Cagaster of an Insect Cage

The story is really one that will pull your heart strings if you are able to get past the bad animations. I would personal recommend watching it with the ORIGINAL voice actors (Japanese) to get the actual feeling of the series. I agree that we need to stick with either high performance CGI animations or hand drawn, but for the sake of a great story line I would watch it again.

I see a lot of people talking about the animation issues. I will admit that's bad, but it's not what kills this show for me. What really destroys it is the uncomfortable way the show treats age and sexuality.

Incest is an accepted part of the show. Even if it isn't REAL incest, the implication is certainly made that we are supposed to understand it to be. Furthermore, Kidow and Ilie's relationship is strange and uncomfortable. The age gap is never properly established, but soldiers call him "sensei", so he's implied to be older. Compound that with the time he just about rapes her and DOES exert physical power over her, and it's.... problematic. ESPECIALLY when you add in the sexual relationship he had with an older woman when he was a child.

This is... bad. It's real bad.

I liked the story, watched all in the same weekend (12 episodes, no boring fillers).

I thought the main character would be the hybrid guy from the netflix thumbnail, then I though it was the cliche cool cold swordman, but it is more about the the girl he rescues and the backstories of the people she meets and hers. His character is there to protect her when something shows up, this isn't dbz, no battle lasts more than 5 mins. Except from one minor antagonist added at the end of the story to give them a goal, everyone has something to tell, no one is just evil.

The only problem is that they used 3D for the background and creatures (they look really unsetting) and 2D cell shading for the characters. Netflix has been doing this with other animes (f.e.: Ajin and Godzilla), not sure if because it is easier or because they think it looks cool (it doesn't). Once you get into the story, you forget about the art (it only annoyed me the first 2 chapters, though I have seen other animes like this one so it wasn't that weird).

The show was really good. It started off rough in the first couple episodes and then completely turned around and ended up being fantastic. It had a great story line and lovable charcacters, all of which made up for the mediocre cgi style which isn't as good as normal animation. I in the end found it hard to stop watching. This show is great

It has a great story and has no boring fillers the art is the art you know that most CGI s bad but i don't care for art as long as it has a good story i'm in
