To put it simply: If you're looking for something with a gripping and intricate plot that puts you on the edge of your seat and keeps you clicking 'next episode' all night long, this probably isn't the series you should watch right now.
The plot of GC, as well as a decent share of the characters' developement, are often convoluted. This series' success is not based on intriguing the audience by jumping through psychological hoolahoops, so I repeat, if that is the key feature you're looking for, I'm sorry but your princess is in a different castle.
DON'T LET THAT BE ALL YOU TAKE FROM THIS REVIEW
I know you finished that paragraph and started inching your mouse towards the back button. Keep reading. You silly goose.
That being said, I apologize for starting this review so negatively. The plot really isn't that bad, I'd even say it's more than decent, given the following;
This series' plot is very clearly, and I can't stress this enough, an EXCUSE for your computer to throw top grade animation at your eyes, invading them with an excellently chosen and utilized color pallet, while assaulting your ears with music such that each individual scene could be scored a 10/10 out of context.
The beauty of this show makes up for what it lacks in regards to coherency.
A quick note on characters; The characters of this show are nothing to write extensively about, though that's not to say they're designed badly. The personality tropes designated to each character are handled quite well, and there are a few dialogues that do stand out as uniquely well done; all in all, characterization is not an issue for this series, beyond a few awkward spots in backstories.
So to summarize this quick how-dee-doo-dee:
1. If you don't mind that the plot won't knock your socks off
2. And you don't mind that some things might not make sense...
3. ... Because they're only there to allow the artist behind it all to express himself to his fullest
4. And finally, you like it when things are colorful and pretty and flashy and sound good and whatnot
Then yes. You should totes watch this show.
Your eyes and ears will enjoy it, and your mind won't hate it.
Hope I helped, toodles!
