The character designs are great, and the voice actors did a splendid job in conveying the right emotions. Moreover, the interactions that take place between characters are enjoyable as well. The opening and ending songs, along with the background scores, are top-tier, and they set the tone and are quite atmospheric as well. Fans also pointed out that animation is also a part of the series and that it doesn't make sense to isolate one element of a project to decide whether or not a show is good.🌸 Purrluna 🌸@PurrlunaGaming@itsjadeyanh Great character designs, incredible animations, entertaining, great voice acting, enjoyable story.
