Story: 4
This anime's plot seriously had a lot of potential. The beginning sets you up with a conflict of technological advancement vs conservatism. It asks the questions related to change. Then, midway through, this show turns into a mahou shoujo romance between Shindo and Saraka. Instantly, Shindo changes his philosophical stance to match Saraka's. The show then becomes a one sided competition between the yaoi pairing bond between zaShunina and Shindo vs Shindo and Saraka's superluminal romance bond. In the end, there is even a Deus Ex Machina who magically, through whatever contrived plotholes, comes with powers to make Saraka's side win. I call this bullshit.
Character: 5
Most characters were 1-dimensional. Shindo and Saraka included for the most part. They're just maybe 1.5 rather than 1.0. The dynamics going on with Shindo doesn't make any sense but you can possibly just blame that on the fact that Saraka is a canon Sue who twisted the original story concept.

Everything looks pretty decent. It's possibly the best part of this anime.
Sound: 7
Sounds okay too.
Enjoyment: 5
I started off excited every week for this anime. Halfway through, that changed. By the last episode, I just laughed at how much of a trainwreck this became. The writing in this show started off good but halfway onward, becomes about as good as your typical fanfiction.net work in the last half. Only problem is, I've seen fanfiction stories that do better than this and I myself write more coherent plots than this nonsense.
Who's this show for?
-anime critics who watch almost everything anyway.
-if you enjoy "So bad it's good"/trainwrecks
Who's this not for?
-if you want a show that's plot driven
-if you don't like forced romance/poorly developed romance
-if you don't like asspulls and Deus Ex Machina
