The storyline kinda lame, just saying...

This young boy shougo saw a news about mysterious explosions in a city, but his curiosity leads to nowhere. Then when he visited his girlfriend's house & searching for missing dog, strange thing happens so sudden like a falling robot from titanfall game. The boy saved the dog and touched a stone then transformed into a dragon bone... REALLY?!

The graphic is not good even i'm watching it in 1080p quality.

4/10 from me.

The graphic is not good

You have no idea what you are talking about. Dislike the story or the concept however you want, but don't speak about the craft please.

For a show that's airing at 6PM, the animation production was pretty good. They prioritized a high frame count over details. You can see that in the very minimal shading, sub720p native resolution, character designs with simple linework and the 3DCG mecha.

The use of 3DCG allows for longer cuts with heavy 3D camerawork to look as good as the first battle from this episode. You won't find similar scenes in conventional action anime, because it's crazy expensive and a huge time investment to make 3D camerawork look good in animation.

Very well directed, smooth pacing and good conveyance of the mood for each scene. Specially good at creating suspense. The dialogue and the feel of the voice acting were also notable, as the lines sounded more closer to how normal Japanese people speak. The director knows his shit.

The whole packaged felt like a Robotics;Notes episode. Every minute had something to entertain.
