Good, but slow paced
23 May 2023
I'm on the fence about this one. While the art direction and animation are quite good, the story is a bit too slow paced to keep me hooked. As with most Japanese anime shows the intro and outro comprises about 1/3 of the show which leaves not a whole lot of time to get story advancement in there and move things along. This is OK if you can watch three or four episodes at a time, but Hulu is dribbling this one to us one episode a week. Some elements of the story which were presented at the beginning (like the Institute or school or whatever it is) seem to have taken a complete back seat, and are no longer advancing at all. At eight shows in, Maru and Kiruko seem to be wandering aimlessly and I am not even sure what they're looking for anymore or why they are together. I think this show suffers greatly from only releasing one episode a week. I think it might have held my interest a little more if I could immerse myself in it more than 15 minutes a week.
