Plunderer

Numbers runs the world in this anime and people decide what specific task in life they must do successfully to keep those numbers up. But if your count goes to zero, you will be yeeted from the particular world ruled by numbers. Actually the story seems interesting for a change, but the execution is mediocre and renders the whole anime bad. At least it is bearable to watch. I watched every episode of this production because it is actually hilarious to see how bad it is. (It has the same essence like the Sharknado movies, it is so bad it can be entertaining). Score 3/10

When you've seen tons of other anime in the similar genre, Plunderer almost failed entirely to give us something new. This anime was like a mash-up of characters from Seven Deadly Sins and world building from Gate and SukaSuka. Story (6/10): The concept with the living with the rules of numbers and their count reflecting their power capabilities and social standing seemed original and full of potential. If someone came to me and told me that this is what Plunderer was about, then I would be all-in. Sadly, I would be facing disappointment. The anime and how it portrayed its story in the first three episodes almost lost me. The plot build-up was so slow and uninteresting at first that if you didn't have the patience or the determination to finish what you started watching then you would drop this anime then and there. Luckily, despite my disgust with the generic and almost copied character archetypes (I could swear that the main characters in Plunderer have their exact counterparts in Seven Deadly Sins), I decided to sit through it. This anime somehow turned itself around episode 4 and 5 because they dropped a "bomb" to the whole idea of the world building they were doing. This anime has so many concepts and ideas it's trying to put together. All of which, are remarkably interesting ideas, and if combined right, it would have been so much more than what was presented. The story deepens as you move along but, despite seeing so much of this story, it was more or less predictable. Art (6/10): The art was sort of stale. It didn't exactly bring to life the emotions the characters were trying to portray. And in some cases it felt lacking. Sound (4/10): The OST was not at all helpful. When I get emotional scenes, I expect music in the background accompanying the scenes to make it more come to life. I got the music but, it just didn't match the scenes they were accompanying. Character (5/10): Too generic. I mean I could swear that Licht Bach is Melodias from the first Ep alone with Hina being his Elizabeth. And not to mention the other deadly sins (not all) also have there counterpart in Plunderer. And their motif is also quite similar. Well the characters in Plunderer are quite developed and I like how it offers room for the viewers to imagine how these characters came to be. But, I think that they could have done that in a much shorter time compared to how much episodes they allocated for it. You could see that the anime was focusing on character building compared to action sequences. That would have been great if the anime focused on drama and had a good story going for them but, this was not the case. Enjoyment (6/10): Overall (5/10): !!LITTLE SPOILER AND RANT AHEAD!! This anime would have been good for someone who was just started venturing out into anime. I would probably recommend this for beginners more compared to Sword Art Online (yes, a bit of shade there). But as someone who has seen so much of these archetypes, I could say that Plunderer's most redeeming factor was its concept with numbers but along the way, these numbers seemed to get irrelevant. Sure in the first few fights, you get the idea that how much his count is, that's how strong he is. Then later on, you get fights wherein someone with close to a zero count beat someone with utter plot convenience and conviction?! It just gave me the idea that the numbers that they worked so hard to introduce to us just became obsolete in the long run. I rest my case. Watch this if you're new. If you're a veteran weeb, watch this if you have some time to spare.

Honestly, I'm very disappointed with this anime, before watching the anime the concept sounded really cool, a world where you have ''counts'' if you reach 0 counts you get sent to the abyss, which is supposedly a horrible place, and the more counts you have the more respected you are. None of the characters stood out to me, the animation looked really weird at times and the love between the two main characters felt rather forced. And the worst of all - the sexual harassment, you see it even in the first episode which honestly sucks, I don't mind ecchi but if it's getting touched against your own will that's not okay and Plunderer was filled with that, unfortunately. I have heard that the manga explains things much better so I might give Plunderer a fair try by reading the manga though personally I don't recommend anyone to watch the anime.

