*SPOILER-FREE*
Plot driven or main focused shows, are normally pretty fragile, they either do an excellent job with what they have or fall into a pit of similarity. And unfortunately, in my opinion, “B: The Biginning” an original Netflix produced show, falls into the later.
As far as animation goes, despite being well animated and designed, for a studio such as Production I.G., there is always the expectation of an insanely “Attack on Titans” level action scenes. Thankfully, since it is a mystery and suspense show, those

Summary: Insanely good action scenes, though the show mainly focuses on its convoluted plot
I really enjoyed the show on first watch. I've watched a bunch of it a second time already, and it definitely becomes less confusing the second time through. *Probable spoilers throughout, if that bothers you, skip this review. Strengths: The action scenes in this show are outstanding and unique, sort of a combination of Dragon Ball Z and Ying Xiong (a.k.a. Hero (2002) with Jet Li). The fight between Yuna and Koku is particularly well done: There was clearly a lot of attention paid to color and light, and the music ... Jul 4, 2018
its not great, not especially intriguing characters, noticeable plot issues and generally lacking depth in writing, and detail. While still enjoyable, its definitely nothing special besides the odd action sequence.
Story 4 It has a rather standard super humans background akin to K project, or Kiznaiver, Zankyu no terror. Proceeds with a modern (the synopsis lies about advance tech) buddy cop esque story. The mystery isn't really set up well, the suspense relies on rule of drama. The plot just really lacks overall from a lack of depth and a few too many ass pulls that don't feel justified at all (you can't just use mind control ... Apr 14, 2023
I decided to write this review in 'mixed feeling', since I know somebody may like or don't like this anime. Somes may think it's not unique or boring someway, or may have nice plot and interesting.
While the anime' content not thrilled enough for me, its main plot + sub plot is great tbh, actually I love the plot twist. I was confused about the ending but then I realized that it also has season 2, so I am looking forward to it (a little bit tho) and hope that I could enjoy it more than the first season. Overall, the character development is normal, animation + ... Previous - |
