My third Review is about Houseki no Kuni which is a tale about immortal Gems that live in a world where the Lunarians(beeings from the Moon) are collecting them as a ressource and how are the Gems dealing with it as a group In Terms of Story Writing it did a lot of things good like the character development which is characterized by the fact that although many characters are introduced everyone has its benefits. In Addition the Story progressed in a good way so that everyone understands it even through at the end questions that i asked myself stayed unanswered(here i hope for asecond season)

Story: 9/10

Even through I'm not a big fan of CGI because Berserk 2017 disturbed me for the rest of my Life this Anime had one of the best and i really hope this techniqe will have some impact on the industry as a whole.It had good fights which really are enjoyable and because of the 3D it felt more realistic
A little critic at the Animation and I know that the Characters are done like that as a stylistic way but sometimes the Character Animation out of fights seemed goofy.

Sound: 9/10
The Opening and ending were solid and fitting the atmosphere but
Especially the feudal japan alike music really picked me up through its chilling and melancholic tone.

Characters: 10/10
Like i said before the Characters are really the Point of this show and through its vareity of Gems everyone finds characters to like.
In Addition because of the way they were intruduced and developed you really have empathy for them even through they are immortal gems.

Enjoyment: 10/10

I really liked the anime not only because I'm a fan of fantasy alike anime but also of great animation and well developed storys with good musicial backgrounds
Each episode had its magic moments and through the good animation and chilling vareity of colors i felt entertained.

Overall: 9/10

to summerize the whole show i would say that if you have a thing for fantasy storys with a chilling and melancholic way of telling a story you should watch it even if you are not a fan of CGI.
