In almost every place I've seen it discussed, the anime has been derided as not only terrible in its failure to adequately represent the plot but also generally subpar by the already loose standards of common shonen anime.

But I haven't seen it myself, so I'm just passing on second-hand reactions.

I'll probably watch the anime and do a full dissection of it just for kicks.

Still extremely mixed on the game, but I'll always give animation a shot.

I really like the concept, but the character designs and world visuals disgust me, as well as the somewhat disjointed flow of attack animations. But I'm still willing to give it a try anyway if someone has a good sales pitch.

Character design is a bit subjective. The creator is extremely robust, allowing you to create everything from a reasonably proportionate character to something of nightmares. Hell, you can even create a child/teen character. Basically, the let you do whatever. I, personally, liked the in-game visuals when I played the beta. Combat is essentially Tera. If you're unfamiliar with that, then think of the FFVII Remake trial. They do away with the holy trinity format in favour of real time reaction: blocks, parries and etc. 

Unfortunately, the actual story and lore is somewhat benign. You're the cliche student whose hometown gets razed and you seek revenge on those who committed the act. I'd say spoilers, however this happens within the first five minutes. From that point forward process is slow. I stopped paying attention because the side quests are your usual run of the mile "fetch me my dress by killing some carbs" (seriously). Granted, I only played to level ten, and heard it picks up soon thereafter. 

Overall, I say give it a shot on gameplay alone. I don't know enough to say whether the story is worth any investment, but as a free to play. You're not losing anything except time.

This should be an actual quest, where you must kill some carbs to wear the dress and bring it back to the quest giver, otherwise it won't fit.

But yeah I've heard the leveling is pretty much standard Korean FTP MMO fare, aka. really tedious. I have a high tolerance for that, but regardless it bears mentioning.
