First few episodes of the anime gave me the idea that the retrieval of the Giftias is also the same as losing your loved ones or something more dramatic than that. I expected the story will progress by showing a series of dramatic retrievals of Giftias being attached to their owners. The first few episodes went like that, but halfway I felt it actually went in a different way.

It could've been better I thought.

The idea of romance is nice. I like the main problem of the story which is that you can't stay with your loved one forever since they are certain circumstances different worlds experience that makes the viewer feel the feels. Unfortunately, I felt that I didn't feel the futuristic atmosphere in the anime, like there is no distinction between Giftias and humans. It could've been better when at some point, they objected the idea of romance between Giftias or humans since they are two different concepts. I felt that the main circumstance of the anime is that the fact that they can't be together for a long time since there is a time limit before Isla is going to be retrieved. It could be the same way in a slice of life setting, wherein two lovers can't be together since the girl has an incurable disease, and they have this time limit to enjoy their precious moments. I felt the impact of Sci-fi is not that strong for me to appreciate it. The problem with Sci-fi genres is that you can't make it a sub-genre or if you're going to add sci-fi in your anime, it should be the main impact of your anime. The romance of the anime is nice, atleast it could've been better if they mixed it with a slice of life setting.

I recommend this anime if you like tragic love stories or if you like the feels of being unable to love someone due to time and to those people who think time is such a cruel entity.
