Gleipnir is a show that is crushed by its own ambition. We have here a story about beings out of this world, super powers that could overthrow the social hierarchy and abundant shots of chests and butts. We have our run out the mill protagonist who is childish and weak, bland like a loaf of bread, we have a blonde who is sexualized to the point you cannot take her seriously and we have a plot that takes us nowhere but the start. Boring and repetitive the only saving grace of this anime is its production values, most of the scenery is sharp and it looks good. The animation is mostly okay and at the very end they treat us to a very nice fight animation. The sound design is okay but that’s it. It's just okay. I would avoid if you dislike bland characters and a confusing story. If you want to watch some fanservice I guess it's okay... 4/10.
