This anime was rather dull and childish. "Emotions" and "change". This didn't really carry any message with it except the repetition of these two motives that aren't even deeply explored. Same shit you see everywhere except that here they actually even managed to contradict themselves a few times and have opinions that are logically wrong. Did they reach any conclusions on either of the subjects they tried to explore? Oh gosh they did, "the world is filled with beautiful shining emotions that are passed down and surpass time". A lot of attempts to be serious sound like a badly written essay of a 14 year ... old who was desperate to get a passing grade in his literature class.

Story 5/10


The characters are not realistic. Tsumugu wtf? He's a motherfucking lifeless robot who can see into other people's minds because they're shallow. He's supposed to be special because of that as no one else seems to possess that convenient ability called sapience.

Chisaki wtf? You didn't feel like you were allowed to love anyone else because you thought you should wait for Hikari and the rest to return? Wtf is wrong with you? Five fucking years have passed and there wasn't any development, she's thinking like a child, a very stupid child indeed. She wanted to be the fucking sacrifice because she's the "only one who's changed" and it wasn't fair to the others because she changed and they didn't. She felt like she betrayed them. She spent five fucking years without her friends and family, living with Tsumugu and his grandfather all while she couldn't even enter her hometown to see if everyone's okay. Hikari, Manaka and Kaname felt like a day passed by. I would feel anger in her stead, not fucking guilt. Anger because they don't know the pain and what it was like. It feels natural to embrace the change and even emphasize it, not act like a kid and pretend that five years didn't go by.

Kaname's one of the characters I simply didn't develop any feelings for. I feel like he didn't get enough screen time, but by what I've seen they probably didn't know what lines to give him.

I did find Manaka a little annoying, but as I'm trying to be objective I won't count that in. Everything she's done until she went to hibernate hinted that she liked Tsumugu. The plot twist on that boat was poorly implemented and expected. Everyone knew that Hikari was going to get a reward for being a tryhard even though the plot didn't go in his favor.

The show didn't use its potential. When I saw it recommended from Shinsekai Yori, I had completely different expectations. I personally hoped that the plot would turn darker, not resolve around badly done romance.

Character 5/10

The sound was decent, I didn't like the openings very much but they knew which scenes to emphasize and used the correct music while doing it.

Sound 8/10

Art was incredible. It's truly beautifully done. I didn't watch it in HD, but it still felt amazing.

Art 10/10

The enjoyment was decent. I didn't hate the series, it was fun to watch, but I can't shake the feeling that I wasted my time.

Enjoyment 7/10
