Great Film overall

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This series is a relationally emotional one. The only reason it's marked with one is the whole blacklist feature. (Which unintentionally may harm the series for those, however reading reviews before watching this show is highly not recommended as it's really mild anyway.)Onto the series. The series is related horizontally to other anime which would also be Steins Gate, and Chaos Head if you are feeling alone.The overall tone of the series actually made me personally cry. I felt emotional as I have felt those failures in engineering. Engineering is tough. One of the degrees which is worth it not because of the money because of "The right stuff." It's not about grades or transcripts or pay scale it's about what 'You do.' This degree requires tenacity. This show captures a lot of that idealism. Even the MC's are personalities of someone in a technical degree of the 5 MC's characters' you could portray yourself as 1-3 personalities.This series takes sci-fi and informs people of real world concepts like monopoles. Monopoles technically do not exist but only because it's a policy in the scientific community to dismiss something to not exist because we do not understand it. It's a professional thing (Saves people from delusions.). The science explained what people might not understand. Monopoles themselves are highly complex and are not explained until advanced physics. This series is one where there are themes one would not be embarrassed. It's something of an icon that will go down in history. Despite not being as popular as Steins Gate this series has it's own quirks which are not to be mistaken or downplayed. But despite these flaws the main theme shines through.If you are in FIRST Robotics this series is a must see as it's fairly related to a robotics club's fantasy. The overall concept of the show focuses on the characters. The feel of a robotics clubs is nearly spot on. (Except a bit exaggerated.)Animation The color in HD is highly improved over normal.
