Synopsis
A dispute between young band members and an unfortunate choice of melody inadverdently draws them all into the demonic horror known as the desert-god Gandalla.
Audience Consensus
The anime is appreciated for its unique world and monster designs, but heavily criticized for its convoluted plot, poor animation, and cheap character designs. The ending is particularly unsatisfying. Overall, it's seen as a messy but ambitious project with more flaws than successes.
Strengths
- Creative and unique world-building
- Cool monster designs with Lovecraftian elements
- Vibrant and colorful visuals with a dreamlike quality
Weaknesses
- Messy and convoluted plot with unclear rules and unsatisfying ending
- Stilted and unprofessional animation with poor perspective
- Cheap and lazy character designs resembling old American cartoons
