i don't even want to state everything i love about this show, but ill try just because i want to recommend this show to everyone. i'll just say its a breath of fresh air, its beautiful, its meaningful, its captivating, its immersive, its funny, its epic and well animated, has amazing music and its genius. i dislike not a single character in this show i love all of them and it has more life lessons than anything i've ever watched and it does it so well. this anime changed me and shaped me in a way no other anime did, its a modern classic. im

honored to be able to watch this while it's airing, the best anime ever made, at least for me. an instant favorite. 10/10
art style and animation - 10/10
the art is really nice and recognizable, and the animation is super fluid and eye pleasing, just overall nothing to complain about.
pacing and storytelling 10/10
the pacing and use of flashbacks in this show are IMMACULATE, they work so well it's insane how well everything just fits together and progresses the story and lets the viewer learn more about the characters. The best use of flashbacks ive ever seen in a show and the story is just so much fun to follow and makes the viewer, at least me, reconsider how you should be living your own life. There are so many things the show teaches you that it's like therapy, things that people should already know but have maybe forgotten. Also i find the story pretty unpredictable, since this show is about a journey thats after the supposed "main quest" of every grand heroic story. The demon king has been killed, so like, you have no idea what the characters are going to be doing in the next episode, and that is really refreshing, the characters have goals, but the show isnt really about the goals, its more so about the things that happen on the way.
characters 10/10
the characters are just amazing. they don't have the most complex backstories, they're pretty ordinary, but the way these, to us ordinary anime backstories shape these characters, and the lessons the story wants you to learn through the characters are beautiful and are done SO WELL, every character has their own shining personality with their own flaws and imperfections, they all learn from each other and teach us important life lessons while being funny, entertaining, interesting, and at times, badass. Watching the characters overcome their weaknesses or turn their weakness into their greatest strengths is really nice.
music 9/10
everytime the music has hit ive gotten goosebumps or teary eyes, its beautiful and really sets the scene for the show. the opening and ending songs are also pretty darn good!
meaningful life lessons
i have mentioned "lessons" many times in this review and i dont want to go too deep into it so you can go and experience it yourself. But as an example, one of the first lessons the show will teach you is: valuing those important to you, spending as much time with them as possible and making many memories together, cherish the people you know and love, because time flows fast. I could go very deep into this and start talking about, for example, the character stark, but i'll leave that to you to uncover.
Now i know this show might not be for everyone. some people might find there's lack of action even though that is not the point of the show at all and i think you are watching it for the wrong reasons.. or that the characters arent complex enough for you. Every show is meant for different kinds of people, however i strongly recommend everyone to give this show a go. For me it might be a 10, for you it might be something else. But this show deserves your attention and i don't think you will regret watching it. This show has been life changing for me.
