Story 10/10
Unconventional writing of a story , first time I got impressed by a 13 episodic series , This series does not seem rushed , the deconstruction of the storytelling method appealed to me that much, the only con that you can face is that you may feel that you may miss some stuff because tying all events happening feels impossible , the story is shown from several perspectives , with each one with his own goal and may be related or not to other characters in the show , yet the nice part is when the paths intertwine with each other as things that seem as unexplainable events are explained later from the other people's perspectives, and that's the best of the show , the show keeps the story interesting by having short events then changing to another character perspective while providing you with a cliffhanger , I also recommend watching the specials because they are basically what I could say filling of some gaps left after watching the show. I also applaud the series for the creativity in the method of writing.
Art 7/10
The Art sometimes looks like a candy eye to the viewer and sometimes it looks as a product of laziness from the artists, the gore scenes though are handled really well , the animation sometimes gets fluid but other times there are some choppy scenes. I was not impressed with the art.
Sound 10/10
The Opening , The Ending , The Music , The Voices , Everything in it is just perfect , A plus for the dub version is for using Slang terms that fit within character but I overall prefer the subs because it is livelier and gives a better attachment to the characters. the music perfectly fits within the show.
Characters 9/10
A series with such an unconventional storytelling must have an unconventional way for introducing the characters , and that is the next best thing in this series , with an equal love to each character , you don't get to follow one character but many, you get to experience every character's experience from their own perspective. I couldn't root for any character to be honest, the downsides is that I felt that the characters didn't get enough development and a feeling of emptiness that you want to see more but that is not a con , the only con I see is its hard to keep track of who the characters are. you will find yourself forgetting the characters names a lot and even though the opening helps you remember them , you feel like needing to memorize them.
Enjoyment 10/10
Well , It was hell of a ride *Literally* , even when I didn't like the art I didn't seem bothered by it , Especially with a cliffhanger at every turn , I doubt it won't be enjoyable by anyone.
Overall (10 + 7 + 10 + 9 + 10) /5 = 9.2
Ceiling 9.2 = 10
so its a 10/10 (Masterpiece)