This will be a short review. Story (8/10) - There is a great story behind this whole thing, with a lot of interesting twists, but there is also a lot of odd content that, at first may seem like filler, it serves a purpose for the narrative. Admittedly, not everyone will enjoy the fan-service heavy episodes (I certainly did not), but there is an interesting plot beneath it if you are willing to look. Art (7/10) - While not spectacular, it was not awful either. It was well done throughout and never appeared derpy or of poor quality. Sound (6/10) - While largely forgettable, the soundtrack never felt out of place. Character (5/10) - This is probably the worst part of the show, mostly because the characters are illogical and often act irrationally. The obvious, overbearing traits that are shown for several characters are explained, albeit in a very awkward and unsatisfying way. There wasn't a whole lot of character development either, so that didn't help either. Enjoyment (7/10) - Each individual episode should be rated separately, because some episodes were great, but with others, the elements were trite and dull. To watch this show, you'll need to deal with ups and downs in the enjoyment factor, but looking at it as a whole, it's an enjoyable show. Overall (7/10) - It was a good show, but not great. The awkward mash-up of comedy and seriousness was off-putting at times. Overall I enjoyed the show and recommend it to anyone that enjoys a decent action show with some ecchi moments mixed in (honestly, it's about half ecchi and half action/story). TL;DR: It's good but not great. The mix of ecchi and comedy clashes with the serious tone of the story too much for it to be great. The show has enough balance to be a fun watch--provided you enjoy ecchi content with a somewhat typical shounen action/comedy blend. The show rides a middle ground between action/shounen-style story and ecchi/comedy that appeals to both crowds but neither at the same time. I recommend that you give it a chance if you like either style, but be prepared to be a little disappointed when one style overplays the other for a few episodes.

Plunderer is like Sword Art Online. Just backwards. While the story is fascinating and the characters are very interesting and likeable, the realization of this anime is just poor. I haven't read the manga yet, but after watching the anime adaptation I'm sure of one thing: Plunderer as an anime is a horrible adaptation. When watching this, you can clearly see that adaptations 1:1 just don't work out. People responsible for this anime haven't try to make a good show and instead decided to go with simply taking the original and transferring it into another media. Because of that, the tv adaptation has a lot of flaws, which include wrong pacing and lack of any rhythm. Also, the animation looks just terribly bad and the colour palette reminds me of this in Paint. I do not recommend you watching this. I think if you are interested in the premise, you should instead try reading a manga, because the anime takes all the good things from it and serves it in the most repulsive form possible.

It could have been a great anime, there were some interesting concepts introduced such as the idea of the Aces, the Count system that ruled the world and the Althing - however they go nowhere. The first few episodes are painfully slow, basically introducing us to the characters and the setting. The main issue here is the characters are really uninteresting, cliched and just plainly boring, there is really not much worthwhile to say about them, the setting is barely explored outside of some exposition and the main focus of the first 10 or so episodes is an ecchi filled wild goose chase between two of the main characters. After episode 10 or so the story goes in a different, unexpected direction and went exploring the "origin" story of the aces and I found myself interested yet again. However, that particular arc leads nowhere outside of some shock plotwists that really are not impactful to the story at all and that is when I realized there is nothing really going for this anime. What this anime has is tons of ecchi, and while I do not mind it when it is used in moderation, this show just takes it overboard to levels of retardedness i did not think were possible. Literally every time when it is possible the show producers will just cram some stupid ecchi moment. Often times what should be serious moments (and mind you, the producers I think expect you to care about) are interspersed with poor taste ecchi that just completely ruin the pacing of the scenes. It is really sad, because this could have been a genuinely good anime, the potential was there, and this is why it's even more painful to review it. The base was there, but the execution of the overall concepts and the characters were handled with lack of taste, common sense and really any creative license. Apparently the manga that this was based is much better. I have no idea as I did not read it, but if you are interested in any way in this show you should probably just read the manga and completely skip the anime.

