It indeed is a rather /delicious/ anime
I was holding out for a bit, because I have a neurological disposition that makes me really avoid something avidly that too many people gush about
Call it what you will
Sometimes I decide to at least put on whatever praised show as background noise and either end up hating it, not caring, or in this case getting sucked in!
I loved it!
Or rather love it so far - it isn't done yet

*** SPOILERS AHEAD ***
For a lot of it, it was okay and just background noise for me, but once they introduced the idea of living flower bed/garden golems, I was intrigued
But I wasn't hooked until they gutted the red dragon and took the time to assemble Falin's bones
That is what hooked me
Taking the time to separate and assemble multiple skeletons and then using "black magic" to use the dragon's 'calories' to regenerate Falin
That was cool as hell, and from then on I was hooked!!
There were lots of details I found interesting and appreciated, like Japan's tradition of Kobold's being more dog-like
And the ecological relationship between treasure bugs and mimics!
it is a fascinating show, and I can't wait for there to be more!!!
