This show is like eating the world's best bag of popcorn but there's a hole at the bottom of the bag and you only get to eat a few handfuls of those wonderful popped kernels before it all falls to the floor.
I want to love this show. I really really do.
But unfortunately the ending is just way to disappointing. I feel like if the show had a second season to spread it's story out it would've made a huge difference, but that's more than wishful thinking given the fact that it didn't do that well in Japan.
I actually watched the series
...
twice on Toonami before I realized episode 12 was the actual ending. So there's essentially a lot of build up with no pay off, and it honestly feels like the show doesn't even have a real ending- it just stops.
I'd say overall, despite everything I just said and ignoring the trash ending, I'm really glad I got to watch and re-watch DMWL.
I understand why a lot of people have come to loath this show, but I think that the good parts of this show are REALLY good, and I feel like it makes up for the last episode (in an overall sense). As long as you can deal with the fact that the "journey" was more fun than the "destination" you'd probably love this show.
I don't know if this review will convince anybody of anything, but if you really want to decide if your going to watch DMWL, I'd say you should give the first episode a try at the very least. The setup is the perfect level of intense.
