A show that really resonates within you
The most notable characteristics are usually the biggest flaws of works that don't have a big budget or directors with a great ambition to create something memorable and of quality.
Action - In another words, the lack of cuts during fights is a positive point. You can clearly see the what each character is doing. There is no shaky camera or a cut every 0.5 seconds. But of course, don't go there expecting John Wick production level but still, the quality of the fights here are way above average. Each movement of the fight feels natural. They don't seem to be fake like they are not punching at all. The staff sure have a great fight choreographer/coordinator and of course, the actors themselves did a great job.
Story - I started watching this expecting a project with episodic structure which is every episode has it's own story and not related or relevant to any other episode.
I was wrong. And I'm glad I was wrong. This story has a continuous time-line where the events of each episodes is completely related tothe main narrative. And is extremely interesting due it's nature of not being one-sided story. This is not a Good VS Evil story. There is no black and white here. Moral dilemmas are common features in every episode, where both sides have acceptable and debatable justifications which creates a rich narrative where each viewer have a different opinion about who is in the right or wrong side.
Soundtrack/OST - Hiroyuki Sawano (My personal favorite composer) and Kohta Yamamoto. Whenever you see these names in a project, you can expect anything above the average. Amazing soundtrack that increases every emotion the show is conveying at the moment, tension, epicness, beautiful and much more. Phenomenal soundtrack.
Characters - Every person has their own unique personality, traits and flaws. They explore all the main characters in a very interesting way, showing they are not perfect, they do a lot of wrong things, but also they learn and change from their own mistakes. Sometimes not, and that's why the show is so good. Some people, no matter what they went through, they will not change. Most characters can be easily relatable.
My only problem with this show is how it ends with lots of unfinished stuff. Open endings are cursed. There are so many things that needs to be explored buat we haven't got any new season, so most likely we will never see a proper ending for it. Still a memorable experience that I definitely would recommend to someone.
