Comment
I'm in the process of trying to finish watching the series, **I'm Standing on a Million Lives** (_100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru_). I know that doesn't inspire more to view it, but it is the truth for now. As it stands (for me) the show is dragging a bit. It's a little too pragmatic in that the series is not doing much to improve the MC's character. He's changing but like I've mentioned, the show is doing it slowly. Also his personality is a bit advanced for his age. He thinks strategically, which would not be bad IF he were older. I did not know he was supposed to be in the 9th grade. That makes him, at his oldest, maybe 15. Still his mode of thinking does not fit that narrative. And that is a bit off-putting. I'll update this when I finish the series. I don't have a lot of enthusiasm for a positive review to be forthcoming. lol Update Sept. 24, 2022 -- Yeah, I lost interest. The same issues I mentioned above just didn't make going back, to pick up the series again, worth it. It's slow, too pragmatic, and the fanservice is weak. The show probably gets better, but I made it through half the series and had not been able to build the anticipation or enthusiasm needed to continue viewing. So good luck in your viewing, I hope somenoe (with more resiliance) can give this a more comprehensive review.
