But it does have some innovation or things done before but rarely seen like time travel and the titular buddy system.
The big issue with the story, though, is its pacing, most of the content it copies were series that did them in 2 to 4 cours, this does it in 1 cour and leaves us on a cliff-hanger
Art: 5 - The character designs were okay, not the best fit for a series of this genre but it's not bad. The mechanical designs were fairly unique.
Sounds: 5 - Nothing too special. The OP and ED at okay to listen to.
Character: 5 - The inclusion of a time-travel element works in this regard; the fish-out-of-water journey of Aoba was quite captivating, how he adapts to life in the future, searching for his old home and school. Most of those outside the main characters felt like clichés, however.
Enjoyment 5: A series a few good ideas held back by its pacing and vast amounts of genericity.
Overall: (4+5+5+5+5)/5 = 4.8, rounds up to 5
