They are going really heavy-handed with the 3DCG here. But... it does not look bad at all.

The classic moon versus the earth battle with precious gems? This seems pretty cool as a sci-fi, fantasy anime. Who animated this?

Studio Orange. They did Black Bullet and Dimension W so you know that the action will be done right.

There are so many diverse characters though, so there is really a character for everyone.

Synopsis

In the distant future, creatures that existed in the past have turned into immortal “Houseki” (gemstones). In this strong, fragile, and beautiful action fantasy, the Houseki must fight fiercely against mysterious enemies that have invaded from the moon, the “Tsukijin” (Moon People).

Three Episode Impression

In the far future, humanity is no more. Gems now populate the Earth and the Moon Dwellers, which look like Hindi Deities, descend from the Moon to capture the Gems, break them apart, and then turn them into decorations. Each Gem is unique and has a role to fill within their commune on Earth. Phosphophyllite is the youngest and does not want to do what he is assigned to do, which is make an Encyclopedia. However, this leads to him meeting many Gems around their world.

At first glance, this looks like a fantasy slice of life anime, and it is, however, it also surprisingly handles action scenes quite well. The series is offering a lot more in terms of action and there is plenty to enjoy as it continues. Also, it should be noted that though this is a 3DCG anime, it is done correct with the art flowing and not being jarring. A great watch for this season.
