Review of I'm Standing on a Million Lives

This season feels stretched. There is only about 6 episodes worth of animation and the rest is all flashbacks, sometimes even flashbacks of the same episode. That being said if there was an abridged, I feel that the pacing and most of the lazy writing could be fixed. The story concept is good, but unfortunately, the lens (protagonist) through which the world is and its philosophy displayed, are lackluster and immature. The protagonist tried to be shown as pragmatic, while also being self-loathing and misanthropic. However, he is also shown to be deeply caring of others and desiring recognition from his female companions. This effectively makeshim the author's philosophic hail mary to fix any contrived piece of narrative.

If the protagonist was either more evil and sociopathic or truly a heart of gold antihero the story lens would work better.

TL;DR Watch for the world building and concepts. Main characters are boring.
