Never before have I seen an anime with so much in it do nothing. It's a great examination of various ethical questions that arise within the setting of the world, but there's no end goal to answering these questions, with a lot of the basic plot setup from the first episode just going nowhere. I enjoyed my time with this show, but it's difficult to recommend.
The main cast are enjoyable enough, and definitely stand out from eachother, but a lot of the episode to episode side characters start suffering from a strong case of same face once you've been at it long enough. Conversely,

from a growth perspective, watching these side characters grow seems to be the main focus, with the main cast themselves not really being any different in the last episode than they were in the first.
My final critique comes from the final episode itself, as it almost feels like the entire show was just a setup to get you familiar with the world, with the final scenes feeling very 'second season' bait.
There is some lgbt+ rep, if that's something you're looking for, but for the most part it has very little impact on the story being told, from a larger perspective, or just from a character view. It's nice to have rep that feels casual, and to a degree that exists here, but there's a little too much questioning about the norm to be entirely comfortable, and if you're looking for your next big gay or trans anime, this isn't going to be it.