Ah, yes Ecchi fantasy anime You can summarize this anime with the sentence "Social rankings means everything" So everyone has these numbers on their body, you need to do something for it to get bigger for example kills, walking etc and if your number goes to 0 you will get dragged to the void or something, but if you have a ballot that has numbers you can't get dragged even if your own number drops to 0. But aha there is things that can prevent these things such as ballots. Ballots are this magical orbs that has some numbers stored in them and even if your own number drops to negative your Ballot will prevent it and it seems to make you stop aging which explains why the Legendary Aces can live for over 300 years. There are 2 different types such as Artificial ballots and Original Ballots. Artificial ones are gifted to high ranking military members and they do improve your powers. While the original Ballots can be compared to Dragon Balls since there are 7 and if you collect them all you can control the earth or something like that. The story: Hina sees her mom get dragged away and she has time to giver Hina a ballot and she also said "Find the legendary ace". So Hina starts her journey to find these 300 year old legends. She goes to a town with the hope she can find him there. He meets a Legendary Ace impostor and loses most of her count but then the real Ace arrives and saves the day. We follow Hinas adventures trying to find him again and also The legendary aces adventures while trying to run away from the army. Well, Our Ace named Licht does not want company form Hina and runs away but they meet eventually. I think the greatest part of this anime is the Time Travel arc bs. So our gang go back to the past and meet young Licht before anything bad happens. They attend some military school and such. Since they are a young bunch of pussies they want to become the army that doesn't kill but that really doesn't work out. In this arc we see how Legendary Aces are made. After they returned to the future everything was changed for the worse I suppose. Characters are somewhat interesting. Hina isn't the greatest character but isn't the worst. She has developed feelings for Licht during their time together and she also became a very good drinker. Most of the time she just "sucks" the aces dick. Her whole character is just about finding the Ace. But after she found the ace she became better. Licht Bach is the so called Legendary Ace. His number is -1000 but his ballot has 5700-57000. He is not a ladies man since he has been rejected 1000 times. He is somewhat of a funny character. Now he is known under the alias Pudding after trying to pass through a city in a pudding costume. Jail Murdoch is my favourite character. He is this high ranking military official but not too high ranking since the highest ranks do paper works while he wants to capture criminals. He has the power to summon and utilize Iron and he does it well. He is quite the bad ass. Pele Poporo is this laid back military man who usually hangs with Mei Lyne. He isn't much to look at but he is an assassin and a good one at that. Appearance it scary. Mei Lyne is also a part of the military and she is dead set on helping people out. The common joke with her is that everyone can see her panties due to the short skirt she has to wear. Finally Roy Mustang got his wish. The ost is mostly good. There could be some improvements here and there. Both of the openings are pretty decent even though the first one is better. I think if you like ecchi anime then you should watch. Of course this is as cliche as you can get and it suffers from the same things as Seven Deadly Sins season 3 like not the greatest animation and character models look weird from time to time. Well the animation is still better than SDS s3

This show is the definition of a mixed bag. There's a pretty decent story in there, but they buried it under excessive fanservice, a failure to really explain some important worldbuilding elements, and a half-hearted conclusion. It feels like the show was put together by people with competing and not terribly compatible visions of what they wanted to produce. It's like it had three directors: one who wanted a pure fanservice show; another who wanted to tell an interesting story; and a third who wanted to make a shounen action flick. I have to stress that the fanservice is really really excessive. They should have cut 90% of it and done more worldbuilding exposition instead. Then there are the characters, who range from deep and complex to entirely forgettable cookie-cutter tropes. And yet... I'm not quite willing to say that you should totally skip this show. The story is quite unique and the twists and turns thereof are of real interest to people who like storytelling; and for the most part, the watching is enjoyable. Bottom line: If you're big into storytelling, this is probably one you should see just for its uniqueness; if you're looking for a great work of art this ain't it; if you're just looking for fanservice, it probably won't satisfy. "mixed feelings" perfectly suits how you're likely to view this show after you see it

