What started out as a interesting first episode with the trolley problem and set up nicely for what it's to come. But... it sort of never really went away from that, it's as though they ran out of idea on what to write? As each episode seems to use the same formula but in a different way. I mean it's not bad to repeat a idea but used it in a new creative way, this though kind of got old fast.
I don't hate it, I thought it was good at first, but I was kind of let down by it after a bit, as it just never really did much in progressing it's plot. They introduce this villain who turns out to not really exist... so that was kind of a waste of time. We see more trolley problem, but it's just solved differently each time.
I feel like the one thing that bother me the most was this situation.... you ask someone a question
Do you prefer choice A or choice B...
The person thinks about it and respond...
I pick OR
Basically how they solved some of the situation. Also maybe because I got annoyed with the whole "hero" thing. It was fine at first but it got kind of annoying lol... I mean it did have one moment that I actually liked the hero bit... but it got too repetitive. I guess I just get annoyed by those type of comments in anime lol... "I want to be this.... or that" but that's just me, I guess from all the shonen anime.
The ending was nice, but I think if it was set up better, I would've enjoyed it more. By the time we got to the end, I kind of wasn't really invested in this show anymore. If it had a better setup, that would've been a really nice way to end the show with a great emotional ending. Maybe some people did enjoy it more, but sadly not for me.
I guess this is to be expected of anime original, they are either a hit or a big miss... usually with having issue with where the plot should be going.
You know I think this show honestly would've been better with the whole issue of morale if they gave the viewers choices that them too have to think about. So that this way it's more engaging to us the audience as we decide what is "right or wrong" and sometimes it's really neither is right or wrong. But I don't know, that's just me, I would've changed things up that way to make it better.
It's not completely unwatchable or terrible, it had some funny moments. Easily the part where he's thinking about the chest lol... that episode was actually hilarious. I don't hate this show, I just think it needed a better plot. Or at least stop recycling plot. That was probably the most disappointing thing about it. Trying to do the same thing over and over again without adding much weight to it. It did it right at some parts but yeah sadly it wasn't as great as I originally had hoped for. I guess I had my hopes set too high.
