While it has an interesting premise, I kept getting put off.
- there are frequently strange editing choices where it feels like there's a scene or two missing, disrupting the flow of the animation. I've also noticed there's a tendency to reuse shots (usually when a characters backstory is brought up or influences the story - which is most jarring in ep 6)
- The show struggles with the concept of subtext.When a character is reacting to events that bring back memories or involve their past, the show beats you over the head with it. I got whats happening the first time you showed the flashback, please stop repeating that one shot without saying anything new about it. It doesn't matter how much you jumble around words. Your saying the same thing shut up.
- fanservice. Some people love it. Some hate it. I'm not a fan of it when it's during emotional or dramatic moments. Which it is a lot of the time. Also does the classic anime trope "oh im sorry i walked in on/groped you! It was totally an accident! Please dont hit me!" which was never funny imo and still isnt.
- Fight scenes are kinda meh. Some of them are pretty good. But the ones that obviously didn't get focused on are pretty one note.
- Main character is pretty boring. Like his backstory is interesting but the character himself is meh. He's got this whole i'm a hero thing going but like. Its been done. A shitload. What makes him different for literally every other shounen protagonist? So far nothing.
- I feel like that extends to the rest of the main cast. Maki is pretty cool and the leader guy too but it seems like most of the characters are just gimmicks and tropes with little else to differentiate them from said gimmicks.
Mind you i'm only 6 episodes in. Things could change. I hope they do there's potential. But i'm probably not going to keep watching.
