Gokicha!!

This is a show which could have been really good, given the kind of care and funding other shows get. The premise is simple but easily enough to fill a twelve-episode series, as opposed to the short two episodes we got. The animation is janky and underproduced, but at its core all the problems being faced by this series are the result of factors outside of its control, which is oddly fitting given the theme.

The factors within its control are all well-done. The show manages to be emotionally heavy despite its brevity, and the main character is interesting and amicable. There's ... room for a lot of ethical philosophy within the writing of the show which they seem keen on exploring. But inn the end we get only two episodes, so that's all.

All in all this was a good show hamstrung by its funding and the realities of corporate media manufacture.
