Single sex society? Not really.They had to choose a sex at 15(or 16).A choice.A very important one.If you would have to make this choice I'm guessing you would think about it very much.So much that the differences between man and woman would be concrete,solid and not borderline like they,us,are trying to make it in our society.Sure the end result were always manly women and womenly men...Anyway,The gender thing was a big issue because once you'd have chosen a sex you officially joined society as a member.
Btw,I was the one that said that thing about friends and I'm sticking with it.Where's the flirting,the seduction,the giggles(oh wait,there were some of these),the small things that mean so much?
As far as I can remember they all knew each other(except the new girl ofc),had a friendly attitude towards each other.The relationship did not grow,the characters did and with it did the relantionship evolve.It either turned sour or sweet,it doesn't matter.There were very long moments of "wtf is wrong with her?" where I would just sit and wonder what is taking so long for girl X to notice or to acknowledge the feelings of girl Y when X was clearly into her and vice versa.
I repeat,the anime was great.Loved the animation,sound was meah,the plot was interesting to put it mildly with the war,the internal struggle ie politics,the religion.I realised how dumb I was,am when I noticed the connection between their god Tempus-Spatima with...yeah,time-space at about ep 20.Yep,I'm slow
Anyway,the whole time-travel thing is brilliant.The really surprising thing is that they managed to put all of this^^ in a character driven anime.Great job!
The bad about it is:too much was cramed.I can't recall any of the character names or traits.Where?When?Who?Why?and With who?
I'm happy for you if you like this anime and can feel it.That was the point of watching it,neh? I unfortunatly was disappointed.
