This was intriguing enough to make me want to continue with the series (that, and the fact I had already paid for a hold on the second instalment) and the characters felt fairly dynamic. That’s where the positives end though. The art style was not it. It had a storyboard-esque, unfinished look that made it almost impossible to follow action sequences, and even get a grasp on what the setting looked like. The worldbuilding was shallow, the pacing was off, and there was no character development.
