this didnt feel like ryukishis writing at all. if we assume he just excuses ''war bad cant continue ciconia'' and actually got bored with ciconia then did he waste his time while writing loopers? dont get me wrong its not bad I enjoyed some moments but its nothing special with saving grace being art direction. some points were not explained like what happens to people on the outside of the loop (which is very important for me) and pacing felt rushed with could be potentially important moments for characters getting skipped or cutted midway literally. short fun though
