However a few moments in I was pleasantly surprised.
Well, it was truly a mainstream shounen with action and sci-fi (although it's actually a seinen), and it certainly showed signs of being loli harem. But the main character's actions kinda discourage the loli harem aspect, with having another love interest being the same age and all. At first the balance between actual fights and mental anguish was nice since things like these are good from time to time. However overtime I find it to be excessively overused so much so my evaluations of it changed from 8+ to like, 5 or so.
I mean, people kept dying throughout the story (I hope this is not considered to be a spoiler and also there is actually quite a lot of blood in this series so that's kind of expected) and every time the main characters would just break down before reviving back to normal then someone dies and then they break and then they revive. And I just kept wondering where their continuous character development disappeared to when they keep being strong then being weak then being strong then weak. In other words, it was repetitive.
Moreover that was a most terrible way to end a series (for me). That anguish and shock (well, more like disappointment) I could feel from that sudden development at the end just totally threw me off. I mean, they just went pass the climax of the series and, normally, the tension should drop here. I mean, it's the end of a series dammit.
But no. It went up.
Then it just left.
I mean, I understand that they could've been trying to build some hype for a second season, but damn it left such a terrible taste behind. I was waiting for some ends for that last arc to be tied up as well. And I got absolutely nothing.
Lastly, I could feel the same vibe as Guilty Crown and Code Geass coming from this series. It's just how I feel, but it really feels like the MC's going to go broken sooner or later........ I mean, look at the last 15 minutes of the last episode. I'd say they're all already broken.
