Ahoy~! Yo dayo! Hi Honeyby the plethora of memes, references, and shitposts packed into each short segment. Watching each Elite episode makes you feel like your tripping on a heavy dose of Asacoco, and it’s frickin amazing!

Oh, and if you think that the girls lack “depth” or “complexity”, all I have to say to you is NAAAAAAAAAA. For example, Suisei’s story is a heartwarming tale about never giving up. She spent a long time being unnoticed and was even rejected by Hololive once. But she persevered and put in the effort to rise in talent and popularity. Now she shines for thousands like a comet in the night sky. Other members like Watame and Kanata have also had obstacles in their lives that seem incredibly daunting, but they always keep their positivity and push forward. May I remind you that these idols are real people. They’re actually pretty inspirational.

Hololive is also an educational experience too. Crazy, right? I’ve learned more Japanese from watching 6 months of Hololive than 6 years of anime. I’ve been enlightened by words such as Yametekudastop and 草. I’ve also learned how to differentiate between ducks and swans, chickens and phoenixes, and a variety of other animals. Truly life changing.

Just remember, these episodes are short comedy skits, so when you see the multitude of overwhelmingly positive scores towards Holo no Graffiti, don't think that it's because there's a well thought out or deep narrative in place here. In fact, most episodes are a convoluted mess of insanity. But that's what makes it so fun. Seeing these idols just having a blast and being crazy together is a joy to watch, and if you're a fan of Vtubers or are interested in them, I'd definitely suggest giving this a try.

a

And one more thing.

Make sure to go and watch the girls’ actual channels! They provide a crap ton of enjoyable content covering a variety of fields that just about anyone can enjoy. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your fall down the rabbit hole!

Alright, so, just to preface, this review is coming from someone who hasn't really watched much hololive stuff. I've seen a few clips here and there on YouTube (As most of us have at this point, it's inescapable.) but I haven't exactly dedicated any time to watching full streams or remembering many of the members' names. With that out of the way, here's my review of what I've seen of this little anime. Story - 1 There basically is no story, as each short is a disconnected gag. The stories in the individual episodes are barebones at best, but I understand that this isn't really something youought to rate on its story, so I'm not going to really go into detail here.

Art - 5

It's always nice to see 3d anime, but this one is nothing to write home about. The character designs are nice for each character, if not a bit overdesigned (However that's just nitpicking). The animation is very rough, with complex movements looking awkward, but they keep it snappy enough with lots of things going on that you may not notice it. The backgrounds are mostly either plain colors or seemingly cheap 3d models, but with all of the other things going on this is also hard to notice unless you're paying a lot of attention to detail.

Sound - 5

The only thing that stood out about this anime's sound was the near-constant sound effects and music. While I understand that it's a fast-paced ONA comedy series based on vtuber streamers, this was jarring.

Character - 3

Again, I'm not experienced with hololive. if you're a regular fan, you'll probably love all of the jokes which I don't get. Each episode seems to have a different combination of characters, which keeps it visually interesting.

Enjoyment - 1

I didn't ever feel any particular attachment to these characters, settings, dialogue, etc. It was an experience, but not exactly one that resonates with me, or probably anyone who doesn't really care about hololive.

Overall - 1

I decided to write this review as a different perspective than from what a lot of the hololive fans are saying. I can recommend this to just about nobody other than people who like hololive, or have nothing else to do. If you don't like that stuff - just find something else to watch. Hololive fans though, go for it!

The best work of the aniem of the history, each chapter is a unique experience in which the problems of our current society are explored with good exposition. All the characters have development arcs, good characterization and all are endearing, despite this I feel that the ones that stand out the most are Okayu for his revenge and redemption arc, I also highlight Korone despite his tragic past he manages to walk again thanks to the corpse of the holy body and to Watame who at first did not want to get on the Eva but thanks to her companions she manages to overcome thedepression that tormented her, or also Haachama who discovers that war is not the solution and decides to follow the path of peace and although She knows that this ideal is impossible, she prefers to try rather than follow the cycle of hate, all the characters are good but these were my favorites. In addition, the production is at the height of mega-productions of Ghibli. An absolute masterpiece.

