A quick story that would've benefitted from a little more time to tell it! Definitely more meaningful from having seen Alternative before it - it's a direct sequel series that reflects on the question "What do you do when you can't live up to other's expectations?" For the new characters, it asks "What would you do to shake up the world you don't belong in?" Both are interesting questions to ponder! It gets through them to some extent but would've benefitted from a little more fleshing out - though, it is fun to try and put the pieces together from the juuuuuust enough detail you get inabout 60 minutes of story.

Harumi is a fun character that I hope other people enjoyed, as they were an unexpected source of conflict! I liked them as the chaos-redhead much more in this story than I would've seeing Haruko crowbarred in when she doesn't really have enough humanity to tell this type of story. Also uhhhh man their backstory is harsh!

Definitely worth a watch if you enjoyed Alternative, and I'd say it's great at being its own little niche of coming of age FLCL (though what that means to you may vary).
