The fictional universe really catches one's attention, however, the characters soon turn out to be walking clichés so its original appeal quickly wears off.I'm in the sixth episode and so far it's been predictable as hell , ripping off Naruto and the likes whenever they can. You'll have to sit through a lot of so-called deep psychology (characters bulging their eyes and thinking about dead whoevers which they have to avenge.) Too many pep-talks. Action sequences are well-paced but sparse.

The animation is surprising and cleverly incorporates medieval aesthetics. The "camera movement", so to speak, is amazing. All in all, this anime is visually pleasing and suggestive, however, the story unfolds too slowly and in too a predictable way.
