I dunno if I'm smart enough to understand all the complex themes and motifs in this anime. But, the main message I got from it was this...

Having suffered from depression for the past 10 years, I saw this as a message that no matter how many times you fall down in life, you have the chance to be "reborn". Nothing stops you from grasping fulfillment and happiness in the future.

It's a really important message because it's all too easy to become stuck in past regrets or lose hope for the future.

This anime had more emphasis on loss of passion and the fact that you can rediscover it again and again, which is a bit different from shounens. I think shounens typically give more broad never give up messages. For example in Boku no Hero Academia Deku vs Muscular. Though having said that, starlight actually feels like it has shounen elements in it for sure.

I guess you can see it as lame and cheesy and generic. Maybe you are a strong, mentally tough individual who has no need for stuff like this, but I think lots of people in the lowest points of their lives need to hear this message in a well crafted way.
