Well, the animation is certainly as good as the ads led us to believe, however the same was true with SAO and look at how A1 has slacked off since. But there's one big difference between the two shows -- as good as the animation was in the first episode of SAO, the direction was completely pedestrian, whereas here it feels like the director is auditioning for KyoAni or SHAFT.
As for the story, though ... I can't say that it hooked me. The world and characters seem interesting so far, but I have the feeling we're going to get several episodes of world building before the plot kicks in. |

Doing experimental (or when it comes to this, "original") stuff is a rather big deal when it comes to Japan, I think. Breaking the norms is not something that is encouraged, at least.
I would love to see another visually unorthodox show being commercially successful, but I think the success will be limited to rave reviews. (The above is just my admittedly pessimistic speculation premised on the belief that the visual style presented in the pictures posted here continues.)

I don't think the show is THAT experimental, the most out there thing is the total lack of shading, which is something that doesn't really annoy much people.
What I think, however, is that the show looks totally gorgeous. The animation is okay, I'd say above average even, and we're probably going to get many sakuga cuts, but the tone of the show takes the cake here. It's also very nicely directed, I liked the storyboard, it gave the dialogue segments more dynamism and created a comfortable pace. |
