I can easily say that this is one of the worst, if not the worst, things that good ole' Nippon has ever delivered to anyone ever. Ever.

It was clear from the start that this show didn't have anything resembling a budget as proven as the terrible decision to rotoscope the entire show. It looks bad. It might have been "done on purpose" to add more "depth" to the show, but it still looks terrible. Then there's the pacing. Or lack there of. Most of the show is just nothing. Literally, nothing. There was an episode where about half of it was just walking. No ... dialogue, no inner-monologue, nothing. It just felt like a waste of time.

Then there's the characters. Ho man, the characters. I didn't like any of them. Not one. Was that the point? Probably, but it doesn't change the fact that none of these characters even interested me. Also, the fact that these kids are all in middle school really downplays the "Drama" that was put into the show itself.

The sound of the show didn't impress me either. The ending in particular was particularly awful and none of the openings to the show really left an impact on me.

I suppose most of the enjoyment comes from dissecting this pseudo-philosophical mess of a character study. It came off as pretentious with nothing really much to say. More of an insult than anything.

Overall, I don't really see how people enjoyed this show. It certainly wasn't pretty, didn't sound all that nice, and was super pretentious but had nothing to say. Kind of like a modern day hipster.
