The sense of journey and progression in this show is very prevalent, the characters are not the things progressing mostly , but the story is.
It sometimes has jarring changes of pace , but I was not annoyed by it as much as other people.
I liked the gritty and original art style, the amazing music and the voice acting a lot.
The general production quality of this show is really great and it’s almost worth watching the show because of that fact alone
It seems like a very complex shonen at first , but the amount of drama and character focus quickly shouts ‘’seinen!’’
The show ends with little questions answered and a second season is on the way , this is a good thing since I often see directors trying to cram their story in a single 12, or even 20 episode package and it failing because of lack of time.
The amount of flack the characters get from reviewers and people is apparently because the characters are ‘’all over the place’’, this is in my opinion only true for the main character.
The characters’ behavior can also be explained by their tragic history and the tragedies that they face during the show.
In my opinion it makes all the more sense for some of them to make actions that seem rash or illogical.
Both of the openings are also stellar and reflect the ‘’fight for survival’’ theme of the show well.
I guess the reason this show is really special to me it its originality , it does not pander to tits , it does not copy existing formulae.
It simply comes up with an interesting premise and delivers on it.
The 3d 2d combo fight scenes with a whole friggin orchestra playing , very impressive
In the end , it’s something completely different from the standard shonen routine.
