I haven’t played the game, so I don’t know how well it adapts the source material, and I’m writing this as an anime-only. In my opinion, this was an abysmal premiere. The direction was very bland – they tried to insert some action scenes that suffer from “GoHands syndrome of flying camera” (even though this is not being handled by GoHands), but that couldn’t distract me from the bad writing. Yeah, because the writing here is not good either. It succeeds at conveying what the plot is about, but that’s the only positive thing I can say about it. Everything falls into place too conveniently; it shows us going from plot point A to plot point B, but it does nothing exciting with that. On top of that, the dialogues are bad too. We get to know almost every character by watching them introduce themselves – “Hello, my name is… blah blah… I do this and that, remember me viewer for future reference, mkay?” It’s paradocumentary level of writing; fanfic quality. As for the positives… I guess the animation wasn’t bad, but it’s nothing to be excited about either. I’ll watch one more episode, just to be sure, but as of now I think I’m gonna drop this.
