Drawings: none. Everything is Computer Graphic made. And not so well.

    Soundtrack: not bad, at least.

    Conclusions: don't waste time watching it, really. This is the worst work I've ever saw. I can't recommend it to anyone. The manga is a way better, the drawings are amazing!
