I was prompted to write this review because I never felt this much regret for wasting my wonderful Sunday watching a series. I mean, yeah sure I have always been good at wasting time it's like my only talent, but to actually regret my decision? Now, that's phenomenal.
Then I read ZephSilver's review and I could greatly relate to it so much I, for one, wished MAL would implement a comment section for people like me to support the review.
This series is the epitome of forced drama. Oh boy, the 1st episode had me expecting for greater purpose and justification. BUT NO I WAS LEFT DISAPPOINTED MORE THAN READING BLEACH'S ENDING.
Simply put, it's like your typical teen angst drama, but instead of your typical angsty teenager as protagonist, they decided to throw in 2 listless, emotionless, deadpan protagonists and the ones doing all the teen angst burst of emotion are the side characters.
Well, hoorray? NOT.
Drama that forced audiences to empathize the characters was barf-worthy enough but forced romance too? *screams internally*
I can still still tolerate good vs evil kind of angst but in the end this is all about a girl who strung along everyone around her with her problem. And what caught my interest in the first episode was nothing more than a charade to cover the lack of solid plot lines.
The art was the only reason I didnt drop this because I'm a sucker for sleek animation. If only this series didnt try hard to be philosophical and experimental, I probably would have forgiven the half-baked attempt.
