Wow. What an incredible Anime. Some minor spoilers Ahead, scroll to the bottom for a Spoiler Free Summary. But otherwise don't read if you want to feel the full swerve of episode 1 trust.
I honestly couldn't have had a bigger swerve of a first episode in all of anime. That was so unexpected. I seriously just kept getting more and more engaged as the series went on. Imagine Among Us and Anime combined into a season of 13 episodes. This NEEDS to have a second season because it was just so well done.
Aside from my thoughts, I will rate it according to Soundtrack, art, story, and general enjoyability and combine it all into a final rating.
Soundtrack (20/25):
The Opening and Ending songs are pretty forgettable. What's ironic about that is the OST that plays DURING the anime is top-notch. I repeatedly found myself bopping along to the soundtrack or getting within the feels of the anime. It was very good and played the tone and mood perfectly. If it wasn't for the completely forgettable Opening and Ending I would've rated this a perfect 25/25.
Art (22/25):
The art was very well done and had a somewhat generic animation style, but that helped bring in the contrast of the MC's characterization and how she is absolutely bonkers and a murderer, I loved the animation, it was smooth, clean, and had great backgrounds and places. It's literally like an Amongus map that has semi-convenient plot locations like episode 13 but also repeated ones that pop up from prior episodes, so it is worth watching out for.
Plot (24/ 25):
I want to give it a 25 so badly, but unfortunately, I have to admit that the side characters are legit dumb as rocks. The only 3 characters who have IQs above 10 are NaNa, Kyouya, Tachibana, and MAYBE the villain in episodes 12 and 13. Everyone else is legit the dumbest mf on planet Earth. Although the plot explains why they act the bratty way and whatnot because they have talents, it's still hard to see how they're THIS dumb, at some point you've got to smarten up because mf around you are DYING AND DEAD. It's still great to see how all this plays out, and I am dying for season 2, but so far this season has had a very coherent plot, and does well-making things connect from episode to episode.
Enjoyability (25/25):
I thoroughly enjoyed this anime. The plot, the swerves, and the twists. They're so well done your brain will be like a rope trying to figure it all out. And the best part is that it all makes sense. Wouldn't say on Attack On Titan tier plot relevance, but holy shit this stuff is addicting to see play out. Thoroughly enjoyed and I probably would watch it again if season 2 comes out.
Overall, this anime was thoroughly entertaining and I binged it all in one night trying to see how the MC gets caught and all the drama that's happening, and what will happen next. Will rewatch it again if season 2 comes out and I highly recommend it to everybody simply for the crazy twists and swerves this show will give you. Although it does have some absolutely brain-dead characters, seeing that is what makes it enjoyable and gives you a dilemma if the MC is a good or bad guy or conflicted.
