Let me say that I didn't like what I saw too much. I'm not going to say it was completely bad because the show offers a lot of good moments; however, in the long run, I felt the potential was wasted. Overall, I think it needed a lot of work in the story and especially in the character department.

Anyone who watches "Big Order" has in most cases already heard of Mirai Nikki ("Future Diary"). Future Diary was a very popular anime when it came out, although it received mixed reactions - some loved it, others didn't like it at all. Personally, I really like Future Diary and that's why I was very curious about "Big Order", as it is based on a manga by the same author. You expect a lot because "Future Diary" is super cool and well thought out... and this suggests the manga author is a very talented author... similar to Togashi from Hunter x Hunter. But who knows... maybe he wanted to do an experiment with "Big Order". At this point he had already earned enough money and fame. But a patchwork of scenes that seems totally confused is not a work of art. In the credits you see images as you would see them through a kaleidoscope... but the colorful crystals only appear to be randomly mixed up... they have an inner order that comes about through reflections. But it is precisely this symmetry, this order that is missing from "Big Order". The fact that the anime only has 10 episodes is significant. With each episode you are thrown into a plot, which has already developed a lot further than where it ended in the last episode. The resulting gaps - they will never be filled. The plot seems confusing and is reminiscent of an advertising sequence... and even though I thought the beginning was somewhat good and liked the protagonists... after a few more episodes I was still not into the plot... and was becoming increasingly bored .
