Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. austin – ★★★★★
   “From beginning to end, this is a surreal and masterful deconstruction of society, fame, and mental health. Kon’s vision is unmatched and chillingly relevant.”

2. leigh – ★★★★½
   “This show takes you on a ride through collective delusion, media obsession, and inner demons. Each episode feels like its own parable—terrifying, tragic, and deeply human.”

3. morganmorganmorgan – ★★★★
   “Only Kon could make an anime that turns trauma into a serial mystery thriller and still be weirdly hopeful. Absolutely wild experience.”

4. lu – ★★★★★
   “It’s hard to describe how haunting and emotionally resonant this is. The animation is stunning, the themes hit hard, and it stays with you long after it ends.”

5. angel – ★★★★½
   “Every episode peels back another layer of society’s madness. The blending of reality and illusion is brilliant and unnerving in the best way.”
