It is a fine work of art, at last someone does justice to Mesoamerican stories, simply the fact that there is no censorship in sacrifices and weird customs are respected, the cult of death, gods, places, all are historically endorsed, nothing to do with western culture, Mesoamerica is more rooted in Asia than Europe.

This show had so much potential, but was sadly brought down by terrible writing and a lack of true world/story building. It honestly feels like they rushed 3 seasons of information and writing into one. On top of the fact you never really get to know or fall in love with the caracters or their struggles. Because by the time you learn something, 5 more things are thrown at you and the last thing is forgotten. The Animation style is beautiful, but it lacks fluidity most of the time. On top of which the dialogue is also clunky and out of balance. This show felt like it could have been the next Avatar in both animation and character building, but just falls short of its greatness.

The point of main character aside, he is the failing of this show. Irritating to endure and creepy to listen to, more so after realizing the boy character is being voiced by a woman, his voice just sounds off and the unrelenting whining.

He's also a bit of a Marty Stu when necessity requires him to be smart or have skills. From weaver to leader, swordsman, tactician, and back to whining...

Friends of "ATLA", "LoK" and "The Dragon Prince" will like it.

Hope there will be more seasons.

I liked the anime, it has like the avatar animation, I hope the story and fight is the best
