My hype came from reading the manga and seeing this was being adapted by, what looked like, the same MAPPA team that did Jujutsu Kaisen. I have also come to appreciate and value anime that has a unique feel to it in a sea of paint by numbers isekai/fantasy, and so far this is great for me. Makes sense it isn't for everyone, but I expect it will be something worth watching, at the least, if you stick with it.
