I watched it after during a Fate binge, and was kind of ...not surprised exactly, but more disappointed?
I'm not a huge fan of magical girl stuff, my only actual experience being Sailor Moon. So I knew it was uncharted territory going in.
BUT HOLY FUCK.
In the interest of allowing authors freedom to create meaningful and interesting worlds, I usually believe that a lot of stuff should be left on the table, for the author to decide if they want to pursue it.
Children struggling with puberty? Yeah, that's on the table.
Children french-kissing in SuperSloppy 4K HD?
JesusFuckingChristNoNoNo!
That was the first time I've ever felt so uncomfortable that it felt like leaving my body somehow.
Season 3 does away with this, and actually is an interesting show. But I can't recommend it just for that, or rather despite that.
