Ars no kyojû

This anime is another DMM's production, a company that unfortunately fails in making a successful production. The same company who delivered the anime that no one asked 'Rent a Girlfriend' and also produced one of the dumbest anime of 2022: Shinobi no Ittoki. They spent a good budge on each production, on this one in special, you have great voice actors, great music, and the animation and cgi is good. But fails in delivering an attractive story.

The first trailers were great (that's something DMM is really good in making, trailers! They are really specialized in producing good baits), by watching the first trailer I expected something more tragic and with more action and blood like Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan). But the actual story is the basic pokemon style: 'start a journey around and meet new friends'. At the moment 6 episodes have been released, but it's already enough to decide if it's a worth story or not. The plot until now is very slow, they are just traveling around without a clear mission, while the bad guys are still plotting something and you have one giant monster appearing per episode only for the sake of the action to see the mc transforming into something like a super-sayajin.

Overall, the story is confusing, I still don't clear understand what the "baddies" are planning, Jiro and Kuumi can be likable characters, but their traveling partners are just plain and boring. If DMM wants to make a hit, they really need to hire better writers, otherwise they will just keep spending money in producing bad stories with good visuals.
