Deeply endearing with likable and very well-done characters, and delves into several poignant topics. It's unfortunate then how many of those themes simply go nowhere and how unsatisfying the conclusion of the "main plot" is due to the bizarre pacing. I can't tell you how shaken I was thinking "wow, what a great rising action, can't wait to see where this goes," Only for the title card for the epilogue to show up.
