Review of Land of the Lustrous

After hearing so many good things and seeing so much beautiful fanart, I was pumped for this series. The dazzling sparkles, the petite structures; I needed to watch these amazing diamond/crystal featured characters ASAP. While I started to watch it I noticed it was a "slower" pace anime. What I mean is that everything happened in the story very, very slowly it seemed. From there all things broke through. The story plot was very weak. The characters were "cookie cutter" characters, same bodies but with different hair and eyes. No true backgrounds of any of the characters were really explored. No answers about what ishappening was actually answered. It kind of just seemed like a mess. I noticed this halfway through, but gave it a shot due to the amount of great credit this anime received from it's fans. Honestly though, it was nothing special. And I'm really disappointed by that..

I have to say though I still admire the character creations and the initial concept. The characters essentially being crystals/diamonds with the beautiful appearances. That I love and will most likely create fanart for as well. But, this anime could have taken it so much deeper and I really wished it had. I really was hoping for something magical..