While as Hololive (JP, ID, EN included; CN Star excluded) is eventually invincible, Nijisanji should be thrown into the trashtank of VTB history. This masterpiece of holo art explains itself why people from all over the globe love these girls and pay money they've been saveing during dire pandemic depression. Thank you, Cover. You guys made my dim, hopeless everyday life a little brighter and gave me courage to move on. In the field of virtual idol animation, Yagoo and Holo have done their best. The performance of single episode that is full of effort, the balance and completion of the whole story is light, and the effortsof the paintingteam are visible to the naked eyes. Although the subject matter is limited and there are a lot of slots, it is already king and good enough. At least at the moment the director is a god.

l just saw an idol fan when I opened the webpage. I have a high degree of confidence in characterization and emotions, which make it almostimpossible to watch other idol fans in the future.

Ok, so I'm not exactly a fan of Hololive; Not that I have anything against it or v-tubers in general, I just never got into it. I have a vague understanding of some of the more popular characters from memes and stream clips, but I've never sat through one of their streams. I do, however, have an Hololive-obsessed friend who showed me a few of these and now that this show has been added to MAL I am bound by the competitionest's curse to see this through to the very end. Story: I'd like to say that there is no real story holding theepisodes together, but seeing as 22 episodes are privated and unavailable as of this post, there could be some light continuity that I am unaware of. The comedy can be pretty hit-or-miss, but I like the way it hits when it does. The jokes are often snappy and some of the references were just obscure enough to give me a brief sense of satisfaction.

Art: The models themselves look pretty good and that's to be expected; after all, they were carefully and thoughtfully designed to be visually entertaining enough to keep one's attention for hours on end. However, the backgrounds and props are an entirely different story. They are often low polly, poorly textured, and downright ugly. This is often used to heighten comedic effect, but that isn't enough for me to count it as a net positive. The animation can also be very sloppy at times.

Sound: There are many episodes in which I notice slight differences in microphone quality. This drives me absolutely nuts. Also, I think some of these girls just aren't cut out for doing voices in scripted media.

Character: Holo no Graffiti is carried entirely by its characters and that's to be expected. After all, they're the reason why everyone (other than myself) is probably watching this show. There is no character development (let alone arcs), but this is one of those times where I'm completely ok with that. Each character carries with them their own chunck of the Hololive lore, and while I'm not exactly familiar with them I still find them pretty neat for that reason.

Even as an outsider to the Hololive Fandom, I'm having a pretty good time with this show. I still don't see myself becoming an avid Hololive fan anytime soon, but I'll admit that my interest has been piqued. If anyone has a link to a place where I can watch the 20-or-so privated episodes, I would greatly appreciate it if you'd send it my way. While you're at it, pitch your favorite v-tuber to me if you want.

I´ve seen a lot of series, but specifically this one is such an amazing work, i really can't believe how this is that good, every time i see a episode from Holo no Graffiti there is a smile in my face that I can't get rid of, all the episodes are just as good, all the characters are so deep that they even have their own Youtube's channels, is that good that a whole life wouldn't be enough to watch all the content that hololive has to offer. I am so happy that this series is in the place that it deserves, thereare so many things that make Hololive no Graffiti so good that if I had to name them, I would never finish writing this review.

Quick note: This is my first review ever, I really don't know how to write these things but here we go (and sorry for my bad english). This is really amazing show and it really fills me up with happiness everytime new episode come out First thing: you should really watch streams first, before diving into Holo no Graffiti. I will talk about Japanese hololive members because there's no English or Indonesian ones in Holo no Graffiti. But ofc, all of them are good! For those who doesn't know what is this: Basically, hololive is agency, group, one big family ♥️(once you "fall down the rabbit hole" you willunderstand this sentence trust me ;) ).

Simply said: cute anime girls, streaming all kinds of content on youtube.

They are sorted by generations (from oldest to newest hololive members, there's currently 5 generations + Hololive Gamers - more on that later).

They are all adorable and there is a content for everyone.

"Where should I start?" Well...

Here's some recommendations, as simple as possible:

- Feeling depressed? Watch Shirakami Fubuki/Korone Inugami/Usada Pekora

- Feeling ho*ny... MOTIVATED*? Watch Houshou Marine or Natsuiro Matsuri

- Feeling brave? Watch Akai Haato aka Haachama (on your own responsibility)

- Want to learn some magic? Watch Murasaki Shion

- Craving for cuteness? Watch Uruha Rushia, Minato Aqua, Shirakami Fubuki...well, EVERYONE.

