However as someone who has to some extent experienced what Lisa went through I found her not only quite relatable but potentially the most realistic and best-written part of the show. Most characters are good despite lacking some characterization (while others weren't good IMHO). It also required a bit too much suspension of disbelief at times.Ĭharacters are a strong 7/10 with me almost giving it an 8. The first two episodes were probably the two best but then it started getting a bit repetitive, after which it started getting a bit ridiculous and when it finally started picking itself up again toward the end it ended. Story is the biggest disappointment with it getting a 6/10. I sometimes also had some problems with the music placement even though usually it was flawless. However I have some minor nitpicks with the voice-acting, with the most noticeable one being the Engrish. The music is probably the best part of the show. I'm including voice acting and such here not just music. Because of some small dips here and there I was wondering between that and 9/10. So I haven't been the most active in the Zankyou thread but here's my short review (a bit late).Īnimation is a beautiful 10/10. And I don't even want to start thinking about five's arc. Letting aside that if I think about the nuclear explosion for more than 2 seconds it doesn't make sense that alone.

in the end it felt like they had this stratospheric idea to make explode a nuclear bomb in such a cool manner and worked to write a story around it.

But nope.Īs I said, the episode was beautifully portrayed, the music perfect as always, but the writing. Then I waited for the second and third close shot. Now that the last piece is in place it's the end.įrom that moment things started to fall apart, I mean, among them you shoot the unique and forever friend of a terrorist who is holding a detonator and is apparently ready to use it? It makes no sense. Yep, this last episode was choreographically beautiful and it worked as such, the moment in which they were showed in their place, playing with the ball, muted, with that awkward music piece I started tearing up, I thought ok, they will all die. Even thrillers should have an internal logic if they want to be taken seriously even on a superficial level, and if you're going to try and communicate some grand social message or commentary, you have to have a basic level of competence in making the point. And that's the problem here - nothing of consequence in this show makes any damn sense. But even if you accept that bit of nonsense, they way things proceeded - shooting Twelve and leaving Nine his Oscar moment, inexplicably then deciding to spare Shiba and Lisa - makes no sense either.
