Bad. Interesting concept, but executed poorly. Things are left unanswered all the time, and Im not talking about the difficult questions, nor that we dont get to know about the different recurring characters. Im talking about plot holes and things that it would seem the writiers simply didnt care about answering. Why was Harada suddenly soulless? Where did his soul go? I guess not being able to answer that didnt keep the writiers from just making it so because they needed to have a nice "lovely" ending to his and Mayu Arita's story... Why did the rusty haired arbiter that I cant remember the name of now suddeny not do his job when it came to their story even though hes a hardass on following rules and has no epiphany and no change to his character or convictions. What happened to the two murderers? Which one went to the void and which one got reincarnated? Guess that was a too difficult question for the writers to answer so they simply ended the episode there... What happened pulling out the worst of people when it came to the old woman? Guess the writers simply forgot about that being a part of the judgement even though they mention it in the very same episode... Why did Chiyuki say that she didnt care about losing her ability to ice skate because she had more important things like friends and family only to in the next sentences say that it didnt matter because they "werent her"? Seems like the stupidest and most baseless explenation in the entire series. There are just a few examples, theres so much thats left unanswered in the same fashion that I found myself irritated all the time, almost every episode ending with a "Ok so what about ... ?", especially when the writers simply seemed to have forgotten about their own rules. What about the woman and that guy playing an arcade game? Which one went to the void and which one got reincarnated? I get that the answer to that judgement is difficult, as is most of the others too, but just skipping it and leaving the burden to the viewers seems cheap and like a cop out Ehhhhhh. Im not even sure Im glad I gave this series my time, which is even more frustrating because as said, its a good concept for a series. Nice concept, horrible writers always trying to give things deeper meaning though it would seem they dont have sufficient understanding of human emotions/lives to do so and end up fumbling in the dark before just moving on "to the next thing" that they also butcher like everything previous.
If youre gonna zone out watching this series then its gonna be good, if you pay attention to details its bad.