- Memes and tights? Watch Kiryu Coco

- Gaming? Even tho everyone of them started playing video games, there's a generation, made especially for gaming, Hololive Gamers, including: Inugami Korone, Nekomata Okayu, Shirakami Fubuki and Ookami Mio.

Everyone is really good at music too!

Some tips: Don't try Haachama's food and don't call Rushia "pettan", call her "boing boing" ;) . But most important of them all... DON'T lewd the d o g.

Once again, I really recommend you all to watch streams before diving into these shorts aka Holo no Graffiti.

I really hope this review was helpful to some of you!

Almost forgot, happy new year and welcome to the rabbit hole! ♥️

If they're going to list this as a serious anime I'm going to review it as one. They won't allow non-japanese anime but somehow this garbage heap qualifies as an anime? Okay then. Story-1 There is no story. It's just a bunch of girls making "cute" random noises and screaming. There is no narrative. As many of the hololive fans pointed out, it is simply an acid trip, and you won't enjoy it if you expect anything else. Art-1 Animation who? These are just stiff, wobbly, 3D models. Who puts effort into animating an anime? It would be cool if they actually animated the girls into an actual anime,but they didn't.

Sound-1

The girls microphones frequently peak and it is very grating on the ears, especially because their voices are so high pitched. Please, for the love of god, someone hire an actual sound engineer to help them, it's painful.

Characters-1

Moe appeals to some people. I am not one of those people. Everything that comes out of their mouths is unfunny babyish babble. It's not cute, it's not funny, it's just annoying.

Enjoyment-1

The jokes of hololive generally amount to "cute girl was tricked into saying something raunchy once by the live chat". With no live chat, there is no humor. It's just random moeblobs doing what moeblobs do best; nothing.

Overall-1

Save yourself and never watch this. God is dead and we have killed him.

If you're not a hololive fan, you probably confuse why this thing got 8.46 score and beating anime like Madoka Magica for example. As a hololive fan in the past, me too! Story: 1/10 Anime without story is fine. That's common in CGDCT which I like. This is one of anime where story doesn't mean everything too and I'm pretty sure lot of people can agree on that. However, can they please bring something that make some sense and not just random thing? This is like "Hey, this idea sound fun let's do it quick it's near our deadline now". In the end, you will just askingyourself "what the fuck is going on" because it's so confusing.

Art: 3/10

I think this is expected when you just animating their model like that instead of redraw it like traditional method(?). It's actually fine when you think about it. It's however far away from other anime around here and don't deserve to have nice score on this part compare to other. Hololive Alternative look insanely nice though and I'm looking forward to see that but for now, this is all I can give for art score.

Sound: 5/10

Nothing interesting but nothing gone wrong. No complain but it's just average. Actually, I don’t see a need to put something special into it either. It give me feeling of fandub though but nothing wrong with that I guess.

Character: 6/10

Saying "I don't understand character because I don't watch hololive and there's no introduction to make me understand" is like saying this in other anime OVA:

"I don't understand character because I didn't watch *insert parent story name of anime* and there's no introduction in OVA to make me understand".

It's obvious that you need to watch hololive first and have some knowledge about hololive before to understand this.

Character in Holo no Graffiti seem to be well-represented compared to their personality but there's room to improve.

Enjoyment: 2/10

THIS IS PERSONAL OPINION

I doesn't feel any emotion at all. Maybe I watch it in wrong way? I think I know all hololive member that show in Holo no Graffiti. Maybe I don’t know 3rd generation well enough? Anyway, I doesn’t feel enjoy when watch it and I frequently watch hololive clip that pop into my YouTube feed in the past and sometime (rarely) watch 1st generation live.

Overall: 3/10

With this kind of art and mess story plus I doesn’t feel like enjoying it at all, this is all I can give.

Please don’t call me “anti” and cancel me just because I rate this low. I’m not an anti and I still watch some hololive clip in my free time. I just don’t like this one particular animated thing from hololive.

I’m looking forward for Hololive Alternative as it look fantastic. For now, all I can do is wait for that and maybe I will enjoy some particular episode of Holo no Graffiti that actually look interesting but there’s not much.

If you really are a fan of hololive, maybe this will enjoy you, maybe even a lot. Just maybe though as I’m not enjoying it and I think I can consider myself as a fan. I think you should watch hololive clip instead of this since it's much more enjoyable.

