Pros
Pro Slow burn, great arcs
A story that grows into a simultaneously introspective and inspirational master piece. Every thing about the story and characters starts simple and clear, over the 24 episodes without you even realizing it your mind will be blown at what will come next and you will feel more invested in the characters than you thought possible.
Pro Short and sweet
This show gets to the point without feeling rushed. You won't find characters spending three episodes charging an attack for three episodes, unlike other more drawn out shows.
Pro Not adapted from manga
Unlike most popular anime, this one is an original work, meaning it can avoid certain practices common with adaptations, such as filler and deviations from the expected plot.
