So we all know about the 3 episode rule. This show stretches that rule, and it does that in many other aspects as well. How annoying can a character get until you decide to drop the show is the most obvious one. The characters are in my opinion the only setback in the likability and reach of the show, and equally, the most pleasant part of it. If one is able to put up with their whininess that is. This, however, makes for a satisfying case (multiple, actually) of character development (and redemption). The portrayal of these characters, however annoying and pestering they may have ... initially been, is at its core, realistic. No one would ever be able to just easily accept the fact that they have to abandon everything and everyone they once knew for what is supposedly their "fate". I, too, no matter how much i hate to admit this, would spend a good portion of time, a year or two (and that's being generous), in complete disarray. Luckily for us, anime is not real life and we don't have to put up with all of the less pleasant moments, for they do not persist for the entirety of the show. Although they do reoccur (albeit differently) with certain new characters.
This all, however, goes hand in hand with a compelling plot that should keep you interested enough to keep watching despite everything. The anime is composed of different arcs, some are naturally more interesting than the others but all enjoyable in their own way. I must admit, i totally did not expect to enjoy this anime as much as i did. I genuinely had equal moments of laughing at some of the characters' behaviours but also reflecting on my own attitude towards things, which i have figured to be but a less dramatised version of theirs. At certain parts of the story i also found i was at the edge of my seat, itching with curiosity to see what will happen next. The writers definitely knew how to keep the watchers engaged. My only critique of the way this was written would be how we were mostly told how bad some characters were (verbally, through, the characters repeating the same irritating conversations) more than we were actually shown. Nevertheless, i would still recommend to give this show a try and believe in its potential for it really was an interesting watch.

(This is my first review ever, i hope i was of any help. Feedback is ofc always appreciated!!)
