| Honestly this was such a masterpiece. The story, the animation, the soundtrack were just perfect. It was such a terribly charming anime |
“Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness. Everything passes. That is the one and only thing that I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell. Everything passes.” ― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human |
| It looked more promising at the beginning. But it became a little boring afterwards. The art work was splendid though. Soundtracks too |
 |
| I really love this anime but have serious problems with the argument and its a little boring from the ep 7. Even if doesn't deserve a 9, I've put a 9 because the art is spectacular and the soundtrack too. This an example of how wasted a lot of potential, because probably never have a season 2. |
| I really liked the first 4 episodes but the episodes 5-9 were pretty much lackluster and didn't deliver on the high expectations the first 4 episodes gave me. As of now, I'm watching the last 3 episodes and it seems to be picking up again. The art and animation looks pretty nice though. Other than that I don't see my score for this anime reaching anything above a 6 |
| Me! I really loved it, the art style is so pretty and the OST, OP and ED are amazing to me. Best OP this season, if not entire 2017 (ok re:creators might top this though). Also I really liked the characters, they felt real and each of them was special to me... many complained that the MC was too boring, but I don't always need a super overpowered douch MC and it wasn't a shounen anyways. Also the story was interesting and I'd love to see a second season. This anime just touched me right from the beginning. |
| I loved it even though I think it would have been better as a 2-cour series |
| It's a great anime 9/10 for me. I am just sad that it has low score. |
| besides that you could make the arguement that the characters that die have next to no build due to the rushed start. We are told in retrospect that they were important yet most of them are barly in more than 1 Episode before they die which makes their deaths not as impactful. The idea is pretty much in that regard "Hey we need someone to get killed of to create drama . Let's take the guy that had two pieces of dialogue so far." I mean other than the first death which was a shocker and one other which was good nothing felt right. |
| I feel like the only one who likes the characters. |

Syrup- said: I feel like the only one who likes the characters. I also love the characters. I don't know why so many people didn't like them. Generic characters? At this point, who is not a generic character? I feel this is one of the most underrated anime of 2017. |
| I feel like it fell flat at a lot of points, but I really like the overall idea of the anime and I'm really hoping for a second season. The art and music were 10/10 for me though. |

phoenixalia said: Once again it shows my tastes differ with those on MAL. I feel some of the complaints this show gets could be given to shows like Mahoutsukai no Yome, and I went into that show with moderate expectations (A previous comment said "The only good thing about it is the art/setting.". That's what I felt watching MahoYome lol.) I loved Kujira no Kora. It wasn't too serious, too complicated and it didn't have too much romance. It had happiness, sadness, anger...everything. I would gladly watch a season 2, which I hope Netflix will greenlight. I want to see more manga like this get adapted into an anime. Not just your usual school romance with popular guy and no-name girl. More rich adventure fantasies like this one. 8/10. I think problem lies how the early story fold itself. I kinda hated how futile the whale children like but i guess author wants to be like that so okay. I mean come on see Suou fight with the pink haired dude he seems like exactly likes a girl but i guess its fucking Shoujo genre so i could let it pass. Same to the review complain about the character design, it's a fucking Shoujo Manga and i think it looks pretty good for a shoujo genre. There's some chill moments and stuff but sometimes it fells to a cliche. Overall it seems promising it fell short and the first 9 episode felt like an introduction more than anything making people disappointed with the anime. I know exactly where this is going so I'll just assume it's advertised and there won't be any sequel. As anime it was okay, good but disappointing. Maybe it would be better if it was 24 episode or something guess the contract and sale said no. 7/10 for anime overalls 8/10 for enjoyment. |
| 9/10 from me. Very entertaining. Soundtrack is golden and most episodes have good animation. Not sure where they'll go with the storyline if they continue it, but I'll happily watch more. Some plot points are played for the drama, but the episodes didn't get derailed. I like a series that leaves me thinking there's a chance the protagonist(s) won't win. Maybe I just enjoy the Anthropic Principle. Lykos is my favorite of the main cast. |

| It felt like the director was thinking: "Oh, I don't care about direction, plot and characters. All I need to do to make a masterpiece is cute art and music". Honestly, after episode 7, I got angry at this show. The story was so bad, and all the show did was make cute moments and thought that would solve everything |
 |
| I really liked the anime, but the problem is the TRUE plot started when the anime finish, all that was covered was prologue. |
| I loved this show and thank God i dont care so much for the MAL score. The thing is the story is a typical long one, and the anime covered just the begin. Imagine if a classic like FMA just was "finished" in its 12th episode despite all the long history beyond that? When this climax of this first arc whas achieved i immediately realized that the "last" episodes would be vague, since they are too few to devenlop and conclude a second arc. Aside that, this show is full of emotions, amazing drawning, poetry, adventure, a touch of romance, and there is no plot holes, with the questions being awnsered in the right time. Far above the average. 9/10. And now i'll be following the manga. |
 |
| ME !!! I randomly found the manga,started it and loved it ! Honestly didn't expect it to have an anime at all so when it was annouced I was OVERJOYED Barely anyone talked about it tho >:( |
 |
| I love this anime so much that I'm a bit surprised there were never much noise about it, not even a bit (I mean just look at the state of this forum, very few non-episode posts). I find it very strange : in my opinion, taste aside, this anime is quite unique and special, reminiscent of weird non-standard-fantasy animes such as Eureka Seven and Shinsekai yori, typically with a small yet strong fanbase. This is not the case here apparently. This is even more frustrating to me that it is that kind of story that doesn't have a "finish" (yet, I hope). Still a 9/10 for my taste. |
| The static and pre drawn backgrounds actually didnt feel bad, having an almost water color painted, old school look to them. Like a cross between Castle in the Sky and Nausica. BEautiful end theme. |
| I just finished it and while I understand much of people's criticism, I can't help but love it and hope for a sequel some day. I feel like most of the characters had very realistic flaws and it felt like they could really have been a friend or a family-member of me. I am not one to get appalled by spiritualistic topics or theme and this one was truly wholesome, yet gruesome at the same time. And with that the art and music were awesome. I feel it's underrated AND underwatched, but that might be just because this isn't the show for everyone. Which is fine too, if you ask me. |
