Review of Kyousougiga

Story - To me it feels like one of those very anime-like stories I don't care for where it's less about the actual telling of events or actual things happening and more about having a scene where someone cries and feeling emotions. I just don't really jive with that kind of media so for me it just didn't do much. I didn't feel very attached to any of the characters, not that they were unlikable or bad but most of them are so one note or bland that I just didn't feel an attachment to them as people. A little more humanity all around wouldhave helped elevate it a lot I think.

Art - The one thing this anime does quite well is show off a beautiful and consistent style. It makes me wish everything else was as good but it never felt like it cheapened out or had to cut things for budget. From beginning to end it looked very beautiful and was a lot to behold. the one saving grace keeping this anime from getting a much lower score.

Sound - I simply cannot recall much of the music at all. There was no theme that stood out for the show, or the characters, or anything I can really recall. The opening and credits have already left my mind as well. The sound effects were all serviceable, I noticed one or two stock sounds but not many. The voice actors seemed to be quite competent and good, notable a favorite of mine Chief Priest is voiced by Yao, Kazuki who has too many credits to list. Overall though, nothing all that special and about what you'd expect.

Character - I said so before but basically none of the characters are terrible but neither are any of them very interesting or relatable to me. That said, none of them are consistently annoying enough to bother me so it could be worse. I just wish they all had a little more development so when anything happened to them I cared in the slightest.

Enjoyment - I've seen far worse and it was a short anime so I can't complain a lot. A few episodes in I kind of realized how it would probably end and was waiting for it to be over. It could have been a lot more painful though.

Overall - In my opinion it has so much wasted potential. Had it built the story up more, the characters had more conflict or humanity, the music given some more attention, it could been easily a 9 or even 10. Not necessarily bad but I won't be watching it again any time soon nor will I be recommending it. All I can really say by the end of Kyousou Giga is "I watched it. It was pretty alright."
