I don't see anything particularly mid about this. Sure, it relies on a slower, evocative sparseness in the storyboarding and art, but it fits the semi-eerie atmosphere and sense of loneliness expected of a story about isolated, lost humanity. The characters feel rounded and deep, and there's a slight sense of humor to keep it from feeling too self-serious. YMMV, of course.
I heard that kids these days wouldn't get the Soylent Green reference which would be a damn shame if true
