Where to begin.... I liked it, that's be best place to start. The story touches on several subjects that are too often skimmed over which makes the plot a little fresher. The cast was top notch in terms of chemistry and I got most of the feels at the rights times. I think the writers lost to fanservice in some episodes but hey ho!
The plot/script:
I feel it could have delivered so much more than it did. The flashbacks that explained what had happened to Type are pretty self explanatory but there is virtually no mention of his thought process as his relationship with Tharn develops, Type's feelings about having feelings for a man and being in a physical relationship with one... So much emotional greatness missed! I have not had the chance to read the novel, (it's been dastardly difficult to find translations :/ if anyone knows where I could find one I'd love to read it) so I don't know if the book is better about it. Techno was sadly underused, he needed more screen time <3 and we still know virtually nothing about him. Also, there is an issue I was hoping would be resolved in the finale that wasn't: Type's childhood friend. I was expecting Type to have a heart to heart with him before the end, their interaction was pretty abrupt.
Overall, in my humble opinion, this series needed a little less fan service and more dedication to the truly important issues it is based on, namely trauma, homofobia, growth, guilt, forgiveness.
The Cast:
Chemistry off the charts and also, surprisingly, obvious improvement towards the end, Gulf looked rather constipated in the beginning but later on his expressions improved substantially, I'm looking forward to see more work from him. Mew is fab, we all knew that. And Mild needs a main role, yesterday.
I am mildly annoyed by the lack of substantial female characters in the whole of this universe though...
The music:
imma skim on this one, I'm not a music connoisseur so all I'm gonna say is that it fits the mood, I'm happy.
Direction/cinematography: a bit choppy in places, seen worse, could have been better.
Overall an enjoyable watch, it's firmly in my list of will watch again, ad nauseam, even if it missed the opportunity to be great.
