LOTM is absolute garbage. The story telling is a disjointed mess, the character development is non-existent and it's being review botted by the Chinese on Crunchyroll to keep its score score artifically higher. To claim it's being review bombed when it's activly being review boosted by thousands of Chinese bots is a strange claim to make. Leaves one wondering what the authors real motives are here.
Is SL the best anime to ever come out? Hell no. But LOTM is just plain slop in packaging of fancy animation.
