This is absolutely FANTASTIC show that came form nowhere. The first 3 episodes will leave you hooked and the rest of the series follows suit with the one of the most poetic and epic tales of love, family, us vs them, and war vs peace themes you will ever see!

The writers and director know how to tell a story well. This is very obvious within episodes 2 & 3 (definitely try to get through the first 3!). Though Netflix went with a 3 episode weekly update for this series, this leaves the audience wanting more while also being able to fully digest what they're watching. 

 

The animation style is something akin to water-colored concept art or like updated Borderlands graphics (which is beautiful by the way). There's no light animation that American cartoons are usually made with, instead it feels full and weighted and can easy be a new pinnacle of 3D animation (like what SpiderVerse's animation was). This could easily be called anime like Avatar the Lats Airbender (even though it's not). The animation is stunning and beautiful and the visual & sound affects are some of my favorite designs to date.

 

The story, which is only enhanced by the animation, is great! The story follows the life of two young girls trying to make a living in a city that doesn't want them or their people. The city has the higher class in one end of the city and the lower class in a totally different part thats literally in the underbelly of the city. The on going set of themes and lessons portrayed throughout the story don't feel too light or cliche. It most certainly is not some children's show, it is meant for the 14+ age group and feels very adult, not backing down to dumb things down or make it easier for those with weak appeals. 

 

Definitely give this show a watch! It will change your life!