tl;dr: An anime that starts off enjoyably light hearted and simple, but becomes a convoluted mess trying too hard to have depth. Firstly, I’d like to state that I in general do like Minazuki Suu works and downright loved Sora no Otoshimono, so I have no problem with there being a perverted protagonist or random and major shifts from serious to comedic. Now, I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt and just assume that the anime adapted the manga terribly, but to put it simply this anime is nothing like his other works and does a pretty bad job at pretty much everything. The anime starts off kind of feeling mostly like his other works. There are definitely some hints about there being some pretty dark things going on and that a serious story is going to pop up eventually, but it’s for the time being it’s just pretty light hearted with a very strong emphasis on comedy above all, with a heavy portion of that being related to the protagonist’s pervy antics. It introduces a lot of the main characters and begins some world building, though with most of the world building leading to more questions than answers. It feels somewhat slow at times, but it’s a pretty fun ride. This stage lasts for the first third or so of the anime, after which it changes dramatically, and its all downhill from there. It suddenly gets extremely dark in what felt like a major shift. As mentioned, other works by the original author also have major shifts like this, but they’re usually more reversible, having long lasting impacts on character development and such, but otherwise returning to the standard light hearted tone with the overall status quo only improving. This story is completely different. Once it starts going down that path, it changes completely, and though it does try to return to the light hearted tone at times, it just doesn’t work because it’s impossible to just ignore the dark elements of the plot that persist. Unlike the original author’s other works which seems to focus on characters over plot, this seems to have a much larger emphasis on the plot itself. Unfortunately, the plot just isn’t strong enough to support the anime. There are a lot of long term plot threads, lots of things left mysterious only to be revealed later, and lots of elements that end up seeming unimportant but become much more important later on. However, it feels like all of these are being made up on the spot. The explanation behind most plot elements feel incredibly forced, in that it has to try to write around a bunch of other stuff that contradicts it, and even then it still feels like there’s an abundance of gaping plot holes. Especially when it comes to anything involving the out of nowhere but incredibly important time travel arc which ended up having a large amount of straight up infodumping. It’s a complete and utter mess that feels like it’s changing direction constantly, and thus even if you’re willing to look past the inconsistencies, it’s hard to get into the plot enough to properly get invested in it and really want to know what happens next, which considering this is a plot focused anime is simply a critical flaw. I would also normally talk about the pacing here, but everything just seems so messy that I have no idea how to even begin to judge it. I will say that the pacing on action in the second half became pretty bad with some battles being over instantly, and others like the final battle feel like they were dragging on forever. The random plot also seems to screw things up with characters. It doesn’t feel like there’s any definitive vision of what the characters are supposed to be. Characters grow and change over stories of course, but here it just feels like the story didn’t really know what it wanted to do with characters and just gave them random roles, but then that didn’t work with where the story eventually needed to go, so the characters were turned into something completely different, but because the plot kept changing a lot the characters in turn end up changing a lot to. There’s no real sense of progression. Just character’s behaving really randomly and often what feels like absurdly. The end result is really inconsistent characterization, which combined with the fact that it feels like the plot itself treats most of the cast like garbage, makes it really difficult to get all that invested in any of the cast. This is especially prominent in the romance. Romance is actually a focus in this anime, and things actually make major progress over the course of the anime. But it isn’t satisfying at all because it doesn’t feel well built up to at all. I feel like this was originally going to be a harem series, but the plot changed halfway through, and instead became a normal romance where relationship drama is actually important and there are a bunch of different intertangled relationships developing which really did not flow well at all, and on top of that the anime is terrible at pretty much all relationship drama with essentially all of it being cringeworthily bad, and that’s coming from someone that has a really low bar when it comes to stuff like that. The art and animation were disappointing. The character designs and general art style are decent enough, but the art and animation were incredibly subdued and general not very nice to look at, and at times it felt like they were intentionally going out of there way to be so which makes no sense. The action also looked pretty bad at times. The soundtrack wasn’t particularly memorable but I suppose was decent enough. The first OP was somewhat interesting in how it changed in terms of visuals, but otherwise was only decent in terms of song and visuals. The second OP and both EDs were similarly decent in terms of both audio and visuals, but not particularly memorable.

