Story:
Beyond the Boundary uses plenty of Red Herrings and "this is how it is, because it is" explanations to propel the plot forward. It keeps you on an IV drip of information that is just enough to grasp what is about to happen. I never feel like I knew what is going to happen next. The universe of Beyond the Boundary has a lot of depth to it and learning more about it keeps the viewer motivated to continue watching.
Art:
Nicely drawn and animated; another series with the now standard super-detailed-almost-creepy-but-cute-at-the-same-time eyes on the female characters. The fight scenes have so much stuff going on in them and it looks fantastic. Environments were detailed and looked lived-in, it was interesting to look at the backgrounds and pick out minute details.
Sound:
Loved the music in Beyond the Boundary, especially the outro song. The FX used in the fights were also top notch.
Character:
Aside from the two main protagonists, Mirai and Akihito, none of the characters really stood out. The side characters do develop - but the issue is their personalities weren't very interesting to begin with, so I never found myself caring overmuch about them unless it related to Mirai and Akihito. Beyond the Boundary has one of the most genuine relationships between two characters that I've seen in recent memory and that relationship essentially carries the entire show from start to finish.
Enjoyment:
An acceptable story and a substantial budding romance allowed me to get fully invested into Beyond the Boundary's story, and I enjoyed it the whole way and I am very interested in the new season coming out eventually.
Overall:
A solid 8/10 anime that keeps you guessing with a intriguing plot; along with one of the most sincere love interests I've ever seen.
