When I watched the trailer I thought that this show has so much potential, I thought it could make a great movie, but a 10 episode series could have been great too, I have seen other animes make great use of such plot with a similar amount of episodes. the reason why this show failed my expectations so greatly is the following.
The story was extremely predictable, the flags are every where, if a character gets it's time to shine, you should know that you won't be seeing it for much longer, which is what reduced my enjoyment very greatly, they could have toned down the ... hints or made an effort to make a decent ending.
The all the events were as predictable as the other characters death, by the end of the first episode I predicted who would make it to the end, the anime reminded me greatly of final destination. also the fact that they were always escaping death by a few seconds made it very obvious that as long as the main characters were there then they will make it out. whenever they took a photo it is like a save point and something will happen.
The art was very pretty at times but, it was very sloppy and outright drawn weirdly half the time, I was surprised that some of the important scenes were given the same drawing style as the low budget retrospecting. the weird lined double chins put me off and the chunky huge necks and bodies made me cringe so hard. The character designs are not bad if you ignore the young boy's chestnut hair, the characters seemed realistic.
The sound quality was not bad, it didn't have any significant pieces that I can remember a day later, and I skipped the opening every episode after barely getting through it the first episode, but that is not terrible.
Most of the characters were likable, some of them came out as shady at first but you come to love them by the time they part ways some way or another.
I had high expectations and thought I would enjoy it as a nice drama, but I switched midway to trying to watch it as a comedy and I would definitely not recommend this show to anyone. the conclusion was very predictable and was not terrible, so if you can make it to the end, try your best.
