Guys! Bad CG is being attacked by bad CG


So far it has been a bumpy ride with an average experience but with an interesting premise to catch my attention...until episode 4 kicks in and boom! boost things up.

However, episode 1 was uninspiring and almost a disaster, almost if it wasn't for that cliffhanger for episode 2. Uninspiring because everything felt plain and the execution bumpy, some parts were correctly delivered and others rushed.

Episode 2 and 3 followed the same path but taking away the uninspiring part from the plot...and adding it to the action scenes. The development was still bumpy and the productions's budget was left more on shame, not on an extreme level but still noticeable that it wasn't enough to correctly deliver the stale action scenes but it made it up with the premise's development

Then episode 4...wait what? that really happened? wut are you saying? but I tought she was the girl? wait what dafuq he did? so what future is this? was that really a flashback? why the loli looks like an anime version of Alma? and why she is manipulating the ti...no the universe? Mage still Mage?

Despite that it still had the bumpy execution as a flaw, the major cards were set on the table and the "leaps through time" tag was finally on almost full display. And it wasn't introduced abruptly since it was being teased from episode 1 but now more fully on display that such premise is part of the plot.

Now I have to wait almost a month to see what is next...he...he...at first I tought this was a good idea since I can binge literally 1/5 of the season and then put on hold while waiting for Japan to catch up by giving others shows I'm interest a try but episode 4 was so down in my ally that now I'm dying to know what is next.

Anyway, so far it's biggest sins are a bumpy script, average ost along with the production and, of course, the first episode. Even thought episode episode 4 was an improvent the flaws of the previous episodes were still there and I do not think they would be fixed in the next, let say, four episodes but I hope the plot's premises will get better base on the good impression episode 4 left.

As expected, the premise got better, the plot as well. But what I did not expect is that they would improve some of their mistakes...and add new ones. :imstupid:

The production seem that improved and it reached it's peak until certain scene, the thing is after that scene the production juggled from decent to laughable and the execution of the storyline was not as bumped as before but felt something was lacking. On the other hand the action scenes were not as stale as the previous episodes and the anime still manage to keep the tension with the enigmatic plot about time (and space) travel but still needs to work on it's storytelling, this episode was a baby-step of improvement of that but still a way to go.

The premise keeps getting better but the way is executed is still not giving it justice and let alone the drop on production quality from an already average value.

How the time travel work's explanation was good and the new elements for the story development introduced were intriguing...but it's treatment was really superficial. Is not as bumpy as before (#thankgod) but is just now hollow most of the time, the pillars are there but not used deep enough to made them shine.

Pretty much everything is still going as I predicted so far, the premise keep improving but it's treatment not.

The storytelling improved a lot compared to past episodes but still missing some stuff to take it to the next level.

Now the execution of the plot wasn't as bumpy nor rushed and was on the right pace, I would even say this would had left a better impression as a first episode rather than the actual episode one. However, the action secuences still stale, the production ain't helping on improving that and there are still some hollow aspects, like Yuri's character and Mage at some point which I suppose will be explored on future episodes.

There are some actual improvements this but they may had came too late and are not enough to make up for the first half.

The plot is definetely being treated better than before but is not enough to make up for the first half and let alone coming so late.

 

This time there was more tension and mistery than before and even managed to surprise me, another thing is how there was some Donna´s character background building and thus not making her the typical one-dimensional enemy. But the action scenes still stale as ever and the plot was so badly treated on the first half that right now the improvements are leaving that fact more clear than before.

 

However, the premise is what still got me to watch the anime, but at this rate I can accept the fact that Crunchyroll drop the first four episodes on advance was a huge factor to watch the series until now.

I'm surprised, this was an actual good episode of RErideD.

For starters it delegated the spotlight to Videux's backstory than the Sci-fi themes and nailed all it's objectives storytelling wise. It presented a solid development and resolution, even the action scenes were entertaining (omg...). Moreover the main premise was treated way better than before despite appearing at the end of the episode. However, production wise...was average at best.

This is the best episode so far, but is late to make up for the #mess of before.

Is sad that the show is finally delivering solid performance when is about to end, which led to the suspicious that the ending will be rushed. The introduction Donna´s origin was perefectly executed, and pretty much the strongest storyline of the show so far, the production improved a lot, the actions scenes were amazing tha cliff-hanger thrilling...really, why it took this long to be in shape?

ok, what happened here? The last two episodes were two steps forwrd but this one is five steps backwards.

 

The beginning, despite the feeling of something missing, but after that it went down to south, but the higlight of this trainweck was how Donna sidestory was dealt, rushed and hollow after that great flashback on last episode.

 

The show was shaping to at least a decent finales, but this last episode blew away all the efforts of the previous good episodes.

Ok, this was...something, I expected much but much worse.

 

As expected they threw all the answers at the last moment but can´t say it was handled well, it was not as bad as previous episodes but still, bumpy. On the other hand the production really blow up, in a good sense., this was a well animated, drawn and thus produced episode.

 

Overall, this show had an interesting premise but it was treated so bad that i's redeemables qualities are minimal, really minimal (episodes 10 & 11).
