Mixed Feelings
I found this show to be very repetitive and sometimes boring, some might say that the repetitiveness is part of the show but I honestly couldn't care less if it is or not because I was genuinely waiting for something to change throughout the majority of the season.

As someone who is new to anime and came across this because of all the positivity surrounding it I am severely disappointed with this show. I have to note that I did watch the English version on Netflix as I don't find enjoyment from watching in Japanese with English subtitles.

The voice acting was very sub par in my opinion, some characters lacked life and emotion, however the main protagonist can be amusing and the voice actor conveys his emotions well.
Other characters can just be damn right annoying and are not voiced well at all.

The animation is also very sub par, visuals are very dull and the characters look a little strange and inhuman-like. The visuals don't effect the score at all, although they are lacklustre.

The main plot is interesting, time travel is a hard concept to pull off because of it being an unknown science and at first I was excited to see where they were going to go, but in the end I was left disappointed by just the lack of scope and ambition throughout the show, because at the end of the day you want to see new and exiting scenes in a animated show because you can just let your imagination run wild and do wonderful things that you couldn't necessarily do on a live action show. But this entire show could of been done without using animation and on a tight budget. The show is also just very strange, again I am not that familiar with anime but as a newcomer I was left asking myself...why? I don't think the vision the creators had truly reflected on the show because some things just seem off, pacing is very frantic and you would do well to keep track. This wasn't my first anime, my first anime was full metal alchemist brotherhood which I very much enjoyed throughout, I just feel that was a well put together show compared to this with no annoyances and it always kept you on your toes, I can't say the same for this show, I struggled to watch some of it because I didn't care much for what was happening, I felt dettacthed from the experience. They use the same boring plot device for various episodes and I was close to quitting the show it got that tedious. The show has a few moments where you go "wow they went there" which was a pleasant surprise but it eventually gets predictable and bland.

The show just wasn't for me, it was OK in the end. People new to anime me be in the same boat as me but those more experienced with anime may get more enjoyment out of it. Just very average in my opinion.
