Review of Big Order (TV)

There is a lot bad things being said about Big Order anime, and while many of them are true, I believe it's hated more than it deserves. Why? I'll try to explain it in this review! Story: Weakest and, in a way, strongest point of Big Order. First of all, take a look at the genre: action shounen. It's not another Mirai Nikki, and while synopsis and even first episode kinda sell it as something more psychological, it is not. It's action anime and if you expect anything more, you will be seriously disappointed. Saying it's rushed would be a huge understatement. Things happen too fast with toofew explanations, leading to plot holes, illogical developments and deus ex machina solutions.
On the other hand it's interesting and unique. The story managed to keep me interested through whole anime and some twists even surprised me - and I don't mean unpredictable ones caused by the lack of explanations earlier in the story. Conflict, while chaotic and, again, lacking deeper explanation, makes one wonder who is right. By the last episode I wasn't sure if protagonist is doing the right thing - that is a huge plus for me.
In the end I believe all the shortcomings of the story are coming down to time and pacing. If this anime had 26 episodes and everything was explained and developed before progressing further, I'm sure we'd be talking totally differently about Big Order now.

Art/Sound:
When it comes to graphics, Big Order is doing fine. Nothing special - it just looks good, with some better and worse moments. Though big minus for censored bath episode!
Now, sound is where it gets good. Music is nice, sure, but what's more important is using it during episodes. So often all the music in anime is limited to OP and ED, I just can't ignore when music starts playing in middle of episode! While it could be played more often and we could also use more variety, it's still very good.

Characters:
Similar situation to what I wrote about story - not enough time, not enough development, not enough explaining. Yes, they are interesting. Damn, I'd even say they were great characters, especially Rin with her yandere/tsundere mix, but with how rushed everything was, I can only say "wasted potential".

Enjoyment:
I'm not sure how I would feel if I watched it while airing, but doing it my usual way - by watching all at once - I wasn't bored even for one second, which for me qualifies it as an enjoyable anime. It might not be some piece of art, but it serves its purpose of burning free time perfectly and ends in a way that leaves watcher satisfied.