However, if you never watch hololive, don’t bother. You won’t understand it anyway and you're going to waste lot of time that seem small but actually a lot in order to understand it (aka get into rabbit hole) and it's hard to quit.

STORY 6 All the skits will almost always reference things on stream. Non-fans may not get that but if you are interested you can always go to the comments section. I enjoyed all of it. This show is like a collection of references of each individual idol's streams that becomes part of Hololive Lore. It's basically a slice of life comedy in a "fictionalized HoloStudio". +It's very funny when you get the references. -The story is not developing just the daily lives of Hololive girls in the HoloStudio. -It's very short. There are 80 episodes (as of now, the time this review is being written). Each episode an averageof more than a minute but never exceeding 5 minutes.

-The earlier episodes are Privated. While it exists in NicoNicoDouga or BiliBili, it does not have subtitles. You may not understand why it's funny when you don't speak Japanese or Chinese.

CHARACTERS 8

The portrayals of idols here is quite accurate, very much same when they are on stream. It's nice that Hololive knows their idols as expected. One of skits is the "Human Tetris" starring Hoshimachi Suisei, they recognize that she is a character psychopathic tendencies. Another example is when they refer to Akai Haato as Hachamaa (her new name but officially she is Akai Haato), a quite minor detail but very well appreciated.

+Seemingly accurate portrayals of the vtubers in Anime form.

+Each character has unique designs and personalities.

- Non-fans may not know about these characters, so they'll have to watch clips and streams so that they'll understand why they are like that.

ART & SOUND 8 & 7

I hate CGI and anything 3D in anime but this is an exception. I'm an average enjoyer of clips and streams of Hololive vtubers so this is not a problem at all but I can imagine myself hating on this if I weren't fan but I am so it's actually fine. The sound is fine too, if you care about that.

+It's 3D. It's a good one since we usually see them in 2D or 2.5D on stream but in this show they are really in 3D.

-3D may be a turn off to some of you.

ENJOYMENT 9

Yes, I really enjoyed it but not the earlier episodes that were privated in I had to watch in NicoNicoDouga or BiliBili, since it didn't have english substitles.

OVERALL 7

This show has a prerequisite that you have to be a Hololive enjoyer first in order to enjoy this anime. I don't think a non-fan will enjoy this but if they do they'll become a fan.

-Prerequisites before watching reminds me of schoolworks. Non-fans will have to watch the streams first to get the references.

+But if you're into Hololive or Vtubers in general, then you're in for a blast!

This review is coming from someone who used to enjoy Hololive contents from August to December last year. I used to enjoy watching the members' streams with excitement because it was such a fresh concept to me. With that being said, let's get going. TL;DR: If you like Hololive, you'll love this. If you don't, do not waste your time watching this. Story - 1 I'm going to get this straight out of the way. The story is nonexistent. Holo no Graffiti does not have a plot or story whatsoever. Each episode is a stand-alone episode, thus why I give this a one. Art - 5 I have tosay the art is not bad but it's not good either. The models look cute enough for people to think they're cute, but they don't deserve the praises Holo no Graffiti is receiving. They look bland, the eyes look dead. The animation looks very weird all the time, especially when they move or do anything at all (which they do those a lot). Granted it is not a big studio with unlimited budget handling the show, but they can probably do better than that.

Sound - 1

Now this is where I have most of my problem with. They're not voice actresses (they are in a way, but not professionals), they're streamers. They haven't received voice training like actual voice actresses have (probably they have, but still not on the same level). They're not very expressive, and you can barely understand what they're saying because of how fast they talk and unclear their voices are when speaking. Not just that, but they always sound very tone-deaf, too. Because of that, you can't really tell what they're feeling from their voices, which is crucial for voice actresses to be able to do that, but they're not voice actresses; they're regular streamers. Which leads back to my initial point: they are very bad voice actresses, even worse than amateur ones. Oh, and they're very loud so be careful. Other than the voice actresses themselves, the other sounds are very mediocre.

Character - 2

The characters are, as you expected, the Hololive girls. I get that virtual youtubers are supposed to be playing a character, but their characters in Holo no Graffiti and their characters in their own streams are different. So much so they actually feel like an entirely different people. What this does is, it leaves a confusing feeling in your brain. It's like a character playing another character; which doesn't do well in my opinion. Because the characters are just themselves, you shouldn't expect any development from any of them or you'd be disappointed.

