Do you remember the feel of those boring slow-paced mystery-hentai visual novels? Well that's how this show feels with its boring visual novel pacing, lines and characters. But WOW, you need to bear with it cause the story is just something else. I dropped it by episode 7 and then finished it like a month after, that's how boring and uninspired it was, but now I feel this is one of the best anime of the year. No, I don't put story above all else, in fact I always care more for the characters, voice-acting and artwork more than anything, but Island's story was so good that even with it being just average in all other categories, the story makes up for it in the last few episodes.

The bottom line is that certainly it could have been done a lot better, with better pacing and dialogue, but I'm just glad that I've seen it.
