The character Kodama and the visual representation of her philosophy as depicted in this series is one of the more intereseting approaches that I've seen in modern series. The story and each episode starts of with the opening theme, which I think is one of the key parts of the experience when it comes to the series as a whole and what it represents. In the opening theme we can see how the character (Kodama) starts off her day and does what I would call things that represent her daily routine. This is emphasized in the series as the opening theme plays in every episodeand it lasts over half of the episode duration. After the "routine" it is time for the "hack" where Kodama is depicted as "breaking from the mold" and you are able to gain glimpse of the world through the lens of her philosophy.

As far as the character goes I'd say that it is one of the key points when it comes to this series. The character Kodama is presented as someone whose philosophy and "routine" when it comes to her daily life have what I would call a visible "conflict of interest". This "conflict" is brought into the light during the "dangerous lifehack" segments of the episodes, while it is also presented that "the routine" doesn't fall apart because of these "dangerous lifehacks". Another way of looking it is that "the routine" is more of a metaphor on how she sees herself as from the eyes of "the society" and "the lifehack" part is more related to her own philosophy and how see sees herself as when she is free from the shackle of "the society".

The art and audiovisual presentation in the series I'd say enhances the "duality" of the series when it comes to "the lifehacks" and "the routine". Visual approach also takes influence from the philosophy of the "character" and "the world" is mainly presented in a relatively abstract manner that I would say plays out nicely when you look at the series as a whole.

I'd say this two segment approach that is utilized in the series is done in very creative manner and the series is filled with small visual cues and metaphors that I would say help to represent the philosophy of the "character" in a relatively abstract but still direct manner that can be understood even if you miss some of the visual cues and metaphors.

Overall if you're looking for something that is able to present a "human experience" in a relatively abstract but still surprisingly relatable manner I'd say this series manages to do that, and leave a good impression on top of that.
