100% a game tie in. Let's get this straight. If you don't play the game, you're not going to get any of this, and you shouldn't watch it. I didn't play the game, and I shouldn't have watched it. It's (from what I've gathered) based on a mobile game featuring, well, the story written in the synopsis. Well, this anime doesn't do anything with said plot, instead focusing on the characters and showing the various hijinks they do. There isn't really a story beyond "cute girls do X thing". If you weren't already invested, it'd be a waste of time. Yet, I have to rate it accordingto its merits. While the story was non-existent (by design), and characters mostly unmemorable, it did have cute character designs, and *excellent* sound, to the point I'd say it's wasted on an anime like this. The animation was standard to above average.

When you talk about game tie-in animes, you can make it work. FGO Babylonia and Camelot exemplify this. Their stories stand on their own, and you can care about the characters in those anime without ever having touched the source material.

But those are without a doubt, the golden standard. What hamstrings Tenka even more is the 3-minute episodic format that takes away any potential for it to stand on its own merit. While the staff executed what they could do well, it simply couldn't compensate for the structural failings of an already hard to pull off category.

3 for story. (Given it's non-existent/uninteresting) 7 for Art. 9 for Sound. 5 for Characters. 4 for enjoyment. (Though I appreciate the fact this could be much higher had I had been a player of the game).

Overall, a 6.
