I'm being lazy and posting here what I did on reddit lol.
Started And ended today after Team Fourstar suggested it and about four minutes in I had to stop watching because I knew I'd spoil something great.
The closest thing I've seen to a show like this is Made in Abyss which might trump some of the scifi elements but leans more on anime bs at times. Those white towers definitely reminded me of spoilers from season 3 with the ecosystems inside. Pretty sure showmakers had lots of inspiration from the anime or manga.
I really do wish there were more games and shows that explored world building as visually as they did with SR. The closest games I've got the same feeling from was Subnautica. Especially with the quahog clam things lol.
The slow realization with how the Hollow worked episode by episode was my favorite but I got it right from the start which was great.
So happy about Levi. Definitely gave me Second Foundation and beyond vibes.
That music and OST needs to be out today. Such a great score to emphasize almost every detail throughout every episode. It's a straight masterpiece in sound and visual design even if it could've used more frames at times. I never really had an issue with it though.
I do wish people were a little less harsh on Kamen though. I'm glad he got to live.
The scene in the Microsoft 3d maze wall was so cool. Just a testament to humans occasionally being privy to something so earnest and secret and knowing there's so much more into it than what you're seeing and being larger than you was captured so well.
What a great show and final episode even if it was a bit lackluster since I love creature features over anything else but it has to end sometime.
