Kizu darake Seijo yori Houfuku wo Komete
With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess
傷だらけ聖女より報復をこめて
Several centuries ago, a plague ravaged the Kingdom of Geed until a girl with healing powers appeared and saved the nation. Today, she is revered as the goddess Lushe, and a temple in her honor gathers individuals with similar powers to serve the kingdom as so-called saintesses. Lua Restoatt is a saintess candidate, but her power is defective—she heals by transferring others' injuries to herself, which earned her the nickname "Broken Saintess." This flawed ability nearly kills her when she rushes to save Garrett Vance, a knight captain she admires. But Lua's best friend, Arianne Trebias, takes the credit and becomes engaged to Garrett. Crushed by the betrayal, Lua vows never to heal again and prioritizes her secret second ability: inflicting others with the ailments she once absorbed. After witnessing this, Second Prince Sven Geed Crone approaches Lua and offers an alliance. Hungry for revenge, the once-timid Lua accepts Sven's proposal, ready to strike back at those who have wronged her and help the prince expose dark secrets of the temple. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I never leave reviews for anime, and even more rarely do I leave reviews for works in progress (I usually wait until at least the main story is complete), but here I have to make an exception. Rather than watching this “Anime,” I recommend reading the manga. It has 138 chapters in webtoon style, so it's very light reading. The animation consists only of illustrations from the webtoon, where only a few details such as mouths, eyes, hands, and arms have been animated, but very little else...and all in a “paper puppet” style. For those who have seen “Danganronpa,” it's similar in style to the executions but evenless animated. Nothing can be said about the plot... it's good because it's the same as the original work, although it seems to me that some parts have been shortened, but I have to check. It's a mix of revenge, conspiracies, secrets, lies, and powers, but WITHOUT reincarnations. Applause for the voice actors... they alone deserve 10/10! The voice cast is really well chosen and they put a lot of effort into the dubbing, but that doesn't save the anime. I'll probably finish it just to see how they condensed the story... but for now, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The episode length is laughable: 14:30 minutes! But you have to subtract 1:30 for the opening + 1:30 for the ending! Basically, an episode lasts 11:30!! EDIT AFTER FINISHING THE ANIME: My opinion hasn't changed in the end. The rating remains 5 solely because of the voice actors' efforts.
