Wow, as far as Netflix animes go this one falls ridiculously short. Yeah it's beautifully done. Yeah it checks off a lot of boxes one would expect from NF animes but can't get past the crappy story line and the tired recycled, self smiling, maniacal bad guy that pops up in way too many animes Yeah I get it he's insane blah blah blah Just annoying at this point

Amazing Graphics

I am 52 and I was tired of the same old garbage on TV. My nephew liked anime so I thought I would give it a try a year or so ago and, wow, was I amazed! I watch anime now most of the time, lol. Hundreds if not 1,000+ hours in the last year. Back to my review.....

The graphics in this are extremely well done! Probably some of the best I have seen to be honest. The eyes are bigger when a character wears glasses, reflections off car windows, the record player how the record spins around, all just spectacular! Graphics wise I would give this an 11. The action in this, fight scenes, I give and 8 to 8.5. The story line is okay but not great so I give it about a 7. Overall I gave it a 9 just how impressed I was about the graphics. It is a good show. I believe it is rated a bit low here.

Enjoy!

Unwatchable

The story is pure gibberish and the pacing is brutal. You never come to care about a single character and it is hard to find anything that will keep you interested. Since I didn't find one after three episodes, I quit.

People overreact

[GoosePhone36 · 9/10 · 27 March 2024]

People are so upset that it's nothing big and completely surprising. But it takes place in the REAL WORLD. It's also a Netflix original anime so you can't expect it to be the most amazing thing ever. Don't get me wrong stuff like Cyberpunk Edgerunners was amazing but the city already had a story behind it. They also get upset because the character design isn't the best but that's also the real world in the story. No one has natural bright pink hair. They just assume all anime's need to have some big power so something. It's also a mystery story so people are upset it's "not special" as I said. That's like being upset because a fantasy story has elves, dragons and dwarves.

Below average Writing, great concept, nice animation

Being someone who loves Anime and watches it at least once a week, I decided to give this ago. But, well, I couldn't get past the police station shootout. Unless Japan has the most incompetent police force, not to mention the least train to use a gun in a crisis against a single assailant with a room full of armed police, then obviously that scene makes a million amounts of sense.

But, you see in reality, when a person sees another being hurt, stabbed, or shot in a room full of people, the police officer is trained to move on instinctive, its their job, to protect and serve, except in this waste of an interesting idea.

The fact that the 'mask' only changes the face of the wearer, makes no difference to the ability of the person. Are we to believe it gives the wearer superhuman abilities that creates an element of fear where fight or flight is totally removed from the human race let alone the story?

The scene made me want to check out who wrote it, of course, too many chefs in the kitchen on this one. Most manga is either a single creator/writer or a duo of storytellers, obviously when you have 4 and the director as a writer as well then well, you get a mess like this.
