Synopsis:

In a secluded archipelago, a young cartographer named Ren dedicates their life to meticulously charting the ever-shifting islands. The world is defined by volatile geological activity and unpredictable weather patterns, making navigation a perilous undertaking. When a mysterious, ancient artifact surfaces during a rare calm, Ren's quiet existence is disrupted. They are drawn into a conflict involving competing factions seeking to control the artifact’s power and unlock the secrets of the islands' origins. The series explores themes of environmentalism, cultural preservation, and the burden of knowledge. Through detailed world-building and character-driven storytelling, it offers a thoughtful examination of humanity’s relationship with its surroundings and the consequences of unchecked ambition.

    So what can you expect from this, a picture drama? The usual, just like every other PD, it mainly consists of still frame pictures with VA (voice acting), on which the art will be usually better. Long story short, episode 1 was boring, it was mainly the little guys commenting some scenes from the beggining of the series, average at best most of the times. Thank god, episode 2 changed its focus, with Zakuro and the rest of the girls providing some good art :3, while we get some more generic but entertaining tropes going on. I would score 5 to the first episode, and a 7 to thesecond, joining it, 6.nnSo who should watch this.nPeople that completed the series (or finished more than half of it, you can even see these PD and still not having completed the anime), and enjoyed it enough, that seeing still images and VA from the cast, with some bickering, would provide enjoyment for you. nFor the rest I wouldnt recomend it, there is really nothing revelant going on, if you want to get just a bit more from the series, whatever it maybe, or are just a completionist, you should see it then, the rest of you guys, stay way from it.
