This is one of the most overrated anime out there. Unlike many other anime this one takes a more serious tone but it really devolves into just being an anime that includes the elements that are present in more serious anime rather than tell a good story.

Story

The story itself is broken into three arcs, this is problematic and would cause the story to suffer. The background of the story that a sudden outbreak in a few people obtaining telekinesis powers results in dystopian feudalistic future. The story talks about a few characters and their lives in school and then as adults and their understanding of the world and interactions.

The anime sets up a premise that has pretty big flaws, ones that it doesn't really address or even provide any sort of explanation for. It simply establishes that somehow people with telekinesis wouldn't continue to wage war among themselves. There is no explanation of what would be created to limit destructive behavior, the viewer would have to simply make a guess.

Because of the 3 arc format, it means that a lot of elements of the story are just thrown at audience rather than developed. This makes the story appear to be a cliff note version, with elements rapidly introduced and then removed to make room for other ones.

Of the three arcs the first one is remotely watchable, the other two are either weird or boring. The first one explains the world that the characters inhabit and gives away the entire plot, which is government doing shady things. The problem is that because of the formatting or because of the creator’s wish to create an anime that is more “unique” than well developed the plot doesn’t exactly fit, as the explanations for this “shady” behavior isn’t all that shady. The second arc is focused on romance but because of the 3 arc format the story is hastily thrown in together with the characters acting in odd ways making the whole 2nd arc simply odd, weird and just overall pointless. The third arc simply confirms what the audience learned in the first arc, the government does shady things, but not really.

Art

I cannot say that there is anything all that good about the art. It wasn’t bad just nothing remarkable and interesting. There was a possibility of creating some interesting art but it wasn’t done.

Sound

The sound is where this anime does well. The music chosen is pretty spot on but not without its imperfections. That is the music at times is used to create a tense situation when the situation wasn’t tense at all and simply made the whole feeling weird.

Character

Because of the 3 arc format the character development is pushed into hyper mode creating major jumps. Nothing interesting is about the characters, they all are their own stereotypes and simply are boring. They don't develop in any sort of way.

Enjoyment

This anime was one that showed a lot of promise but because the creators wanted to create a unique anime than a good one meant that whole thing just seemed more of a marketing push than anything.

Overall

It is crap, elements are just thrown in with little to no explanation and everything about this anime was focused on creating a unique one.
