Honestly, I've seen smart people who think it's overly confusing and hard to understand...

Frankly it depends on whether a person knows anything about law of conservation of energy.

Most of the physics is literally, 4d objects interact with time. Post ep 8 there aren’t much lectures to be had.

But honestly I feel it caters to those who have some grasp on more advanced physics.

I guess that's kind of my problem with Singular Point, the fact that you need to know a lot about advanced physics to understand what's happening. I feel like you shouldn't need to do a bunch of research to understand a show about giant monsters. Having a story based around scientific concepts isn't necessarily a bad thing (the original Jurassic Park novel is a good example of a science based story done right), but the general audience still needs to be able to understand it. I feel like Singular Point went WAY to far with that idea, to the point were a good chunk of it felt like a bunch of overly confusing, boring lectures, which unfortunately took away from the enjoyment and made it feel like a jumbled mess...

I feel it’s a story that doesn’t cater to an American audience, given the fact that it’s success has been in Japan.

Also I went in not knowing much about physics I’m not going to lie, but understood it.

Paleoentology was my thing.
