Giving an overall review of this, while the story does have a few (very ignore-able) plot holes here and there (this is coming from the person who hates pretty much all plot holes) it doesn't detract from the show or message at all. The art is just truly gorgeous and there is no (you heard me right) oversexualization of ANYONE. From a show with this description, I was expecting a lot of panty-shots or fetishization of high school girls, but it's truly respectful in its subject material.
The music isn't anything special, but the voice actors did an amazing job, and even the dub isn't bad! It's not stellar, but the dub voices fit the characters well and do a pretty good job portraying emotions without sounding like a joke.
The characters were phenomenal. Every single struggle is relatable and there aren't very many "stereotyped" characters. I could relate to everyone on some level and couldn't find it in me to dislike a single one despite their flaws. Even the minor characters with barely any lines had vibrant, distinguishable personalities. The struggles faced by the characters are very true to those most face in high school, or at least the ones I've faced.
Overall, this was a great experience. It was engaged, had a vibrant cast of characters and different arcs that all worked seamlessly together, and maintained enough mystery about the development of these characters that it had me struggling to do anything else-- I had to finish this all in one go!
I would recommend this especially if you enjoy school anime, character development, or the main character hiding something big from the rest of the cast. Fans of ERASED should like this!
Have a great day! :)
