A walking misogynistic catastrophe that could have had 8/10 points had the majority of the villains not been absolute creeps, producing the SAME type of problem 3 times over, the poor main cast turning into complete blue eyed idiots each time they were "caught off guard", what the hell? And when I mean creeps than that is exactly what it is. All villains are completely unhinged and so crassly abusive, that one has to worry about the sanity of whoever wrote that plot. How it's possible they created such lovely main cast and actually quite interesting world build and all, to then just butcher it by the most lazy lowlife villain writing, is beyond me. I only watched to the last episode to get some closure. Instead there is just more creepy mess that is supposed to make you look forward to a second season. Of what? More abusive creeps, who take up the majority of the screen time and majority of interaction time? No! This could really have been great. Instead it was torture crawling with triggering misogyny. Hands off! Spare yourselves. Or maybe wait till someone writes post season 2 completion, if at least that could save at least a fraction of the goodness. The last time an anime had my skin crawl this bad, was when I dropped Sword Art Online, another peace crawling with creeps, just even worse as they're all explicitly sexually abusive on top of being unhinged! Goodness me .... .

***No Spoilers*** I really liked the character of the two MC's. Challe has a tough demeanor that's rough around the edges with a horrible attitude and is very pessimistic, but its all to hide his pain and his underling kindness. Anne is really naive, but is just a overall nice and pleasant person that's super determined and works really hard towards her goals. The two of them end up fitting really well together and have a interesting dynamic in their relationship during the show. You see Challe's outward demeanor being changed to his softer and kinder interior as Anne slowly pulls it out of him with her determination and overall kindness and naivete. While he makes her shed some naivete and makes her question her feelings. They really start to bring each other to a almost sort of balance, or its seeming that way. It ends up as a nice relationship with some good interactions and moments, but its a little too rushed at times. The antagonist were the weak part of the show. They tend to be too simplistic and one dimensional with almost a mustache twirling vibe to them. That or the bigger problem was they would contradicted there own actions and/or words at many points in the show making them just horribly design characters. I guess the end one that will carry over into part two might have some promise, but we will have to wait and see in part two. Without a good antagonist in part one though it felt a little empty and dull at times. The premise of the show is really unique, i never really expected to be watching a anime about confection art in a fantasy setting as the main draw. I would suggest that if you are like me and watch a lot of anime that you watch it for that alone, as its something different and unique in that regard. 7/10
