First, animation, it is ugly to me. Second, characters are boring and undeveloped beyond a stereotype, and only interesting character dyes in one of early episodes. Plot, it is one of thous 1 death per episode or so shows. Non of deaths made me feel anything. Characters didn't really care so why should I? Its like "A character is dead, lets do a time skip to after the crying and screaming is over." Characters are lucky or unlucky to the point of ridiculousness. Story is so slow and makes so little sense that i had to force my self to continue watching it several times. Ending is stupidly optimistic, with no emotional pay off. From prepper point of view: LoL this is so stupid!