It's laughable how this has an overall rating of 66%. I seen that a LOT on this site. It's gotten to the point where I know I'm going to like a romantic reverse harem anime if the rating's 6/10 or very slightly above. Take Diabolik Lovers or Meji Tokyo Renka for example The thing with anime, is that it's naturally expected that the viewers read between the lines to figure out what's going on and what the the true intentions were. If done well, that immersive tactic is the whole reason why anime's so enjoyable in the first place! Given that the show probably won't ever get a sequel, the staff did a great job with the overall story structure pacing and character development. The main character (MC) Hina, saw mother being pulled under since the number in her body reached 0. She then traveled for 5 years looking for the legendary Ace, when she met a traveling cafe owner named Nana. She was then molested by a sergeant pretending to be Ace. She was saved by the guy wearing a weird mask who was the real one all along. He protects her by pretending to possess something illegal. She chases after his carriage, then vows to find him. Ultimately the entire show's about how both of them help each other to gain the strength to overcome the trauma they've witnessed in their pasts. It's basically like a concise version of now Naruto and Sasuke helped each other in the original series. As for the ecchi part, the most scandalous thing you'll see is Nana's chest. If this show is worthy the ecchi category, then so is One Piece. Nami's "outfit" in the newer seasons and the disgusting Sanji is all I need to say. The character drawings were very similar to Attack on Titan's Which is the best compliment I can give it. I really enjoyed this show. And If you've gotten this far, please don't take everything on MAL seriously. This is basically a fan-made anime Wikipedia. Anyone can make a free account and edit the synopsis for the shows.

The short end of summarising this show is that Plunderer is an absolute mess of a narrative. A mysterious, magical, alien force called "Allthing" that governs contemporary society, time travel, "Ace" abilities that cover forces like speed, explosions, gravity, pursuit (etc), this show packs in just about every potential concept it can and it's all too much. The show is saturated with events and abilities and antagonists. Even the theme of the show can't decide whether it's really serious (moral dilemma's), shallow (MC with plot armour winning world wars without killing a single person) or a comedy that doesn't take itself seriously (The numerous cases of slap stick inserted at seemingly arbitrary points). I watched until the end, begrudgingly, because one of the shows few redeeming qualities were some of the character designs; and the fact that there were just so many mysteries presented at the beginning i felt like i needed to understand at least part of the show for some sense of closure. Normally this is where i'd point out the 1 or 2 plot holes and/or where the show could have improved its consistency or whether certain characters were believable or not, but i feel like there'd be no end to it. It's hard to even know whether the show was supposed to be satirical or not because the main character is so outrageously strong and full of cliché's there's almost a sense of meta or self-awareness, but it doesn't ever cash in on that absurdism. Only adding to the overall wishy-washy nature of the show. The Shounen style fights aren't bad, bar a few examples the character designs aren't terrible either. But the show has terrible pacing, rollercoasters through serious concepts and comedy from moment to moment, tries to incorporate too many "cool" concepts and fails to draw you in through the scattershot application of those ideas and by the end, although 90% of the whacky universe is finally explained why it is the way that it is, there's still no closure on the actual story. I finished the show out of sheer stubbornness on my part so honestly you're better off just not starting it at all because you'll have too many questions throughout the whole thing and have to sit through such mediocrity to find the answers.

This was a nice anime to watch because i like isekai animes where it is a completely different world compared to our own world. Story: The story itself isn't bad i liked it because everything in the anime isn't always what it seems just when you think you begin to understand the world of Alcia they completely change it on you then you begin to release the main plot of the anime and who the villain's are. Art: The art style itself isn't bad i like the fight scenes even though some of them are pretty fast paced and they do have a fair amount of the fight scenes. in the beginning the animation was good then as the anime went on they used animation designs that make the characters look childish and makes it seem kind of like a slice of life. Characters: The main character himself isn't bad he's always go happy and a pervert but obviously he's very sophisticated and has a pretty interesting back story as you find out the more you watch and has a struggle confronting his past. However the side characters themselves aren't bad, but eventually they do become for lewd and perverted especially the love interest if you're into fan service i guess. Overall: I really enjoyed this one because it's an isekai anime and plus the main character is the voice actor of Sanji from One Piece so i found it enjoyable plus with all the perverted stuff that happens it reminds me of one piece and feels normal since it is what Sanji does or tries to do. Especially the story you are left on a cliff hanger so I'm hoping for a season 2 coming soon to continue the story, i haven't seen anything, but you know about anything that's gonna happen with this anime please let me know.

