I’m very familiar with Uchikoshi’s other works, and I decided to check out his other works, which includes this delightful anime. If the premise weirds you out, don’t worry, the fan service is scarcer than you think. I had that thought when I finished the first episode, but I put my faith into the writer, and he did not disappoint.
The art style, the character designs, and the characters are great. They’re wonderful, and I appreciate the friendship they have. The underwear designs were well-done and beautiful. Seriously, as a woman myself, I loved them and wanted them for myself. The fight scenes are spectacular.
As for the plot, it goes the way you expect a Uchikoshi plot to go. There’s twists and turns, robots, and of course multiple timelines. It wouldn’t be a Uchikoshi game without multiple timelines. I did enjoy it, and I think everything really comes together.
The music wasn’t that amazing but it was acceptable and appropriate for each scene.
For his first foray into anime, Uchikoshi hit it out of the park. I’m not surprised that it’s a sleeper hit though. Maybe it’s just a curse, since all of his work is super underrated, yet it’s really good. If you’ve made it this far into the review and enjoyed my ramblings, please check out the Zero Escape series and the AI the Somnium Files series if you haven’t. Both of them are excellent and they’re written by Uchikoshi.
