Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). I didn't really care about the plot or characters, but I was happy to go along for the ride anyway. The artwork is amazing, the monsters are cool, and the world he's created is interesting enough to hold my attention for two hours.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.6/4 (Good)
