Great concept and great sound engineering. An okay animation style but the pace of this anime is rushed at some point since the earlier episodes. Action packed and great watch for adventure geeks. A little bit of scifi and horror. Huge fan of isekai and post apocalytic storyline. Plot wise is okay, not that great tbh. Great characters and developments almost on all of the characters throughout part 1 and 2. Some extreme choices on some characters like ango and ryo (hate them). Some poor choice on characters like hana, arashi, semimaru, etc - taking turn to be annoying, ruthless and keep getting a complete personality change. Basically driving me insane. Great original opening and ending songs - very japanese pop rock & soft indie songs. Touch on climate changes, meteorites, evolution, science experiments, bacteria, viruses, sustainability, family issues, trauma, friendship, survival, etc. All in one - maybe the reason why i felt it was rushed and put in a very complex flow. Recommended but definitely not for younger audiences due to very disturbing scenes. Wanted more but apparently it was cancelled after part 2.

I'm a HUGE fan of the original manga, so I was excited to hear that Netflix was turning it into anime.

BUT...

1st episode was a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT.

I almost stopped watching in the middle but my husband who does not know the original was watching with me so I finished it.

1. They just revealed the whole story in the opening!!! WHY WOULD THEY???????

2. They just skipped through so many details. IT CONFUSED my husband who doesn't know the story.

3. They changed the looks of characters so much. I guess to an extent this can't be helped but... disappointment to a big fan of the original artwork.

But for some odd reason that I don't understand, I kept watching, and it started to grow on me.

Not sure if the story made any sense to people who haven't read the manga, but if you just see it as a "summary of" or "introduction to" the original, this serves the purpose just fine (?).

At least they didn't change the story; they just summarized it.

So I just binged watched part 1 and I would like to say that I loved the intensity and the atmosphere they have created. Thankfully they have not skipped on the gore and the violence, though, I wouldn't mind if there was more. It makes your perception of their world more real in my opinion as you have something to experience for yourself even if its just from watching.

I like the fact that they try to have different story lines combined with love, jealousy, selfishness and other human emotions/qualities; but the transitions and the developments in each storyline was lacking as it feels they are just crammed in and do not have a natural flow to it as I may say. To me the pace was similar to last season of GOT.

I do not know much about anime production but it seems like they had reached their publishing deadline without actually finishing the job and making sure everything was perfect. The editing was mediocre and some scenes just flew by.

I very much liked the art unlike some other people. Each artist has his/her own way of expressing art and we shouldn't always expect it to be the same as our expectations or liking. Just saying.

Also the plot has holes. It is cool and amusing but with very obvious holes. And some "wtf no sane person would do such things" reasoning behind some actions. It still was fun to watch.

I also get the feeling that this anime has a happy ending kind of story with not many definite surprises. I personally do not like such stories as it is boring, no matter what happens in the end its all good. But I wish I am mistaken.

Great premise, but the execution is lacking. It jumps from scene to scene, with sometimes drastic changes in between despite only a second having passed. Time skips abound... Also quite a bit of artistic and metaphoric hubris, which is unnecessary and just drags the plot down. Too many cliches and moments of deus ex machina, too. Overall, a good premise let down by poor writing/direction.

I am almost giving up on Netflix, they give us 2 season of an anime, and when we expect to see more they give us nothing. There were so many stories left in this adaption and yet we have not had anything. People that gave this a low score have no soul.
