I love all the attention to detail in the show...
From the names of the Mecha that are reference to flowers, the real life locations (even the playgrounds and Annas house are real places), to the obvious hints they put in front of you (like the doll that was there all along). There really was a lot of passion poured into this, and it really shows.

Absolutely, I think it goes to show the potential available when an original project can be conceived from the ground-up to conform to the animation medium, and all the supporting details can be crafted to support the text.

Some details I've mentioned before include stuff like how each of the fighter's stance and techniques really reflects their characterization - from Shingetsu's naturally fluid, effortless manipulations constrasted with Mangetsu's more clumsy gestures, Kuon's guqin strings and elegant posture, Nene's martial art stances, and Suishou's carefree, detached, one-handed control.

There's how significant a lot of the names, not just the juxtaposition between 満月 and 新月, but also other characters like Mangetsu's sister Kibou/希望 and the really lovely contrast between the sisters 九音/四翠.

Also the full OP and ED are just so perfect in terms of how their lyrics line up with the narrative. They're pretty visually flat and I'm not a huge fan of the actual music but man they just fit the show so well.
