Very interesting world building. So humans basically 'split' into the flesh 'sea-creatures', the bone 'gems' and the soul 'Lunarians'; and the corrupt part is in the soul while flesh and bones are still pure, or so it felt until the snail waifu betrayed Phosphophyllite. Wow, I am seriously hooked, this is a good anime with a good story. Planning to read the manga from the start after finishing the anime. This legit feels like one of those stories where your time invested in reading won't be wasted and would be totally worth it.

5/5

Poor Phos is so gullible. Or maybe it's a part of the fearless mentality of all gems.

That betrayal ... it's understandable, wanting to free your brother from the Lunarian. At least Phos got a lot of good info for it!

This show goes so incredibly hard. It really does make you wonder why humans split from eachother in the first place.

Wow, she was just about growing on me too.

Betrayal is such a sad twist in the large scheme of unexpected events.

So far I can say I've been able to acknowledge the author's imaginative world building despite the flaws of it sometimes inherently pulls out of nowhere. This is the closest thing to Avant Garde which yet isn't because it finds its way in the long run to make sense for the most part and can be easily interpreted by most people.

This episode was also the first time I saw where the story was actually leading to philosophically

"DEATH GIVES MEANING TO LIFE" - It really does struck a cord with me. Because without death, what exactly is life. It'd literally be nothingness. I'm yet to explore more of the artists inner thoughts. Quite the philosophically ambitious show. I'll stick around for now.

That went from zero to 180 real fast. I never thought that slug-thing would actualy be another sentient life form. Also we had more lore on this world, which is always appreciated.

This show gotta stop with the cliffhangers. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop watching.
