I just can't understand why the score of this anime is lower than Boku dake ga Inai Machi (ERASED).
I currently give it a 10/10 because right now the 6.xx score is really not justifying this anime. But it may not be a master piece, and I also have to wait for the rest of the four episode.
This anime is plot heavy, it involves a lot of dialogues but not very much action scenes. It has a large amount of dialogues because it needs them to explain the motivation of each character and how the abilities are working together to create the result. I was not
...
paying full attention when I watched the first three episodes and already feel falling behind the plot, therefore I go back and re-watched the first three, and never put my attention on other things when I watched the later episodes. Even with my full attention I still need to pause the anime to let the plot digest a bit from time to time, and so far everything is making sense to me, and sometimes even trigger me to think about the philosophy it is trying to express.
To avoid each part of the story being stretched too long for the audience to keep track with, the anime separate itself into different "small" stories or events. This is the first time I've seen an anime presented in this style, and for me it works pretty well. At the beginning of each new story, it will tell you how many episodes this story will last, and therefore give you an overall sense of how complex this story is going to be. Normally telling the audience when the current event is going to end won't work very well, because most of the stories in anime are not very deep. However, this design works well with this particular anime because the plot is deep already, and telling the audiences how long the story is going to last will keep the entire season at a steady pace. And even you already know how long this story is going to last, you still won't guess what will happen in the last episode, so knowing which episode is going to be the end of the current event actually make me more exciting and anticipating for the final showdown.
Right now, too many animes are filled with service scenes for both male and female audiences, and the stories are often too boring to be bothered. A lot of people are complaining about this phenomenon yet here is an anime with a real story and people are giving it a low score because they didn't really use their brain to watch it? It just makes me feel like we deserve all those trash animes because when there is finally a great anime, we are not appreciating it.
Last word: if you don't understand a thing, don't rate it.
