I likee the show well enough at first but noticed there was something a little off with the whole thing. It wasn't glaring and didn't give anything away or anything but it left me curious. When the twist revealed itself I thought it was maybe kind of dumb. As the show went on and I thought more about the past episodes I began to see how delicately and intricately the early episodes had been and how the things I felt now made sense. The whole thing is very impressive and emotional on many levels and it's absolutely brilliant how it made me go back and revisit the earlier episodes inside my head. It does all of these things without force feeding it to us or having a character break down the plot. It respects the viewer and allows us to take in the small details and nuances of it all. I got so much more from the first few episodes just by recalling them, it's amazing that so much of them stuck with me that it didn't require a rewatch.

The show is amazingly written, animated, and voiced. I've never written a review here before, but for the past few weeks since I watched this I've had a few of the scenes constantly replay in my head when I'm laying in bed. It's most certainly due to both my love of the characters, my extreme desire to see them continue and the still images that still make me emotional as it were the first time, every time. I won't spoil anything, but the shots of her blue eyes when she exposes them continue to haunt me and they somehow manage to convey her character in ways that go even beyond what is in the show.

There ia also a line that I continue to think about:

"We aren't done yet"

"I know".

There simply aren't words to express what these scenes convey and you can't understand without seeing them.
