An absolute masterclass in anime "cinematography," but thoroughly riddled with convoluted Japanese storytelling. The earliest episodes are breathtaking, beautiful and jarring, all at the same time, but as the story matures, its universe doesn't play by its own rules as it introduces ever evolving plot points that the viewer isn't sure they asked for. This show is entirely worth the watch, mostly in regards to the first couple of seasons, but I'm still left with a sour taste in my mouth after the fourth and final season starting with a four year time leap glossing over important events involving the series' main antagonists thus far.
