This is what I got in the third lucky dip. Not so lucky, truth be told - I've dropped it. I watched eight episodes and I promptly gave up, feeling rather frustrated by it.
This is another case of a show that has a potentially fantastic premise ruined by the most banal and infuriating cast they could possibly devise to make it as boring as humanly possible. The show DID draw me in for a while with the world and the general mystery surrounding pretty much everything...at least right up to the point any one of the cast opened their mouth to say something. I think I'd actually rather watch Sword Art Online almost, because at least THAT terrible cast has a focus, even if that focus is another terrible cast member. There is so much undelivered promise inherent in the worldbuilding that it's not only painful to watch, it's very frustrating - they could have done so much more with even a half-decent cast of characters with more than one personality trait and emotion apiece.
I really struggled to find the point to this show. Maybe it would have been revealed if I had watched more of it, but getting a third of the way through and having to endure teenage angst on top of everything else at that point was the final nail in the coffin for me.
So...has anyone else watched this? Did you suffer as much as I did? xD
