Ohhh this show gives me emotions! The acting is a bit shaky in the beginning--I think Joss is more here for his looks than his acting skill (sorry Joss, you ARE beautiful). By the end they all gelled well enough, though, and there's enough that's super good to make up for that weak spot.

I love the polyamory (though I wish the NeoShin angle was given more attention in the present day timeline), and the female characters are SO good. I love getting to see Jennie in a role that explores gender and transness tenderly and respectfully, though I hurt for her character so much. I also love Gunsmile, and Ter is one of my favorite characters in this show.

I think about Miw and Mae all the time, months after I finished this one. Often in BL sort of wraps up neatly enough, with no need for digging in with fanfiction, or thinking about too deeply after. But this show has enough interesting dynamics and plot possibilities for me to think about it after, and to want more of it!

I have conflicting feelings about the ending, but overall it's just a fantastic series. One of my favorites. If you can handle lots of gun violence, please give it a try!
