Per the usual, we're foolish for not listening to wonzo about this short stuff as it airs. In fact, the short format might be the only criticism I'd offer about this as I'd imagine it adversely affected perception of what the show was capable of as well as any desire to check it out as it went on. If anything, a longer format encapsulating everything would have probably resulted in higher visibility for folks here.
That said, even knowing the central premise and reveal of the show, so much still caught me off guard. I would have never really thought a short form anime would successfully manage to maintain the dark and dramatic tone present. Sure, there's some comedic elements but, by and large, it's a drama throughout with the occasional foray into something slightly adventurous. I'd have not really considered this would work all that well but this show demonstrated it can with the right material and in the right hands..
