Man I had such high hopes too. The visuals were absolutely amazing, it motivated me to keep drawing and animating lol. The story was interesting as well, I was hooked just from the first episode. Hope that there's a season 2 so that we can at least get a decent ending

It's totally worth it. Though I stalled out after finishing the Main arc, still need to get back to the after-extra-arc.
On the upside I decided to write some cliff notes of each episode thinking it might be nice to have a searchable reference for the future. It ended up much larger than I expected...
