Setsuna

The music is good, but I honestly feel like there is too much music. It's kind of the whole point of the story, but at a certain point the story itself started to drag because of the music. I think this overall could've been tightened in the script and fit into eight episodes instead of ten. It was quite long, and I struggled with motivation to finish the series after hitting episode 6. It was exhausting to think about investing four more hours of my life into the show.

It's a good watch, but at the same time I'm hesitant to recommend it. It feels like the labels for it should be more along the lines of tragedy rather than romance. It didn't feel like a romance at all, and even though the story ended on what people would call a "hopeful" note, it wasn't what I was expecting from the story at all. I have a lot of wishes for how I would've written the story, but it's obviously not mine to do that. I wish it would've been more upfront about the actual storyline. Perhaps I misunderstood something when watching the trailer.

The acting and music is phenomenal. I will be adding the music to my playlists, but I'm still just so confused about the main idea of the show. What was it trying to achieve?
