Review of Land of the Lustrous

Visually, this is some of the best CGI i've ever seen in anime, the characters are expressive, with their movements feeling very natural and character designs that compliment the animation style Worldbuilding is simple but effective, allowing a lot of freedom to play around with the psychedelic vibe the show has However, this is a very clear case of style over substence The gems personalities are quite stereotypical with little developement to them, this along with the weak storyline make the moments of darkness and psychological torment feel more like shock factor and melodrama I feel like there was some wasted potential, the stunning visuals that could've been usedto accentuate a story come off more as an art gallery showcasing new animation techniques

Overall something to watch if you don't want to think much and jsut relax(ish) in front of the shining screen, if this is your thing there's a few very adorable moments in this anime you should not miss
