not many anime series have made me dribble into a puddle of sobbing, primordial slop following an episode - less series have made me do so over a string of 4 to 5 episodes, without room to breathe. right from jump, nothing feels -quite right- as if there's always an air of uncertainty looming within every interaction. even when you're flashbanged an entire cast within just a few minutes (some, who aren't even addressed by name right away) there's an eerie vibe that continues to not settle well. keep in mind, that that vibe gets worse and worse, as you progress through the plot and each twist the series throws at you.

triggering subject matter is found throughout, more than i can list off the top of my head so proceed with caution. its usage of cgi is very "of its time", but the key take away for me is that it's so "of its time" that it unironically achieves a certain uncanniness that, oddly in an aesthetic sense, benefits the genre as well as the type of subject matter the series spirals into - even more so enhancing the aforementioned "eerie" vibes. it's a very traumatic series with a hefty cast that you will most certainly feel for to varying extents. even if you aren't a wet piece of tissue paper such as myself and shed not nary a tear to this anime, i doubt you'll ever forget it - not because of the mecha fights, don't come here for that. come and sit and stay, to contemplate what life on this earth means and what (if anything at all) is worth protecting when you're up against all odds.

sidebar: it's one you'll wanna watch the OP for each episode (and not only because the song is probably one of the best in the history of this universe, but- watch for yourself, feel everything)
