Sadly a let down :/ It really tries to juggle a bunch of different things but doesn’t give them the proper space to flesh them out in a way that’s satisfying. I wasn’t really convinced by the relationship between the two main characters either which made moments a lot more awkward to watch for me, which I’m definitely sure wasn’t the intention. Has its cute moments, and sometimes it visually looks cool, but it doesn’t do much that really sticks with me.
