Ok, normally I do not write reviews and I do not believe in them either. I find them plain useless. Still, I need to talk about this story and so I shall write the third review.
The art is above average level at any case. What I disliked a bit was the lack of females and the fact all males looked like girls, but considering the shojo genre it’s perfect (although few times I could not distinguish the two main characters from each other due to the long hair and similar garments)
The story really deserves some attention. Honestly, it is not for everyone. It’s mainly base around theology and existentialism, and also some interesting eastern philosophies about the creation of the world and the balance of things. So, yeah, if you are not interested in the subject you will find the plot mediocre at best. If you have some basic knowledge or even the tendency to be curious about some things, I believe you will get mind-blown. The impact I can compare this piece of art to is the impact I got with Ergo Proxy and all the philosophy there. The topics vary: immortality, creation, knowledge – all you can think of among these fields. I found the story very intriguing to the point I decided to actually write I review.
The characters are also interesting. Sadly not all of them. But at least the main characters deserve some attention and are well-developed based on their traits. Apollo is the one who is the most contradicting but if we stick to the nature of the actual god, he is perfect. I liked a great deal the taste of order in the chaotic way of thinking of gods. It is well-balanced between the idea that humans cannot comprehend gods and also that gods cannot comprehend humans. The essence of the whole story is in that balance.
I do not recommend this to anyone. But to everyone who is intrigued by philosophy – you may find a little diamond for thought in this particular work although it will still leave you wondering…
