Review of Luck & Logic

This is an anime used to advertise a card game, or so I hear. As an ad for a card game, I feel like this anime falls flat. As a piece of entertainment, I say it was good. Yes, there were some parts where I was tempted to drop the anime, but Luck & Logic is not as bad as people like to say it is. It's still sub-par, but its not that below the average. It was hard for me to get interested in the story. It essentially uses the "retired badass comes out of retirement" plot. It appears our protagonist mentally crippled himself ina past exploit that we will never hear about ever again. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for this retired badass story. It just feels like a let down. Potential gone.

Story: 4/10

Art wise, I'm no experienced critic in this aspect, so as long as it doesn't look like what OreTwi's TV animation looked like, then I'm generally lenient (don't get me wrong OreTwi is great in my opinion, but the animation was bad before they corrected it).

Holographic bits an pieces looked cool, but some fight sequences looked a bit different from the normal animation. This threw me off a few times, especially in the later half of the anime.

Art: 6/10

Sound. No expert on this either, but I thought it was great. The soundtrack is composed by Tatsuya Kato (I believe he did Shokugeki no Souma too). From experience, his work is usually something worth listening to. I liked it.

Sound: 8/10

For the characters, Yoshichika (MC), I feel is an exaggeration of the "cookie cutter" main character. Retired badass, check. Mysterious girl shows up offering a contract, check. Goes into first battle and begins to take command, check. Quick to jump to conclusions, check. I love his hair though.

Olga is another character I find memorable enough to mention. He starts off looking like this sinister anti-villain/villain type character that everyone avoids mentioning. MC decides to pry then it is revealed that Olga just has a severe case of chuunibyou. The only thing he seems to be good for is his predictions, which are nearly always accurate. What I like him for is that he gets serves as the straight man to our crazy cast at times. Also, he gets massive development during the last arc. Good character in an average anime.

Other characters are, like the MC, very "cookie cutter" style. Mysterious veteran squad leader. Formal, power by merit girl who gets shown up by MC in second episode. The "Don't worry, Bros I got this" character. Silent sniper. Immortal immaturity. The cute and cuddly girl. Other than MC and Olga, the characters seem to be very common fare, aside from the MC's family(fairly minor characters generally used for comedy).

Characters: 6/10 (because Olga carried this category)

Overall, this anime is a fairly good. Your millage may vary though, due to the abusurd amount of stock/static characters, and fluctuation of plot. There is a harem anime joke in the middle of the anime that really caught my attention though. I like those types of jokes quite a bit, sadly that's the most memorable part of the third quarter of Luck & Logic.

Enjoyment: 6/10

My thoughts. Again. It's not as bad as an anime could be. Scarred Rider Zechs was worse (Just the name of a random anime I dropped). Luck & Logic isn't unwatchable, per se. However, I've mentioned before that there are arcs that make you feel like you want to drop it. It was likeable.

OVERALL: 7/10
