The narrative starts off fine, you know, copy stuff from Jun Maeda and make yourself look like some wet market version of Shaft seems to do the trick, I can now understand why Netflix is so popular with the community. But then we go into the second half which kills any initial vibe and setup because there is a new plot device at play, honestly, with what the story had going for itself, it would have been better to take the generic route of "boy meets girl" story and just left it at that. I will say, however, that the change in the story wasn't something I'd outright dislike, it had its good moments, and for a small brain reviewer person like myself it sure as hell made it enjoyable to watch without any kind of random incoherent actions just ruining everything. The characters are pretty much handled by the story, so anything about them didn't even matter too much in the long run, at least they were people instead of representations.
Audiovisuals are interesting, it looked good throughout and the style was something I took a liking to, fits the theme very well. It does look a little unembellished at times but I would imagine it is part of the style. Audio is pretty good too, solid OST but it is more on the simpler side of things than anything. Seiyuus good, that is kinda their job, maybe I should stop saying stuff about seiyuus from now on :shrug:
I somewhat enjoyed this. I won't lie, I was out here going to give this a 5/10 because it did a thing that just went a little sideways and just didn't meet even generic standards at times, but it was a little fun. Overall, this is recommendable, but I would watch this if you have seen like 20-30 original movies that have no franchise connected to them. You can look at this as pass the time type anime.
Since when was Netflix good tho 🤷.
