The artwork is breathtaking. I love the use of colour to portray emotion. The Amulet series is something you can read over, and over, and each time see something new.

1. Megan - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Take in rune soldier". The plot was confusing and hard to follow, and the characters lacked depth. The animation was below average, and the fight scenes were dull. Overall, I found it difficult to get invested in the story or feel any connection to the characters. It definitely did not live up to my expectations.
2. Alex - 1/5 - "Take in rune soldier" was a complete waste of time for me. The humor felt forced and the jokes fell flat. The storyline was unoriginal and cliché, and the pacing was incredibly slow. The animation was mediocre at best, and the characters were one-dimensional and uninspiring. I wouldn't recommend this anime to anyone looking for a captivating and engaging series.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - I had high hopes for "Take in rune soldier" based on the hype, but I found it to be just another generic fantasy anime. The characters lacked complexity and the plot was predictable. The animation was subpar and the action scenes lacked excitement. While it may appeal to some fans of the genre, I personally found it to be underwhelming and forgettable.
