This is... a strange one. Between the pacing, dialogue, and weird background music that is behind 99.99% of the show on a constant loop, it feels like watching a fever dream. There's one scene where the main character, Ishimori, is sick and her friends call her and ask her which direction her house is from the station and within three seconds of her telling them, whilst she is still on the phone with them, they appear on bicycles outside of her house. Another scene where Ishimori catches someone's phone that they dropped down some stairs and the person says "Thanks, bye!" before even taking their

Also, they chose a bunch of suicidal people as god candidates
