Moonrise

Moonrise is a visually appealing and entertaining series, with a unique art style and some striking animation sequences. It's fun to watch and has a lot of promise, but unfortunately, the pacing is far too fast for the story it's trying to tell. As a result, the characters come across as two-dimensional, and the world feels underdeveloped.

There's a lot of emotional weight packed into a short runtime, but without enough time spent on character development or worldbuilding, it's hard to fully connect with the cast or invest in their journeys. A longer first season-or even a second season-could have given the narrative the breathing room it needed and elevated the show into something more impactful.

Still, it's an enjoyable ride for fans of sci-fi and anime, and there's clear potential if Netflix decides to continue the story. 7/10 - beautiful, bold, but ultimately a bit shallow.
