Having just binged this in its entirety (the ONLY way to watch it!), I must say that it is truly remarkable.
Conceptually brilliant, philosophically akin to Ghost in The Shell, dealing as it does with the nature of consciousness, our perception of our own existence and identity, and what it means to be truly human, with a story that plays out somewhere between John Carpenter's 'The Thing' and an Agatha Christie whodunnit, right up until the final (double!) episode, where it becomes both a race against time, and a battle for survival.
The artwork is visually stunning, with a vibrant colour palate, the soundtrack is perfectly fitting with its ethereal qualities, and its excellent voice cast (English dub) adds depth and humanness to each of the characters.
A tremendous achievement, and a real treat for all true anime fans, and fans of high concept science fiction in general.
Just one thing before I go- to the absolutely idiotic person who rated this 1/10 after only watching the first ten minutes, because they 'didn't like the frame rate'- people like you shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a keyboard, much less be allowed to rate something you neither watched nor understood.
A breathtaking 10/10 🍄
