This anime is unexceptional in any way but is passable fare. Given the rules of this fantasy world, everything is consistent. The characters are engaging but somewhat shallow. Don't expect any backstory or explanation for why the characters find themselves in the situation that they find themselves. The pacing is consistent enough to keep you engaged but season one ends unsatisfactorily, just like it was just another episode with lots of action but little consistent direction. The music track is consistent with the anime quality which is a little lower than the Japanese norm. Still overall, a great time waster if there's nothing else on.... And the girls are cute. North Americans will be the most likely to find engagement as there a no plot challenges, requirements to think or reflect, and little drama, in spite of the carnage. Just good old fashioned action not requiring an explanation or reason for being.
