You might've heard about this anime and how people are calling it 'Anime of the Year' and 'Best Anime Ever'. Well, guess what? They're all pulling your leg. As it turns out, this anime is nothing more than an ugly, poorly-constructed web series with almost no redeeming value. Here's why:

Story: 1
Three minutes per episode isn't a whole lot of time to develop a story. Almost every episode is either a letdown or a ripoff. Among the things ripped off in this show are "Return of the Jedi," "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," "Neon Genesis Evangelion," and of course ... "Ghost Rider." Creativity and thoughtfulness are low.

Art: 1
The animation is far from good. In fact, it isn't really animation. It's just a puppet show using characters that look like they were cut out of comic books. You can tell it's not animated because the characters' faces never move, they don't move like animated characters should, and they explode when they die.

Sound: 4
All of the characters sound like they were voiced by the same person. Most of the sound effects were explosions and the music was hard to hear past the speaking. Apart from some cheesy lines of dialogue, there was barely anything good about the sound.

Character: 3
Several characters get killed off in the anime. The only characters with any real relevance are Inferno Cop, Mecha Cop, Mister Judge, Real God, and Hellfire Boy. The only character with any real development is Inferno Cop.

Enjoyment: 4
This really depends on who you are. If you're into nonsense, cops, and explosions, it might appeal to you. If you're more skeptical and want to see something decent, then this might not be what you're looking for.

Overall: 2
In all, this anime is not the 'masterpiece' that it's being made out to be. The animation isn't really animation, each episode is mostly 'one part dialogue, one part explosions,' and the whole thing felt like a collaborative project between Marvel Comics, IPC Media, and Michael Bay. It's not very good.
