At first I was into the drama and interested in how the whole conflict would play out, not to mention Ringo's general goofiness was pretty funny. But then the show walks around all over the place and becomes more and more incoherent, dabbling into pointless backstory and losing the focus of the main plot which made me lose interest. The twist where one of the protags gets run over by a car should have been a focal point of the plot, instead it's made entirely irrelevant an episode later.

Animation, clean, clear and modern, nice. But the plot!! Eps 1 &2 follow the summary and are fine but ep3 begins to lose focus, this continues into ep4 where it lost my attention and I quit. A good idea wasted.

insane anime for the mentally ill, pretty colors moving randomly on the screen, the hint of a plot, that might be there if you look hard enough, but it is very small something something symbolism
