Reviews, with context
Season impressions · 5 sampled opinions, not a site-wide consensus.
Appreciated
These reviews specifically praise the retro background art, 2D shot transitions, and coordination with music. Some find the early and middle sections' direction and visual texture enough to sustain their interest.
Reservations
Disputes concern repeatedly emphasized themes without a clear payoff, characters insufficiently integrated into the main story, and a rushed conclusion. Some also dislike the coordination of direction and script; praise is not uniform beyond the audiovisual elements.
