To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts

Somehow I cannot think of anything else I could say about this, so maybe I am just going to repeat what others says... The comparison with Fairy Gone is very apt, and so I am also going to follow up on that too. Compared to "fairies", these "abandoned sacred beasts" are much more straightforward, the motivations of the characters are a bit more straightforward, and the narrative is not constantly (meaning only occasionally) trying for a comprehensive, (albeit questionable,) busy plot and complicated politics and subterfuge. However, mind you, I would say it is still a load of bullshit in many ways, even though compared to Fairy Gone, the load is a bit smaller... The heart of the narrative is mostly based on the "monster of the week" style of anime, (which gets boring at times), as since the cathedral debacle, the anime’s creators were trying to come up with something more complicated, and unfortunately, it did not work. Fortunately, though, I found it a bit easier to watch (compared to Fairy Gone) since it is at least decently drawn, using almost no CGI. Plus, it is a lot better to listen to too, by which I do not mean the dialogues, which are mostly pretty poor, but rather the soundtrack, which suits what is happening on screen. The battles against the "Incarnates" are not a complete waste of time, however, I found the way they portrayed the military battles where "Incarnates" were not in the spotlight sometimes more interesting, and that is probably not a good thing... The bottom line is, if Fairy Gone was a sub-average show, this is a touch better - even though that is unexpectedly just weak to average, and even I do not think I am going to continue and watch the next season... 4.6/10.
