This anime at least tries to do something different. But it seems to have only gotten a shoestring budget. And sadly it falls on its face as a result. I liked the steam-punkie vibe to this. The characters' art designs were OK; nice background work. While not terrible, it's easy enough to see where the animation was sub-par. Most of this is cheaply rendered 2D CG. There is some 3D thrown in as well. But frankly, it is done clumsily at best. The animation really hurts this title immensely. The story seemed to have an interesting premise, but there isn't enough time alotted to fleshthis out into something complete. What little world building was accomplished was interesting. The MC, while pleasant enough, is hardly striking. It seems to be a 2 episode pilot, slapped together, hoping for some financial backing to keep it going. It failed in that regard.
The title would have needed Google Maps to find its way home. But it never got a GPS signal. If I was grading it, I'd somewhat sadly give it a 59/100. It's barely a failing grade. If they'd only put a little bit more care into this, it might have been reasonably acceptable. I'd say try it at your own risk.
