Visuals? Oustanding. Plot? Curious! Primary issue: characterization & the vibes I get from the writers. I have no idea what it is about these characters but they aren't resonating as well as they should, and I think it's just the depth portrayed in the story. I do feel for the cast, and I do feel all their ups & downs, but it feels... shallow, in a sense? Like I kept expecting one thing or another out of this character or that but we'd fly away to the next scene without seeing someone be their genuine self. And I don't know if that's a pacing issue or if it's something the writers sacrificed in order to maintain a rapid plot, but like I guess I should care about these people? But it's not as if we had the chance to break for it. They have stellar designs though.
