About
If you enjoy anime that blends wartime stakes with supernatural battles and a documentary-style framing, this could be a solid pick; Not for you if you want strict historical realism or low-violence viewing, similar to Bayonetta: Bloody Fate.
Pros: unusual WWII supernatural twist; energetic action moments; interesting mockumentary framing | Cons: uneven pacing; plot holes linger; very graphic violence
