The narrative is overly cautious and underperforms in numerous areas, exhibiting a linear moral perspective among its characters that is too simplistic. The dialogues operate on a surface level, merely echoing conventional Shonen ethics without delving into deeper layers. The show-runners seem to underestimate their audience's capacity for subtle understanding, providing little room for the "show, don't tell" approach to storytelling. This issue, compounded by an over-reliance on repetitive plot devices such as flashbacks, disrupts the rhythm and pace of many events, resulting in a narrative that feels stretched out and hard to endure between the visually appealing sequences.
However, the anime does have redeeming qualities. It dedicates time to the careful unravelling of its story, ensuring it never feels too taxing or overwhelming. The clarity with which the storyline is presented is commendable, although this is often due to repetitive sequences and the protagonist's ever-present inner monologues, which comment on almost everything for the audience that is already visible on screen.
