10/10

I liked it because it's once more one of the anime that does not conform to preconceived ideas.

In the story I liked the overall alternative approach and the challenges it sets about what/who is good or bad (as a base and if/when that has to be reassessed). Liked all the characters.

Audio & animations are ok/good (not bad but not excellent).

You've reached the end.
