This review has been a long time coming. Personally, this anime is still a contender for anime of the season for winter 2019, and likely will take a spot in my top 5 for the entire year. This anime leads you on two separate journeys: a physical one and an emotional one. By the end,…

Anime loves to showcase extremes, including everything from outlandish plots to outlandish personalities.
