Review of Hortensia SAGA

I gather more proof every day that the people in here have no clue what makes a good show. The fact this one has this low a score is another piece of evidence.Im close to building a case at this point. Now don't get me wrong, this isn't some hidden masterpiece with some pseudo science that nobody understands . It's actually quite a simple premise, a linear plot and for the most part it's predictable. But none of these actually make this show a failure. Because it does what it sets out to do extremely well. And the animation isn't half bad either. Characters are notvery complicated, but they are solid and well enough fleshed out. As much as you could with this quite big number of characters in a short 12 episodes without sacrificing story or narrative. And before most of these special powers get introduced , most of the action keeps a certain level of realism. Like all the blows that put down fighters in armor happen to the weaker side of the armor around the neck and stuff. The one time villain priest also has a logical motivation and all his actions are made sense of as well.... It's just a solid anime overall. Of course , i really got annoyed at the end before the final reveal, but that redeemed the end as well.

Ignore the score, and give it a watch. Im glad i did the same. It's a solid experience . Just don't expect a masterpiece of any kind and you'll enjoy it.
