Yet another uncanny valley anime flop
27 February 2020
Is it 2D? 3D? Cell shaded? Realistic shadows? Motion captured? Procedural? Realistically proportioned? Eyes-bigger-than-fists loli-waifu? Believable physics, or superhero rules?

Well, the animators didn't know, and you won't either after watching it. What an absolute bloody mess this thing is.

The English dub is everything that we've come to expect. Jobbing talent just rattling out their well practiced cliche character lines and random grunts with as few retakes as possible. They know the bare minimum of what's expected, and boy, do they deliver it.

There might be a story in here, but you'll find it hard to get to it. Episode 1 is almost entirely exposition. We know who everyone is, because they tell us, but not why we should care about them.

The premise that the antagonists are essentially unkillable lasts for almost 7 whole minutes, and a full half of that is the tiresome rock-anthem credits.

This is just quota studio filler. Nobody is proud of this, and you won't be happier for sinking your time into watching it.
