Miguel Douglas, describing the series style in a review, said that "the series distinctly establishes itself outside the realm of conventional <a href="/wiki/Anime" title="Anime">Japanese animation</a> and instead chooses to forge its own path. With a setting within the realm of <a href="/wiki/Science_fiction" title="Science fiction">science fiction</a>, the series wisely offers a world that seems entirely realistic considering our present time.
