BNA

BNA was overall a light but enjoyable watch. The animation was stunning and soundtracks were great, but honestly some scenes were oddly mixed with soundtracks, like it didn't exactly fit the mood or was unneccesary at times. Honestly, I would have liked to have seen this take a darker turn or focus more on the dark side of the experiments of Michuru, but it seemed to have been more of a light and friendly theme to the show. Nothing wrong with that, but I think they missed some oppurtunities on diving deeper on some characters/relationships.

It has an interesting and engaging plot, its beautifully drawn and I like the colours. The characters are interesting and compelling.

I really wanted to love this Anime. It had likable Characters, the setting was pretty cool, I enjoyed the overall conflict humanoids had with humans and the Art-Style and Animation are straight up beautiful, but it's story is rather disappointing and leaves a lot of questions unanswered or even untouched. For the most part you kinda forget that there even is a Main-Story and that's ironically exactly when the anime has it's strongest moments, dealing with various topics and conflicts a world divided as this could have. Don't get me wrong, there are some really fun twists and backstory revelations but the Events of the last two episodes make them appear less interesting in retrospect and also feel like they have been added last minute as if the writers themselfes forgot they had a main story to work on.

If I tried to be extra picky I would say that most characters are a little bit naive and easy to convince sometimes (definitely not all but If you have seen the show you know who I mean) ...my least favorite character however was the shows villain whose backstory was just a little bit too far fetched and cheesy for my taste (Not gonna reveal who it is though).

Overall I can't say I didn't have a good time with the series. It's fun and gorgeous to look at, I just see a lot of unused potential maybe a second season could catch up on.

Probably it's 8 as it is, but not touching my soul enough :). Try it yourself, I really liked this show, much more than Kill la Kill from the same studio. Lore is here, animation is here, OK plot is here.

With no doubt the BEST anime of 2020. S Incredible art and design, top notch animation, extraordinary soundtrack, backed by an amazing and so creative story, it is almost overwhelming! I finished it all in one sitting, I sure hope I'll be able to sleep and not think about BNA all night. Can not wait for season two, I have no doubt it'll be just as gold. Netflix, don't disappoint me !
