So the story starts as a casual, normal school life comedy, with the exception that the characters have superpowers that have terrible twists. The main story seems to be interacting with others who also have superpowers and convincing them to not use theirs for their own safety. Other than that, some comedy here and there, some student bonding, etc. So far, so good. This was going on for almost half of the number of anime episodes.
And then, after that, a cruel, terrible plot twist suddenly appears. Don't get me wrong, there was some drama from the first six episodes regarding one of the main characters, but it seems small compared to the sudden despairful tragedy that befalls one of the other main characters. There was almost no buildup to the suddenness, it just came out of nowhere out of this sweet, relaxing slice of life school comedy about a group of people helping people, that turned it suddenly into a drama. Okay, so this seems to be a drama anime after all, but I totally did not like this plot twist when the anime was a completely different genre an episode ago, or actually for the first half of the whole anime.
Anyway, now that is out of the way... The rest wasn't much better. It actually got worse from that moment to the finish. There was some character development going on with the MC after the tragedy which was pretty decent, the secrets about the whole world was revealed, relationship development between the main cast. Which is cool if it wasn't done under three episodes. I feel that all of these data dumps and development dumps could have been done better if they were more spread out and done in five to six episodes or so. Also, that tragedy was able to somehow reverted because of some deus ex machina stuff.
By this time there were three more episodes left. One episode for introducing more drama and removing that deus ex machina, one episode for resolving the stories of the other people, and the final episode that could have been made into a whole anime series. Albeit a shitty one because everything that was happening in that final episode was unbelievable. Although it IS unbelievable that all those content were somehow fit in inside one final episode, with the makers thinking that this was somehow a brilliant idea. Oh well.
I don't judge much on art and sound, but they were pretty decent by my standards.
Anyway, so far so bad. So we had a terribly made and terribly paced story, with decent art and music. I should add that the characters were also terrible too. The main character was initially interesting in the first episode, but somehow turned into a bland protagonist in the second, and never came back to that entertaining guy from the first one. The rest were just terrible clichés without real depth. Also, with all the mundaneness of the first half of the anime, there was no development with the main cast. And at the second half of the anime, three of the main cast were basically irrelevant to the story already. Absolutely horrid and dreadful.
Overall, a damn waste of time. It had an amazing premise, I actually like stories where regular people have superpowers. And I didn't mind the school comedy slice of life from the first half since I actually enjoy a lot of anime like that.
However, the rest: the sudden and out of nowhere drama genre shift introduced at the middle, the terrible pacing, the comedy that pops out every now and then to ruin everything, the episodes that could have done better if they were spread out in more than one, the terrible characters (those in the main cast and those in the second half of the anime that they force you to care about), and that BS finale. These was just all too much. And these will be the reasons why I give this anime a low score.
