I will give you a general "Advice" about this one don't take it lightly.
This show is about the life and how even the smallest of choices could affect it. Its all about the possibilities you got and how it turned out,slowly and effectively from every aspect of our MC's life our plot unravels. (Even tho the how everything is connected is way too convenient, like there are just too many connections to consider that a "normal" life,thus that's why its not a SoL) It has many twists and the whole meaning of the show will seem incoherent even to the very end.Everything is of the essence, everything connects.(if it hadn't been a fictional show this would be a great downgrade,taking into consideration the above fact) There is actually more of a Com-rom and not so much of a mystery series. O_O
Continuing with the characters that are too good. Like "How this anime introduce/made his characters" is just Brilliant to Masterful.You can say that this is all about the char and especially our MC. His nature is just extremely easy to appeal to and incredibly believable or "human".He somewhat reminded me 8man (from Oregairu) ! Just remarkable,self centered MCs trying to live in their small vanilla worlds laid in roses !!
Off to the sounds and music. . . The OP was really simple and mysterious in its own way,definitely good and fitting but i believe it "could have been better".On the contrary, the ED was absolutely perfect, by that i mean the was no other way to do it other than that. Everything else is fine.
The art style is really questionable here. Well if you are aware this is a show by MadHouse and they deliberately made it look this way. I Can surely say 1 thing. Either it was made by a genius or it is absolutely pretentious !!To be honest i will go with the latter. I found its art captivating,amusing and splendid in general but it is for sure pretentious as f*ck!!
----------------------------------Personal thoughts and weaknesses-----------------------------------
Well if you don't turn of your brain while watching this you can pretty much see the greatness of the show. The foreshadowing, the Deepness, the MC self analyzing himself-the story and in general this was goddamn VERY WELL MADE!!It got almost everyting. Its one with no other definitely but. . . Lets start calling out its weaknesses shall we?
Firstly this show has no clear point or meaning until pretty late...In other words its only way of attracting you is out of curiosity about "WTF" is going on there. . .Secondly , the fact that this show is good because you can't grasp its meaning and seeing it is becoming a self challenge. I personally found this pretty irritating cause in other words you are being deceived but, well that's just me.Additionally, this show contains many memes but its hard to notice them.IF you paid enough attention the were small plot holes and the story wasn't so great. THE WAY the story was presented was great. In other words "The quality of the direction was what made it such a good film".Literally!!! Last but not least, the "fabulous" art. Personally more that fabulous and brilliant it was pretentious in a very high degree... Like the way things were presented in order to reach a climax or wake emotion was ridiculous and beyond irritating !! Not to forger actually this is a comedy... still wondering why the "mystery" tag... Let me explain. This is supposed to be based on a mystery and in every mystery we usually have answers. . . IN REALITY tho this is based on a cheap romance with an unsolved mystery and the show being partial pseudo intellectual in order to amaze even the most hardcore viewer... How does it manage that? Well obviously via the fact of "no actual" point into the show and the mysterious atmosphere. The viewer is searching for answers in the smallest of details while losing the big idea.. Making you lack perspective or fail to prioritize...
In conclusion, after i finished it i told to myself "Oh boy this is clearly a 10/10 masterpiece",but as i went and think of that the way it was "presented" to us viewers was a masterpiece.I mean give my gratz to the Director but the anime is just overwhelming the viewer by abusing the story and serve the precise info in order to make the mood(well the fact is irritating once its done more that 1~3 times but not something 100% bad).Seriously i believe its a 7, but giving it a 8 only because its one of the kind and deserves more recognition. Like the end was satisfying and stuff but it wasn't "the one,you" wanted to see.It was in fact foreshadowed from the very start and really nothing "mindblowing". More likely extremely magnified by the anime i could say...
Its definitely underrated!!This one is a huge one, capable of satisfying almost every viewer in a variety of ways!I definitely recommend it to everyone, but you need to be patient cause as i said its rather an unattractive one at the start!
Reasons to watch it:
-Immerse Story,Chars
-Enjoyable and overwhelming, especially for critical thinkers
-One of a Kind. Don't miss it!
