About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, slow-burn anime thriller with political intrigue and a fairy-tale motif, similar in mood to Texhnolyze; Not for you if you want fast action or clear, simple plotting.
Pros: grim, thought-provoking tone; striking hand-drawn visuals; tense bursts of violence | Cons: slow, sluggish pacing; dense political intrigue; characters feel distant
