How this anime manages to get so much character development into it when there are 10 characters but only 23 episodes is quite frankly baffling. As well as providing these superb character arcs throughout the course of this series the story is also fantastically compelling and makes sense. It provides rivals from other running teams and a race format that allows the characters to internally and externally challenge and reflect on their own ideas to the outrageous plan Haiji imposed on these normal people.
This isn't a perfect anime though, aside from a few cosmically spellbinding scenes the general art style is pretty average, and I honestly can't remember a single second of the music over the 23 episodes.
But does this matter? Did I enjoy this anime any less because of those flaws?
Of course not
