Disjointed and chaotic
I don't know if it was the fact that this is short form, and so it's hard to flesh out characters, or that the writing is poor, but I honestly felt so confused the entire time watching this.
This show uses the fall-at-first-sight trope heavily, where the main leads meet for not even a full day and they're already professing their love for each other. There's no time for the characters to breathe and grow and they're already knee-deep in an intense love.
Then there's the reincarnation plot. These characters meet for a day, fall in love, and die once they accept each other's love. And then they start the process all over again. I actually really enjoy reincarnation stories, but this one was so chaotic and disjointed that I didn't even feel like I had a chance to enjoy it because Nagi's chaotic energy had me honestly very confused the entire show.
Not to mention the sprinkling of fantasy elements in the show -- there's a weird sort of prophecy that they're a part of -- but similar to the characters, it's not fully fleshed out.
This entire show/movie is a stream of chaos (and not in a good way) that leaves you with whiplash every time there's a scene change. I feel like not only does this show need more time (time to grow; breathe; let the characters fall in love) but also a rewrite of the characters' personality so that we can relate to them instead of being lost the entire time.
It's honestly hard to say that I can see potential in this show. I feel like they focused on aesthetics more than plot, with the disjointed filming leaving you more empty than anything else.
