Oof, that bad?

I mean, it's watchable. The first 15 or so episodes are probably the worst of it. S2 has way less CGI but they get pretty lazy. A lot of scenes in battles are just still images being panned and shaken slightly with battle noises. The animation is never so bad it takes away from the story for me, but like, theres a lot of badass shit in this anime that could use good animation.

Also, the first 15 episodes are basically a prequel to the actual story. I found those 15 to be fine, but the main series is about the main guy working his way up the army to become the greatest general. Stealing clever or impressive victories and suffering tragic defeats. It's a really enjoyable story and as of the end of S2, theres still a ton left to go.

And in case you are interested it's based off a true story but the main character didn't exist in real life (and many events happen differently). The king/emporer guy did exist and was the first to unite china. He also killed himself by using fireworks to try to launch himself to the moon to gain immortality supposedly but that was when he was much older.
