... how I really feel. It was equal parts captivating and frustrating. The 360 camera pans grew tiresome quickly, as did the gaping silence been every line of dialogue. Typically things quickens as we near the end or conclusion, but everything slowed to a snails pace the last few episodes. I felt greatness was within grasp, only to evaporate when things went out of focus. Certain storylines were more interesting or relevant than others, so it was hard to maintain consistent excitement. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who didn't "get it" entirely, but I think the story itself is interesting and different. I liked the use of colors, however I noticed my eyes starting to hurt toward the end. It was fascinating the juxtaposition of bright neon within the darkness, but the lack of consistent lighting started to wear. I can accept the weirdness (like how many random scenes took place in the woods) and Miu's inability to have more than one expression, but some thoughtful editing would have tightened this up. I know the pigs were symbolic (right?), but symbolism should be a bit more subtle to maintain mystery and impact. I also wasn't always sure how much was real and what was a dream and since nothing was answered at the end, I still don't know. I would watch a 2nd season because my curiosity is peaked, but I really hope NWR took some notes for improvement.
