Honestly, this series feels like the author just barely missed catching lightning in a bottle. There are so many aspects of it where I feel it has incredible potential, but it just falls short each time. I'm still enjoying watching it for what it's worth, but I feel a strong sense of loss and yearning for what it could've been every time I watch an episode. It somehow has dark undertones, but they're too muted and the series feels like it lacks seriousness overall. If I had to compare it to other series that successfully capture a distinct back-and-forth between serious/relaxed, I'd point to One ... Punch Man S1 or Madoka Magica. That's the level I felt this show could've reached, but I digress. It's still an enjoyable watch if you can overcome the thought of what it failed to achieve.
