A man who appears every 700 years. Stretching before the man's eyes the world rusted away to monochrome and gray. Once before the town flourished that is now in ruins. The man now, has a chance meeting with a person, a prositute. A story of passion curling like smoke....Tairosu Tomah's story has begun. (Source: Animenfo)
Audience Consensus
Audience reception is mixed but generally appreciative of the show's artistic and experimental nature. Some find the visual style and pacing unconventional, while others are drawn to its unique atmosphere and storytelling approach. The show is considered a heartfelt artistic creation, particularly for fans of Yoshitaka Amano's work.
Strengths
- Unique visual style with monochrome paintings and flowy lines that fit the setting.
- Interesting narrative device of 'Story within a story'.
- Voice acting feels bare and like real people talking, adding to the mystery.
Weaknesses
- May be perceived as 'boring' or 'weird' by modern viewers used to fluid movement and colorful palettes.
- Not every character action and not every thought is clear.
