ONE OF THE WORST ANIME I'VE WATCHED. I'm being serious here. Basically it's about the journey of our mc and the heroine to collect 12 swords (1 episode=1 sword). So what makes it terrible in my opinion? First off let's start with the action, even though it's an action anime it's actually 95% dialogue 5% action, are you hoping for an epic fight? then you shouldn't watch this anime because it doesn't exist here, the enemies got defeated very easily (sometimes it doesn't even shown on screen, yes it's that ridiculous). But I might still be able to accept that (since I really liked Zetsuen no Tempestwhich in some episodes is even 100% dialogue). What makes it the worse is that I can't even connect to the story, I found it hard to have any emotional attachment to it since the mc is abstain from having human emotions (even though he developed later on I still can't relate to him). It also failed to make me interested enough to the side characters (the maniwani is so BS they served almost no purpose to the story) and I doesn't even care what happens to them.

Romance? Can't feel it either. The relationship between the characters feel so weak and unnatural. The only good thing about this anime is the interesting designs of the characters.

Now let's move on to the worst part, it's the ending which is SO FREAKING TERRIBLE, I won't give spoilers but you would feel like what you felt after finishing episode 2, "it ends just like that?", "what's even the purpose of the story" ,"I wasted my time" is what I thought after finishing the last episode. Still can't understand how this anime got such high ratings on MAL, their high rating is what kept me going on (since I thought something good would happen later on) even though I'm on the verge of dropping it . This is the first time I give a rating much lower than on MAL (usually it's pretty close) and I'm soo disappointed (feels like the good reviews were just trolls).
