Interesting show to say the least, it's up to interpretation either this show is good or a complete garbage.
Well I will explain to you why this is an outstanding show, the best of winter season 2021.
Story:
Story is pretty simple and you could get it from the premise, but basically it's a bunch of teens fighting against depression and suicidal thoughts in human form.
Every episode is a one week adventures, roughly connected with one another. An evil force is mostly metaphorical, rather than being a real thing, but as show goes on we uncover some stuff in reality also.
As a standalone episodes are really good with giving you an important message.
Art is movielike, fight scenes in this show are the best, very colourful and well drawn.
Each character has unique design which in a way represents their personalities. Everything is fluid, backgrounds are well drawn.
Not much to say about it, other than that being an excellent piece of work from the artists.
Sound design are very good, some scenes are silent than it is necessary, OST as a whole is alright. Opening is unique, cause of how quite it is, that actually works perfectly with the saddest episodes, ending is sung by main cast voice actors, song is upbeat and catchy, idk if it fits, but I was ok with it.
Characters.
Well, characters is something why I enjoy this type of shows, and this one doesn't let me down. Each character has a distinct personality and goal, all of the have their own stuff to deal with.
Trauma is real in this show and it making me feel what the characters feel at the moment of time.
Characters progress, and have more development as the show goes on. Slice of life moments are so good, and these heartwarming moments just making me feel even more sad than something traumatic happens to them.
Enjoyment:
You definitely will enjoy this anime if you enjoying weird psychological dramas like Eva, or Madoka Magica. If you are not fan of these shows than you might enjoy it, idk, but I liked that either way.
Overall:
So that just ended on an... ... interesting point, there has to be another season overwise idk what to make of this. I will give it a ten for now and wait for the some announcement from the studio if there is gonna be an additional episodes or not.
*Update so additional special, was comedically bad, but I won't change this review, cause some people seem to like it.
Thanks for reading my first review!
Enjoy the show.
