Overall Thoughts

I really recommend this series as it’s definitely worth checking out. The story is great, and the visuals are just as impressive. Sure, the art style might feel a bit “old-school” since it’s been around for a while, but it still holds up surprisingly well. The direction and overall presentation really carry it, and there are plenty of moments that still look genuinely stunning.

As for the story, just be ready for something a bit heavy. It deals a lot with self-doubt, fear, past trauma, and the pressure of dealing with adult life—things that hit pretty close to home for a lot of people. That said, it’s not all serious all the time. It also does a nice job highlighting friendship, relationships, a bit of healthy rivalry, and even some subtle hints of romance, which helps balance things out nicely.

I rate this a 9/10. A really great SoL.
