Just finished watching it. The animation was top notch and there were some great episodes like pic related. But I found myself constantly being annoyed by both isako & yasako and the story in general. It's a shame cause I really liked the concept and some of the side characters. Am I the only one who thinks this way about it?

Yes, you are. What is wrong with you?
But in all seriousness this show is one of my favorites, but having only seen it twice, it really hinges on the viewer being invested on the big questions right from the get go.
It relies on some pretty heavy exposition as well which is only obvious if you don't feel engaged with the characters, but on the second watch the structure is pretty obvious. If you don't like either of the protagonists, I can't imagine any of the heavy moments hitting at all.

You misspelled "aroused".

I actually was invested in the big question but not in relation to the main characters, but more so in relation to the system and as to how everything connected. As for the protagonists, I felt like they were really generic and predictable in every situation, while some of the side characters like for example daichi and akira were way more interesting.

Well those things are really intertwined with the protagonists themselves, and end up being a huge allegory for past trauma. It's difficult for me to imagine the story without the focus on the Yukos, but I can see how they can fall pretty easily into, Nice Glasses Girl and Mysterious Transfer Student.

I've watched it a few years ago. I can honestly say i don't remember a single thing. Nothing at all. That's how memorable it was, people need to stop shilling this shit
