Masterpiece

One of the best world building I’ve seen in anime. Studio orange who animated this kinda stood out with it’s choice to heavily rely on CGI. But it is largely agreed that it was a fantastic decision considering how well this anime turned out.

The character development was so good in this series. If the characters in this series get chipped or lose parts of their body, they literally lose parts of their memory. And if they replace it some other item instead of the piece they lost, their character is altered according to how large the modification was. And there are a lot of instances exactly where this happens.

There is only one human in the whole story and he has special powers. The gem stone people go around destroying sun spots, and it’s not clear why they’re doing this or why the sun spots are trying to steal the gems. My initial guess was that maybe they can combine different things and create a human, but I am too uninformed to say if that’s true. There is no much mystery, so much to discover, and it’s all so well laid out.

The sound tracks created for the show work wonderfully together as well.

It feels like I’ve only seen a small portion of what the story has in store and I’m really excited to see or read what’s up ahead.
