And, if you're like me, you hate hate it when situations could have been better for everyone if someone had just reacted faster! A lot of what I hated was how a lot of the female characters were held up by male characters, which is a huge situation with that "old fashion" mind set. Not that anyone is getting their relationship advice from anime, esply old anime, but this has some very toxic and creepy stuff in it. The end was also pretty creepy, to be honest.
And, there's a story conflict of "grind til you die" and "take care of yourself, and do what love". Somethings it's "grind til you die, doing what you love." but the bleeding obsession with "work hard", and anyone who doesn't is a hot mess is a casting shadow on the series for me.
But, most of the characters that come into play have deep, serious meaning. Everyone learns a lesson, and the story pays off for the most part. And, it's thankfully not an "all work no play" series - where the characters get to take breaks from life threatening danger, and have fun.
As much as I enjoyed it, I wouldn't suggest it to just anyone. Mostly for the toxic messages about relationships and how long it is.