I have no idea as to why I even bothered to finish this show. What started out as an interesting concept slowly turned into a shallow love story and even shallower world building. The forced love relationships this show tries to force on the viewer is simply uninteresting. This show boiled down to three things at the end of the day: boobs, groping said boobs, and backstories as an attempt to fill the holes on this ship. Don't watch this show, and don't bother to remember anything about this show either. It just doesn't exist, so let's keep it that way and wait for the next JoJos.

Okay. So this is my first time to write a review. So I will rate it by 8/10. The story is good but there's a lot of question that should be answered so I was hoping for season 2 to answered those questions. (Sorry for my grammar but I'll try my best to write my review about this anime). Anyway, I really enjoy the story and the characters but I'm kinda disappoint about the animation. The animation is kind of meh for me. So I hope in next season, they will improve it. So i will rate the animation by 7/10.

2/10 Absolutely one of the worst trash I've ever watched. What we expected? A unique and interesting story. What we got? A sexed up cringe-fest where each episode is even more cliche and nonsense than the last. I convinced myself it was worth watching because after all, it must be good enough to get 24 episodes right? Nope. I've found so many holes, random bs that doesn't make any sense and etc etc. Also, haven't heard Rihito say 'ore' a single time... His character is terribly flawed and he's a hypocrite molester that turns beta as soon as a woman makes a move on him. I was only able to grind to the end because I thought it would be over after a long 24 episodes... but there's no way I'm watching S2. Story: So many plotholes and inconsistencies. 3/10 -also, 7 magic balls that grant wishes? wtf man how cringe-copy can you get Art: I actually like the art for the most part. It's vibrant and smooth, except for the occasional wierd animations. 7/10 Sound: One of the worst OST ever. The cheesiest bgm instrumentals. 1/10 Characters: Mediocre at best. Almost always cringe-worthy. So many levels of stupidity and nonsense. 5/10 Enjoyment: It was dreadful. 2/10 Overall: 2/10

SOME MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD! Plunderer had this potential to be special with it's concept of numbers, and counts, but somehow it failed to do so, and I don't know how they messed it up so bad, it ended up being this crap shounen fantasy that trying to be dark fantasy but ends up with lots of fan service instead (WTF). I'd give it 5/10 really, but because of the potential it had, I give it 6/10 it's still watchable, but it's so over the place and there is clearly more to the story later on but probably we won't see it animated ever. Story: 7 it had a unique concept and world setting had something to it, but it got butchered later on, with a mix between modern and fantasy settings and introducing time travel and 10 episode in the past plus the rushed pace it got all mixed horribly, and we ended up with what we got, maybe the source material does better with the pace and comes out good but that's for another debate. Art: 5 for Plunderer which has a lot of OP characters and battles you'd think they'd put more effort into the animation but it's average at best, forget background details, even the main characters look bland, but it had some nice battles even if they were averagely animated Sound: 5 OST was okay I guess nothing memorable, and voice acting...I don't know , they didn't feel like they were into it that much, even the ''emotional'' scenes fell flat, partly fault on writing tho Characters: 6 characters were okay but lots of unnecessary background and side characters who didn't do much to the story, and the girls are made for fan service purposes most of the time. MC gets character development that it doesn't feel like character development...however I got to give credit for Jail's character, it got the best treatment out of the bunch. Enjoyment: 6 it was a weird ride, at times I felt excitement and often times felt let down can't say I didn't enjoyed it tho, just lots of disappointment but there were some good moments here and there! Overall: 6 if you care too much about writing, and plot holes then I don't recommend this for you, but if you into fan service, op MC and want a quick fix then you can check Plunderer out.

