I went into the donghua completely blind, no clue about the world, the characters or a hint of plot points. Now 25 episodes later, I still don't know what just happened.
First and foremost, great animation, character design and music is fine.
!! BUT the pacing of the story makes it basically unwatchable. You are just constantly trying to catch up with what or why anything happens.
You barely get introduced to any character before they disappear even on the same episode as introduced, you get no connection to any character, the world is also not explained. I dont need exposition dump, but not even a half sentence

First things first,
Thank you so much KyoAni for the World Premiere Screening on AnimagiC, Germany. Simply put, the story is like a very long version of a typical Violet Evergarden Episode, where this time Violet considers someone as her first real friend. Animation is like every KyoAni movie breath taking and in comparison to the TV-series, there is slightly no difference. As for the soundtrack, there is some old very recognized ones as well as some new tracks. Main and support characters are presented or mentioned, with also a lot of references from the TV-Series. Overall, very good story, animation and soundtracks. ... |
