    This starts out promisingly enough - something goes wrong at a gigantic international scientific facility, causing the sky to turn into a mirror and civilization as we know it to end - but the pace then grinds to a halt. Episode after episode consists of kids brooding around, striking poses, and looking cool in muted colors to the background of sparse musical notes.

    As is too often the case in anime, and TV series in general (Lost comes to mind), the characters seem completely uninterested in asking the most basic questions about their situation and circumstances. This quickly makes it very hard to care about them or their 'actions' (which most of the time consists of them standing around wide eyed and frozen as the camera slowly pans across).

    If you are looking for a post-apocalyptic story that makes no sense and proceeds at a glacial pace, this one's a winner!
