Not that this could have changed the ratings of this anime drastically or anything, but do you guys believe the character design really didn't fit the story/theme?

Personally, from the first episode where it shows just what to expect in the rest of the anime, I believed that the character design was lacking in complementing the story. In all honesty I would have enjoyed the anime twice as much if the character design was better(oh and also if there was more explanation in the first episode and it didn't feel rushed...)

But yeah... I assume you guys no what I mean by now, so ill stop rambling.

Inaho's design was pretty generic.

Slaine and Hime were well designed.

How does that equate to being generic?

I think you mean uninspired.

Art from the 1980s, because drab colors and wavy lines are objectively better than vibrant colors and attractive characters.

I want character design that fits the ambiance, which could be described as quite ruthless and dark but with slight hope.
I'm just trying to say that the character design was even to an extent moe, which seriously did not fit the anime.

It was average. Wimpy looking black/brown haired boy, average height. We've seen enough of that in anime. And the fact that his facial expressions barely changed didn't help.

Well i do find him to be generic looking, but his lack of personality isnt what makes him generic. it just makes him forgettable.
