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.

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

Amazing Anime great story I have watched this anime twice now I'm really in to it I wouldn't change anything about it. I would recommend this to all my friends keep up the good work

To start this out the story is a solid 8.5, as an Anime fan it earns that. Where Cagaster fails is Netflix's approach to CGI animation for their Anime's, it just doesn't work. The color is flat, there's a clear lack of illustration detail, and the character movement s is stiff. Look no other than Episode 5 to what this show could have been, through a series of flashbacks, the show switches to traditionally styled Anime animation techniques with what looks like 2D hand drawn animation. It's almost as if the show runners and lead animators are subtly saying "if you want traditional animation you only get it with flashbacks." As if they're saying that's a thing of the past. The 2D style that is shown briefly in episode 5 is beautiful and I wish the entire series was animated this way. If they do green light a season 2 -- season 1 ended well enough if that they may not -- they should consider learning from the mistake of CGI in season 1 and take their time to animate this the right way, which may lead to better action sequences as well.

Cagaster of an Insect Cage, a mix of zombies, Attack on Titan, and bad animation. What could have been. I'd recommend it if you need a quick binge.

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).
