Personal Ratings: 4

Have been waiting for this anime for two seasons already. 

I really loved the change in the tempo throughout the episode. The fighting scenes were really smoothly done and exciting to watch. 

Though from the first episode, it's kind of confusing about what is happening, and what this anime is about. But I liked how it does not have the very typical anime action style in episode one or two. This anime is more of a "show what is happening and slowly let you figure out", though they do give some short explanation to guide you and make it less confusing, yet still keeping the curiosity in the viewers. The show slowly gets more interesting towards the end. So it really leaves a lasting impression.

I didn't really like the ending. Like how did Mirai actually revived? I want a 2nd season to explain that! I also want an episode on Akihito's past!!

People! The time has come! Kyoani has revealed that there would be an episode 0 coming up, showing about Akihito's past!!! I can't wait!!

Unique character designs. Loved the animation a lot. Though I feel that some times the art can get a little out of shape.
