Language Learning

Some characters are harder to understand than others. Information gets repeated a lot, though, so it's hard to get completely lost. Often uses the trick where the furigana spells one word and then the kanji is a different word.

Entertainment

Loved it. Really knocks it out of the park with the premise. I'm so invested in finding out what happens next, definitely reading the rest of the series.

Amazing story, great characters

The story is brilliant. It’s dark, twisting, full of mystery, and with really likeable characters.

The language was harder than I was expecting (I’m lower intermediate). I looked up quite a lot of vocab, especially when certain characters were talking, and had to check my understanding against the English translation a bit.

The furigana generally make looking up easy. It quite often uses the device where there the furigana are not the reading of the kanji, but a different word with an overlap

Wanting to Avoid Anime Season 2

Some of the spoken grammar is a little weird because of contractions but the details are often not important or simply understood from context, mostly from Norman's speaking style I think.

The narrative and Ema's words are all easily understood.

Norman also uses abnormally large words for an 11 year old like 目眩まし.

Interesting and paced differently than the anime.
