Mixed Feelings
*contains spoilers*

I like post apocalyptic settings. I like action. I like wit and creative and critical outlooks on life. I do not like the show however, even though it has all those. Surprising, right?

Now, let's have a glance at how this comes to be? First of all - the story and characters. The story is rather shallow and vague, masking its flaws with volume, passing characters (that die off or are never seen again even if they live), tons of conversation (most of which is pointless and repetitive, to the point a lot of characters could be one and the same), and philosophical questions (that it asks and doesn't even attempt to answer or even poke at). Secondly the pacing. Now although slow (something i really don't like), it would be pretty tolerable in this show, if not for the other problems that is. Characters. Most of them are pretty one dimensional, and forgettable, not to mention that they are not very believable in most cases too. The art and sound are also pretty mediocre.

Finally, the consistency of the story and the message its trying to relay is very shaky, changing a few times, and in the end failing to properly put out the points its trying to make nearly all the time, down to the very end. Its also littered with plot holes and incomplete pictures (for example, it speaks of, and shows humans at a few points, but forgets all about them, not really telling how they fit in the world or if they can live on (despite this probably being a yes due to nothing changing much for them, and the soil being fertile). A lot of detail is also left in the shadow, for example you can't tell for a few characters if they are humans or robots, or something in between, and a lot of other important details too)

Final word - i would probably not recommend watching this to anyone, instead, i would recommend the anime "Plastic memories", as it has a similar message, but is far more emotional, believable, colorful, and to the point.
