Gonna put my caveats up front that I haven't been watching as much anime these days as I'd like so I'm certainly missing good shows (I've been meaning to watching Dynazenon, for example) and that this is all my personal opinion, etc etc... But I felt that G: SP both did an awful lot right that many shows flub on and also did things uncommon in anime (that I watch) which I personally appreciate. It's a very tightly plotted story with strong pacing that uses every part of its 13 episode length. All the characters felt fully realized, and everyone basically behave intelligently throughout — no one every had to carry an idiot ball. There's a time travel mystery which makes sense, and which me and my fam were able to (mostly) sus out through following the logic of the show. It had a really solid aesthetic and good animation. It never felt like they had to stretch the budget (some jank CGI notwithstanding). And then there's the stuff that just appeals to me on a personal level, such as:

Absolutely loved the series, even a lot of it was "I don't really understand it but I'm on the edge of my seat anyway". only thing I'd have really liked was a last episode sort of cool down as these characters get a chance to chill and talk with each other as the world rebuilds but The stinger implies a second season is happening so I'm fine with it. I really hope a second season brings on the same writer and staff so they can knock it out of the park again Also there needed to be significantly more pink haired otoki member. Also I wish they'd have put subs on screen for all the text-only bits. I'm sure most of the twitter timeline stuff was just people going "man what the hell" but it'd be nice; same with the part where she scrolls through the website's profiles.

Oh thank god it wasn't just me who thought the same exact thing and had to pause to laugh.

Absolutely. It's the one missed shot of the show.

It's funny, because when Pelops II divided into multiple alternate future selves, I kept thinking of an episode of Duckman. I just finished a rewatch yesterday (dub first, sub second), mostly to see if it would help with understanding the ending. And I think I get it! Obviously people have catalogue all the Toho easter eggs in the series, especially the end credits. But has anybody managed to put together all the literary references throughout the series?
