I love it though
It feels like if you mixed Gundam SEED with Death Note while you had greasy pizza fingers, and spilled a little bit of anti-imperialism in it.
All I knew about this show was the desk/table thing, which I haven't gotten to yet. But yeah, this show is incredibly stupid (fun) as opposed to SEED's incredibly stupid (painful)
Unfortunately it goes to incredibly stupid (painful) in his next two shows, Guilty Crown and Valverave the Liberator. Both those shows have a kinda light political commentary in the same vein as Code Geass, but they flub it sooooooo hard in very not-fun ways.
Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised Witch from Mercury turned out as well as it did.
I loved Guilty Crown when it aired but I was also 20 and didn't have as much media literacy. I just remember how much I hated the ended and shit posting about the Shurher arc on /a/. Maybe I'll revisit it and see how I feel now.
The biggest problem with the show was that it just became incomprehensible- by the end no one knew what any characters motivations were, never mind who was aligned with what faction. So the ending just became this slog where the characters might as well have been ad-libbing a script.
Also yeah the entire "the MC decides that the only solution to his problems is The Final Solution" is one whole other can of worms.
The only good thing that came out of the show was Egoist (and the music in general).