Enjoyment - 2

Despite everything I've said about Holo no Graffiti, I enjoyed watching it, albeit a little. I would watch Holo no Graffiti on my bed before a good night sleep. You know, just watching it to make myself feel sleepy and that's about it. Other than that, there is not a single occasion I enjoyed this show at all. Watching a single episode of Holo no Graffiti is like having a mediocre dream. You won't remember it the next morning you wake up.

Overall - 1

I used to watch Holo no Graffiti when Hololive was booming. Looking back on it, now that I don't watch as many Hololive streams as I used to back then, I can say with a high degree of certainty that it's garbage.

Conclusion.

If you like Hololive, watch their streams every day, or even buy their merch, I think you will love this. This is like a godsend for you and that's fine. However, if you don't watch Hololive or haven't heard about it before, I suggest you to not watch this because it will only waste your time. If this is a joke, it surely isn't a funny one.

Look I enjoy these Vtubers in their own respective channel but this anime is disgustingly bad. There is a lot of superficial references that are alright but obviously you can't enjoy this unless you like ALL of the characters as this is what this anime is celebrating. The models is ok but it feels uncanny to the setting background they're because the character are complex in design yet they're essentially sitting in a room full of squares and circles. I wouldn't recommend it even if you're a hololive stan because honestly it's just 3 minute episodes of, "What the hell happened?"

AHOY! OVERSEAS SEXY GUYS! BASED! DOPE! SUPERLIT! Best thing i've wathced in a long time, characters are the best part and the slice of life spin offs they do for everyone are even better. Cured my drepression. Best characters are cute oni, secsy captain, insane chef, slav lion, yubi collector dog, "friend" cat, and onigiri cat.Narrative is also good, and character development is so accurate that it becomes always cannon.

Cooking episodes are the best, and even better if you are into exotic cooking, and the music, nothing comes close it. Haven't tried myself, but its siad that the recipies are really good. So, ITADAKIHAACHAMA CHAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

I hope they add the new english speaking characters, there is a shark, a chiken, an octopus, a gremlin detective, and death herself, yes death is a she. No ones knows if they'll ever come, maybe it's a Myth

tldr: if you don't know anything about hololive you will not enjoy this anime. that's coming from someone who's really invested in hololive. -- If you have little-to-no knowledge about hololive and its talents, this anime will most likely make no sense to you. This should not be the first thing to check out if you're interested in getting into hololive (or in other words falling into the rabbit hole). Watch stream clips, check out the many talents, watch their streams or their archives, and if you think you're already deep into the rabbit hole then check out Holo no Graffiti. If you wanna to watchthis anime first before getting to know hololive, this review is for you.

Story:

There's no story nor plot. Every episode just features a day in the life of a talent(s) in the hololive studio. There's no continuity between episodes; every episode is its own thing.

You won't understand what's happening in the episodes without keeping up with the hololive community. References are from streams and/or talent lore, and assuming you don't understand the references you might not find it funny.

Art:

It's a 3D anime. The models are good enough. The props are good enough. the animation is good enough, although awkward at times. Basically, it isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either. It could be better in my opinion, sure, but again it's good enough for us hololive fans.

Sound:

The episodes get loud often, so be prepared to lower your volume by quite a bit. They aren't professional voice actors, so don't expect the quality from mainstream anime.

Characters:

The characters are mainly hololive talents and sometimes staff members. I do feel that sometimes a talent's character is different in Holo no Graffiti compared to their actual streams. It's like they're a completely different person, and I'm actually not a fan of that. Don't expect character development in this anime.

Enjoyment:

If you like hololive and you keep up with the community, go watch it and you'll probably enjoy it since you'll get most of the references.

If you have little knowledge of hololive you will not enjoy this anime because you'll be left confused.

--

Overall, I enjoy Holo no Graffiti. I won't recommend this to your fellow anime enjoyer or to someone who wants to get into hololive. But I will recommend this to anyone who is already deep into the rabbit hole, I think you'll love this.

