Well, I have to admit that the series fell short in several aspects. The story's rough on the edges and the staff seems struggling in some episodes. I wouldn't blame them entirely for that, though. All they had to work with by the time the series was green-lit was one volume of the original light novels, so they had to make a series that (a) adapts the light novels, and (b) may allow a sequel.

That said, the series shows what KyoAni shines in: the portrayal of action scenes was promising at best, and the sights and sounds of the anime was at par with something you'd expect from KyoAni.

You should give it a try. Just don't expect a polished gem of a series.
