The first time I saw the poster for this anime, I instantly wanted to watch it. The warm colors, the usual Kyoto animation style and the general direction they took looked really nice. And the show keeps the same quality. The warm colors aren't kept as much as I would have liked, but it still looked amazing. That was mainly why I wanted to watch the show, and you should too.
The animation is the only thing I found to be special. The music was pretty good and was definitely my second favorite part, but some of the songs were pretty forgettable. the characters were also pretty good, but still the usual anime cast. With the pervert, the cute one, the serious one, and the main character. But I liked these character more than I do for similar characters, cause they weren't very one-sided which made them more realistic. the story was definitely my least favorite part, not that it was bad, but pretty mediocre nonetheless.
The world was the thing I noticed at first. The story is about a world where there are invisible demons that can interact with the human world, and where certain people are born with powers that make them stronger and make them see the demons most people wouldn't see. Now aside from that, the world just like any other SoL anime, which doesn't really make any sense. Cause in my mind, society would change a lot from what it is now if demons could interact with us. You could think of so many interesting changes, but there really is none. That was something that bugged me for a while.
The second thing that bugged me was the first third of the show. The drama aspects were really boring and bland, and the episodes as a whole were confusing. A majority of the drama episodes are in the beginning, but we don't know enough about the characters that would make the episodes interesting.
The last third of the show was definitely my favorite part, cause they give characters more motivation, especially Mirai. The scene where they show us that her original task was to kill the beyond the boundary and why she rejects Akihito so much at the start, was really interesting but didn't feel forced in. And they explain it really well by showing the timeline. but sometimes the show tries to explain a little too much. things that could be explained with visuals.
That's something the show has a few problems with, the show doesn't tell formula. That's something that the antagonist has a lot of problems with. He explains his motivation when he could show it. That character is also the one that is the most boring in the show, cause he feels very unrealistic. He doesn't change over time, he doesn't have any good character traits and is just really boring overall.
So overall I would call this a beautiful show that has a lot of problems with story and characters 6/10 from me
