say I regretted it though since the shock value was good.
Story: Children go somewhere they know might kill them, the expected happens. I haven't seen the whole thing yet but I'm guessing it's hard or tragic obstacle after another.
Characters: Riko is unchanging and is just energetic and determined. Reg is developed and changes a tiny bit about caring for Riko, but his moral values and mindset are nothing new and this in my opinion makes a bland character. In the end, they just fall into categories and aren't multidimensional, unlike other anime MCs. So far they're predictable and uninteresting but that may change later.
This anime is unique and plot based. If you like interesting characters and good character development, I don't recommend this and you'll find it very boring.
On the other hand, if you like sci fi, symbolism, and predictable conflicts, or possibly children, I do recommend it.
