Never before have I been more frustrated with an anime. They take nine billion years to drag out a simple story arc and then try to wrap it all up in a few episodes towards the end. In doing so, they disregard so many of the said nine billion years of world building rules to do so. The poor character choices were not substantiated, in spite of the time taken to tell a simple story. Never before have I seen such blatant reliance of poor communication between characters (in order to push the story in a particular direction) and between the producers and their audience (because don’t worry about it, we are all stupid). And I have watched a LOT of anime. Ugh. Don’t believe the hype and reviews. I did and now I just want my life back from the time wasted from watching it. How on EARTH is this anime rated so highly? It makes itself and then destroys itself, at its own expense might I add. Not in an artful way like many other great anime do (eg: neon genesis for making a powerful take on philosophy in spite of itself), but by gradually destroying the strong foundation it’s spends sooooooo long building for itself. Utter junk. This anime was made for children who can’t remember what happened 3 episodes ago and who don’t understand basic comprehension and communication skills. I want my life back.
