Impression:

I wasn't really hooked at the first episode, its kinda weird and it seems like the story would be very boring. But I managed to finished the series including the 2 movies which is the continuation of the story. This show is almost all talk and thinking and sometimes made me sleepy but as the story progress it would become more interesting and any confusion that you have will be answered.

As for the character design, it is nice to look at and somewhat feels like old comic style Ghibli studio look alike. Background is nice and I can see many reference for walling. Overall, story is nice but it wasn't something that would make you want to watch more.
