After watching this multiple times, I can confidently say that this is one of the best shows I have seen, animated or otherwise. There's just so much this show gets right. It was a wonderful surprise the first time I'd watched it casually without any expectations and also a very rewarding experience on subsequent viewings. The characters are very well written and the chemistry between all of them is just great! You can have any two characters interacting with one another and there's never a dull moment. The story is also better than it had any right to be. The elements just come together to create this immensely entertaining experience that leaves you wanting more. Seriously, the biggest complaint I have with this show is that it feels like it was cut short. I mean there's the potential for whole arcs for a bunch of characters which would really work in any kind of setting, and some of them need those as well.
The art, especially the backgrounds and the character designs are also really well done. They capture the setting and the personalities of the characters nearly perfectly. That said, the second biggest complaint I have with the show is the animation which is not quite consistent throughout. It fluctuates between really good and average. The show also takes a little while to to really get good (the first couple of seasons are not as good as the subsequent ones) and the ending feels a little rushed.
Even with these flaws, it still managed to be a very entertaining experience and I loved it. Highly recommended. Just go in with an open mind and enjoy a beautifully done work of art!
