Review:
Since the anime is PG-13 it’s kinda childish. Here is the thing, the anime is about the bounds of friendship which is an awesome theme. Then there are the “Alone” which are evil machines which means good vs. evil. Then, there is the “nothing is what it seems” message. You see each aspect sounds good, but as a combination it’s kinda cheese… Or shall I say ridiculous. The storyline felt so calculated. I’m not saying that the anime is bad. There were some good aspects about the anime, I did enjoy it, kinda. Though, it wasn’t anything wowing of amazing.
Overall Rate: 6/10
