Good But Needs More Tension
11 June 2023
Well, I officially have a new standard for "meh" anime. This is pretty much a middle-of-the-road anime; while the characters are pretty well differentiated both in terms of design and personality, the animation is smooth, and the world is definitely interesting; this is one of the few well-realized anthropomorphic worlds. It doesn't hold back on the violence, and the weapons and vehicles are well-designed. The continuity is actually pretty good and the world is well-realized.

However, it does suffer from the Navi problem and there is little tension. The administrative avatar, a cute bunny girl, can be all sorts of cloying and seems designed for younger audiences; its just too jarring for this and that it never speaks English doesn't help. That it's constantly dancing doesn't help much. There's also little tension; the cliches tend to rob the writing of tension because you know what's going to happen and it usually does.

However, at six episodes this is well worth the investment, and the show makes for a good couple hours of entertainment. Just don't watch the credits; no one needs that kind of torture. But do watch the show; it's definitely worth the time.
