A very not too good not too bad kinda show. The action is fun, but the story is pretty meh. This felt like a typical shounen honestly. If the story was as strong as everything else, I would’ve loved this one. But I definitely understand the hype, watching this literally feels cool and you feel it. Very similar to Gurren Lagaan. I’d say that this is a notch above Gurren and a few notches below Kill la Kill. Emphasis on all three being along the same spectrum.
For example take Yuuji’s dilemma of considering humans as something that he might have to face against someday and by extension kill. The show never really good too deep into it. It didn’t make me question the different perspectives because the show doesn’t explore them. It only shows the very surface level justifications every character has made peace with. And Yuuji is always told to, not worry about it, one way or the other. The show plays it safe and that’s not for the better
