The beginning does not inspire confidence, but it gets better. At least this one has an actual ending unlike so many others. 

The story took a while to start growing on me. It felt like the characters and scenarios could have been further developed to make an even better story, but overall it was fine. Of course, if I had my way, most anime would be 50 to 100 episodes long with few to no filler episodes. That won't happen. 

One thing I liked is the main character does actually fave consequences for actions such as injuries and things. Many animes barely have consequences for situations so it's hard to really care about the character. On the other hand, these consequences last for a few seconds and then there is the powers of a god or healing magic. Still, it often doesn't completely heal everything so I give it props for that.

If you like historical animes with magic and gods etc, you should give it a try. It's ending is sad though. I was a bit dissatisfied with how it concluded, but there was a conclusion so I shouldn't complain too much I suppose. I wanted consequences that lasted and I got one and didn't like it. How typical.

Sorry for the short review. It's been dubbed in case you prefer dubbed anime or whatever.
