I planned out a review for HB ages ago… but I never finished it, so it went to the garbage~
I agree with some things, but not others.
The fight scenes I feel, despite the flashy imagery, didn’t feel satisfying. There was too much description and not enough happening. I think the plot, explaining why fights were happening, was handled… in not the best way. The protagonist’s motivations were pretty interesting though.
With the CGs, I think that Tenma’s were generally all well done. Every other CG though was a mess.
There are some cool little bits that make you think “woah, Siglus is cool.” Unfortunately now that AB exists, that surprise factor will be gone for a lot of people.
I wouldn’t say it was bad, but it was… okay. There wasn’t really anything special about it, and really, Tenma, for a long time, was the only reason I continued reading. The plot wasn’t bad, it just existed.