Rating:

8/10

but 5/10 in the perspective of someone who doesn't know hololive

Not an honest review. Huge Hololive fan, but rating a 1/10 to offset troll 10/10 reviews. Eh, HoloGra is basically a weekly short video series with a bunch of inside jokes about the Hololive idol group. It's episodic and you won't understand any of the context without keeping up with the community. A lot of it is nonsensical and the plot boils down to whatever random stuff the talents and staff want to put out. It's very balls to the wall wacky with some slapstick comedy. I enjoy it from time to time, but I would never recommend it to a casual anime fan. It'salso probably the worst way to introduce anyone into Hololive or vtuber culture in general.

If you think the character designs look cool but you don't like streamers, and want an actual story. Maybe wait for Hololive Alternative? (If that ever comes out).

Are you looking for a comedy starring your favorite Hololive Vtubers? Well, you came to the right place. Holo no Graffiti is a series of short ONAs starring the idols of Hololive, uploaded to the official Hololive YouTube channel about once a week. There isn’t much continuous story, and the art style is literally the idol’s 3D models animated and voice acted by the idols themselves. However, each episode is short enough to tell a short, comedic story centered around 3 to 8 of the idols, usually taking place in a CG version of the Hololive office. Overall, 10/10, I can’t think of any downsides.

I'd like to preface this review by saying I was a part of the wave that experienced hololive from Fubuki Scatman. This was around February of 2020, and I don't think there could be a more perfect time for Hololive to have entered my life. Many people will say 2020 was one of their worst years, but I will proudly say it has been one of my best, thanks to Hololive. I was never much into vtubers. I liked the concept but most I saw lacked the personality that would hook me, but then came Hololive. So many wonderful raw moments filled with real humanbehavior. It was also a brilliant cross cultural experience that I can only describe as very rich. So many stories, connections, lows and highs. I am not rating this as just Holo no Gra, but also my entire experience of hololive as a whole. To support these girls whom I've come to love, and to spread the word of hololive to more and more people who may really need the positivity and escape in their lives.

Holo no Gra by itself is still really entertaining. Countless memes have erupted from the community thanks to the insane minds of whoever is coming up with these shorts. It's really just pure fun.

Holo no Graffitti is just what it sounds like, short skits featuring the Hololive members. Many people rate it very highly because they really like Hololive. I myself am a huge fan of Hololive and though I mostly watch the EN side, I also watch a lot on the JP side as well. However I don't think the anime is very good. For me at least, Hololive works so well because of the talents personalities. They are all genuinely interesting. Also, all the talents are real people who, though they play a character, are also able to imbue themselves into their content. That how Ican sit for several hours and watch a stream while I would never do so for any other video on Youtube or even a great film. It is percisely because of the style of HoloGra that it doesn't work. The Holomem are reduced to caricatures of themselves that just feel fake. With most of the actual appeal of Hololive removed, it becomes another short skit comedy anime and there are many others that have done it better. The jokes are corny even if you know the references. Now to be fair, there were a few which were genuinely funny, but those are few and far between and don't really redeem the rest of the show. Also the animation, though it is digital is done decently well, even if it is not the highest budget.

If you really really love Hololive, then you probably love this show, and that great for you. But if like Hololive and are looking for shorts of the Holomem, just spend your time watching clips.

This show uses the idols 3d models very well and is a great concept for a mini series. however, the story is appalling and every episode feels like a random sting of thoughts somebody in the company had while on drugs, to be completely honest the entire show feels like one big fever dream. despite the unholy plotlines the rest of this show is very good, the character designs and audio are all top quality and the short episode length makes watching it somewhat bearable and the chaos of the plotline makes it somewhat enjoyable sometimes. this mini series is a solid attempt at an"anime" but has far too many flaws earning it a solid 5/10.i enjoy watching these very week but I hope whatever happens for hololive alternative will be better than this.

Top tier anime, no complaints. It's short, funny, entertaining, Haachamachama and very light-hearted. It doesn't try to take itself too seriously, yet comes off as a total masterpiece. The story isn't connected, and each episode differs in plot. However, the overall themes are consistent, and the personalities of the main characters(vtubers) are well represented. In fact, each story in itself is a masterpiece. The humour can be subtle, yet blunt at times, and often, prior knowledge of the vtubers is needed to fully grasp certain contents in the show. Both visual effects and sound quality are top notch, on par with other 3D styled animes. Ifind that the fast-pacing makes the show more exciting and concise. It eliminates any filler content that is so littered in most mainstream shows.

Overall, it provides a simple yet effective form of entertainment that is unparalleled in the anime community.
