Pacific Rim (2013) was a popcorn action blockbuster movie, with big robots and even bigger monsters. It was fun and thrilling at the same time. Then came Pacific Rim Uprising (2018) that destroyed it all. Bad acting, worse jaegers and even worst script. So I was very much in anticipation when I heard they would make anime series of this franchise. I hope it would set things right. And oh boy, I was so very wrong.
Instead of explaining why the aliens sent kaijus to our world, this anime series went full The Walking Dead directions. They have gangs all over the abandoned outback Australia: Bogan, Ferno, The Sisters and god knows what else. They even have a kaiju tamer that only last about 5 minutes of screen time. What did that even add to the story?! They should have gone with the original story instead. Thank god they stopped at season 2. I can't watch anymore of this crap.
Disappointing 5/10.
