Small bit of criticism
I watched the first four episodes.
To me, the pacing in this show is excruciatingly slow. I know that many of you will probably say that it's supposed to be gentle and relaxing. I agree with that, but it's not the atmosphere that's the problem.
It's the dialog. There's WAY too much dialog. Information is told to us through mounds of expositional dialog, which gets very tiring.
I would prefer if this anime would SHOW these amazing things that they are talking about to me, rather than simply TELLING. The beauty of animation is that you can show the viewer anything to progress the story, and you aren't limited in any way, shape or form. Actions and motion truly speak louder than words.
I was really looking forward to this anime after hearing so much praise. However, it's let me down because, from what I've seen so far, it seems to be a talk-fest.
Anyone who has conflicting opinions with me care to state why?
