I don't know why you would take an obscure web comic from the late 00's and create a show around something whose popularity has since ebbed.
If you are going to adapt something like that into a viable show, you better put some real money and talent behind it otherwise you end up making what looks to be a very good student animation effort.
To that end: This is a good warm up for future animators, voice actors and production specialists to cut their teeth on learning the ins and outs of this type of business.
The "High Guardian Spice" reference is unfair seeing as how that show placed more emphasis on the identity of the writers/actors than the actual show.
I tip my hat to CR for playing it safe and picking something that most people are unfamiliar with so if it does poorly in adaptation only 50 people how actual remember reading it would know how much was missed, altered, rushed or left out entirely.
Watch it if you want a palette cleanser between shows with much better production values. The story isn't bad but it screams of what happens when a writer doesn't actually plan how a story arc is meant to move, characters grow, and allowing the weight situations set in appropriately for deaths, abuse or even personal struggles and the way threads between friends, enemies and bystanders weaken, strengthen and entangle themselves in unyielding ways.
