I know it’s rough around the edges - some odd plotlines, some 90s hornbag writing and fanservice that causes some deserved cringe. But it also has a cast of interesting characters from diverse backgrounds trying to represent their various clans with exemplary work, and figure out how to work together to build a better future for them all.