Plunderer first 3 episodes does not really feels like an great introduction, into the series, once you pass those it gets a bit interesting, then its feels like too much story at once then feels rushed at the end the pacing was a bit off could have fix with an extra 2 eps. The story is fair but cliche, no major twist some was predictable tho, when it comes to ecchi I think it was way too ecchi, like weird ecchi to point your like wth, trust me I've seen alot of ecchi anime and this one is just.... but anyways it was a good series

Plunderer Buena idea, mala ejecución y peores personajes Buena idea porque uno tarda en entender de qué tipo de mundo es en el que se desarrolla la historia. Al final resulta ser un mundo post apocalíptico. Plunderer tiene una historia que en principio resulta difícil de prever los giros que va a dar la historia. En principio parece una historia del típico protagonista badass que va de pueblo en pueblo enamorando chicas y siendo un maldito pervertido, ahí un punto que ni me agrado del todo, las burdas excusas que da este anime para que cada rato el protagonista ande viéndole la ropa interior a las chicas, para colmo conforme avanza la historia pasamos de que el prota sea un acosador a que la main heroine le pida sus favores .....y he ahí lo malo de este anime, sus personajes....si bien la trama y el elemento militar atrae .....el ecchi se manifiesta de una forma muy burda y directa que no causa gran gracia y se siente solamente como un elemento para mantener atraído al espectador y seguir viendo la historia

Plunderer (2020) Well, that was a long show of complete averageness. It started off a bit slow, then moved to a good arc with the military school then went back down again. In the end, we get a show that seemed more focused on filling the plot with ecchi scenes than progressing its plot properly. Ecchi works but in this kind of story-driven storyline, it needs to be developed more. Nothing about the show really screams out as inspiring, which is a shame when you think of the complexity of the world they live in. It is one that is full of mystery and has plenty of opportunities to develop into a great story. It, however, decided to not really focus itself as it went through leaving with some pretty lacking scenes. Even the finale has a final fight that was just dull. Especially when you go with a space that light cannot escape that is dark all around but perfectly lit in the middle. The art is difficult since it is generally a good standard that has some comedic styling that suits. It is however not very full of life in that I mean it doesn't really jump out as to make you want to focus on it. It is not a bad standard just lacklustre. The sound comes with an OK OP and ED. Sounds generally could have been a bit better but were pretty alright. Characters do develop a fair amount but how the development is handled is not the best. In the end, it comes down to coupling up style development. Hina is a great character as a waifu which is very much to the point as seen in the end. Sonohara is great but she randomly does things to which are not explained at all that blow continuity out of the window. Lyne is just a girl in love. Jail is a great one for his conviction to carry on. Pele could have been developed much more as there was time. Saki is the best girl of the show since she is perfect waifu material. Licht the main character that doesn't really excite you to see. Nana who is a great character and is deep. Her child look is adorable with the side ponytail. Everyone else sort of exists for a reason but also remain forgettable, to be honest. I would say overall the show was nothing compared to expectation and lead to a pretty average at best adaptation. I do not think personally it has done any favours in trying to spark interest in reading on. I imagine it could be renewed since anything goes nowadays. Personally, I am happy if it stays here as the end of its anime. 6/10

there was nothing special to start with...the idea of the count is kind of new but it feels like its done in one afternoon...the lines are pretty boring and like what is all the moral about frendships and all that stuff...and the ending is a classic cliche thats throwing all the story..its almost like a clean cut were u jump like 10 steps and just decide to do that..it dosnt makes sense at all..dosnt connect with the idea that this anime started with.Its a failure transformation from a lonely main character that was fighting almost alone an entire war to protect hes friend and he gets traumatized for almost 300 years..then what?he met a random girl and in the decours of a few weeks/months(i dont know because there is no changing in the weather,climate or whatever) the anime starts to shift over a few stages of a normal relation between 2 people and begins a soap opera.Also like every single cliche since ever there are 3 boys and 3 girls so they make 3 couples over a single episod..like were is the development of the of the story?were is actualy that turn around?they just start doing random thinks from one episod to another.At the end the only thing i can say it remained the same as at the start was the part with the food war and the count and other that,there are just some mediocre ideas throwed at a piece of paper
