I think its rather easy to underestimate this anime. I think the primary reason is because people are expecting a single cour anime that will get things over with. However, this is not the case with this anime. It progresses slowly, but it builds the characters and the world step by step.

Its trying to do a lot. Its trying to be shounen and romance at the same time. It is trying to simultaneously write the heroic journey of two people, and that takes time.

My advice is that you will enjoy this anime more and more as the show continues to progress, and as the characters are chiselled out from dull simplistic identities to characters with nuances. Managing to this, i.e. making an anime for the long haul and focusing on slowly fleshing out the relationships is difficult and takes time.

This reminds me a lot of Steins;Gate. I hated the first 10 episodes. But later on it got so good that I couldn't stop watching. I still haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I sure hope that the anime series continues to improve both its characters and its story line.

8/10.
