I just finished rewatching UWMA for second time..much more slowly this time and really enjoyed the measured pacing (some say slow) and the stunning but subtle visual effects. A scene actor on floor in despair had intense blue around him and intense red on right half of scene and yet the emotional one was so high the color palette only enhanced it. There were an amazing number of moments when the camera focused on an abstract shape yet didn't interrupt action. There were many beautiful shots of the actors..
Reviewer izzyapple mentioned the craft of this director..so true. re acting..nice work..oddly the use of LBC actors seemed a little awkward. Many other secondary cast actors were great. Of course that last episode was pretty strange and disconnected..it looked different as well..maybe someone else was doing the wrap ?
I'm sure I will enjoy watching this again someday..maybe there will be an interesting Win-Team off shoot...

Funny and heartfelt

Love all the characters.. There is so much variety that it doesn't get boring..Many giggles.
Including amazing cringe worthy Asaka K.. loved him
Perfect re-watch for those Grim days when the world doesn't make any sense. I actually came back to watch again after enjoying Machida K in 3-Star Bar.
The settings have a realistic down to earth quality that is a nice contrast to many overpolished shows.
I also was touched by the moral of the ending.. Voluntarily relinquishing that special power and trusting to new instincts and fate.. A nice touch

Lovely locations..pretty people..issues with script

I don't believe in criticizing or rewriting a series according to the fantasies in my brain; what you see is what you've got. And..the series, for all of its faults, did pull the viewer along. I hope to see these pretty and interesting actors in other dramas..loved the spooky "doctor".
The scenery and locations were worth the watch...some of the action sequences were convincing, others provided a good laugh. I think the sex scenes could have worked better as beautiful rococco stills.. Anyway, I don't regret watching it.
