United Kingdom | Empire | "Each episode told from the perspective of a different character – think Robert Altman directing 'Twin Peaks' as anime. It sucks you in and messes with your mind (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" | POS |
United States | IGN | "Most interesting to me is how each episode is carried by a different person, although they are interconnected in some way or another." | POS |
