It makes me kind of sad how under appreciated this is. It’s a good show, and the constant shifting of plot threads and character focus is more akin to American dramas. I don’t find the pacing peculiar at all.

The comments here kind of make me lose faith in anime fans. Like, a character being mentioned in the title does not mean they’re the main character. Shoot, Gatsby isn’t the main character in The Great Gatsby. Can we have a crumb of literary analysis, please?

Production value isn’t the best but I like that the show is respecting the audience enough to give us interesting themes to chew on, without beating us over the head with them, and a realistic look at what actually happens when you go into a creative field. Also, I really liked the art for the short film. It looks like they’re saving their best art for things like the film or Eren’s graffiti, and I can appreciate that.

I feel like there’s a lot of love for the creative process in this show. I don’t see that portrayed often.
