First, let me say that I've always been the type to not really enjoy the extravagant anime intros because of how cheesy and the fact that they sometimes tend to indirectly spoil parts of the show, so seeing how great yet subtle this show's intro is, I got excited.
I'm also someone who hates the anime stereotypes. If the anime is incredibly stereotypical, it's going to be hard for me to focus on the show without a grip of disgust or irritation. It's a little harder to find these stereotypes in this show, which I'm happy to report.
Now, what you care about:
The story is pretty great at the start of the show. They introduce the show and its main characters pretty well, and the progression of the story isn't extremely slow or too fast; it's pretty easy to grasp onto what's going on and apply it to what you already knew about the story.
The art is pretty much what you'd expect of an anime in 2019, but I gave it a score of 9 because they put a tiny bit more detail into objects that other artists typically don't in the animes I've seen, (i.e. cars.)
The music in the show is recycled, but done very well in my opinion. I find that these songs are very great for both people of Japan and the U.S, because they're sort of a mix of what you would hear from both countries (Though I'm severely uneducated, so take that with a grain of salt.) Some of these songs I could easily see being used as samples for rap songs when they're released for consumers in the future. Great job Yutaka Yamada, you never cease to impress.
The character development is very well done, especially in the main character.
Overall, this anime is pretty great and I definitely recommend it. You will enjoy yourself.
