Story: 8/10 This show doesnt have spectacular storytelling but its highly entertaining nonetheless. To summarize following the unexpected and sudden petrification of humanity nature has taken over and thousands of years pass while mankind remains imprisoned in statuesque form. The story then follows the exploits of Senkuu Ishigami and company whose singular goal is free all of mankind from their stone prison. What I really liked about the story was that although its shounen it still has a captivating story with new world building coming week after week. If you like survival and civilization building this is one of the best shows out there. However the background story leaves a kind of meh taste in ones mouth with the cliche antagonists wishing to just destroy science while the protagonists wish to do the opposite. One of my favorite plot points of the story was the reveal of the Characters: 7/10 Most of the characters in this show arent memorable by any means and only have surface level plot and character development with most just being cliches. Rich with stereotypes like musclehead with no brains strong girl with an attitude and scientist with no athletic ability this show doesnt distinguish itself from other shounens with its lackluster characters and dialogue. Visuals: 8/10 The show has pretty good animation with the only complaint I have are the clannadesque eyes of the female characters where they look like hammerhead sharks their eyes are so far apart. Apart from that the show rarely uses CGI and animations are pretty crisp especially in fight scenes where they really need to be. Audio: 9/10 I really enjoyed the opening and ending songs of this show with all of them being certifiable bangers in my book. The sound effects used in the show are also good with nothing being audibly terrible or repetitive. Enjoyment: 10/10 I really enjoyed this show there wasnt a single week when I started watching where I wanted to wait a few weeks for more episodes or got bored in any way. The civilization building in this show is highly entertaining in my opinion with an invention of the week scheme that always leaves you wondering whats going to be developed next by Senkuu and company. Characters arent annoying story always progresses smoothly with nothing that leaves a bad taste in your mouth and most of all the story always throws the most unexpected curve balls that just enthrall you even more. https://i.kymcdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/514/339/a7d.gif Overall: 8.4/10 Ultimately this show is a very enjoyable watch and even has bits of educational elements thrown in. Although it doesnt have storytelling that will leave a significant lasting impression and is comparable to a Saturday morning cartoon if youre looking for something lighthearted and fun then this is the show for you. https://media1.tenor.com/images/484e38c83d27b8eb894b4410895e9aa9/tenor.gif?itemid=14797361
