Cliche writing. Horribly boring characters. Things just happen because plot magic.
After the panther says "do it boy. fulfill your destiny." for the 90th time in the second episode my eyes just couldn't roll any further back into my head. "Faster boy. You need pain to become tougher." The panther just says boy so often and has no personality besides shouting commands that the boy seems to complete completely on accident or by running away until the monster inadvertently kills itself.The animation is straight from Avatar. But then they through in some suicides that are the dullest death scenes you could imagine. They all die in the exact same way. Slit throat. Eyes stare straight ahead and they fall over. Apparently slitting your throat elicits no emotion or response whatsoever. No grasping at their necks. No sign of pain. Boom falls over. So its likes the avatar animators wanted to get edgy but not too edgy. But then the writing feels like something straight out of a 6th graders edgy fan fic. Everything just happens because it needs to happen. The writing is so flat its 1 dimensional.
It really sucks because the story could have been so good exploring a very seldomly told story. I wanted to enjoy it but its just cringey and boring. It feels like they chose this animation style so they could make everything flat. A temple just fell over and it crumbles in killing people but the physics just aren't right. If you gave this 10 stars i will put money on you being a socially awkward 7th or 8th grader.
score 1/10
