Hmm, Tesla fragments...

As strange as their organization is, at least they are able to keep up with all the troubles in the city. Plus, it's to prevent a catastrophe if something went wrong. Not impressed with the action but they did make Botan look like a badass during that train scene.

Be frank, either you're still in because of the story, or out because of the tried-and-failed CGI, time to separate yourselves from the pack like in Ex-Arm.

The Tesla fragments (or Shards) that this organization has to recover with spies Botan and Kuruma, all the history is indeed Nikola Tesla through, and some antagonist is using it for evil. But please get along together, the both of you.

I quiver at the CG waffle with ice-cream though while both spies are trying to find the Shards of Tesla, plus the running action. The boy Petter and his debt-ridden father Omar are in pretty deep shit, and using a Shard of Tesla as leverage, that does not slide well with them since they want cold, hard cash. To that effect, Botan raises a proposition to convince the family to give up the Shard, but it won't be that easy.

Welp, Petter running away with the Shard to his mom's grave while the failure of a father Omar gets his payable money of debt. 2 options: Botan will save Petter being a bad-ass ninja-like spy before the danger of warping at 160 mph, while Kuruma fights off the loansharks easy peasy while protecting Omar.

Mission accomplished, but the Shard of Tesla was taken by Mickey Miller with that disguise and bump. That's an erroneous misstep.

Now I'm thinking of the Shard of Tesla's warping pretty nuch like Back to the Future's DeLorean warping at 88 mph.

So there are many organizations that know the existence of Tesla Shards. The one who took the Tesla Shard doesn't seem to be evil, just have different purpose. But I think there'll be an evil one, from character profile in the anime webpage.

Is Botan just nervous or afraid of height? They're different problem and require different solution. But it's unlikely that highly trained ninja is afraid of height, right?

How can you guys put attention to the story? Something drives my attention off the plot, you may already know what it is.

Botan is dumb, say that they were dealing with good upstanding citizens, when was a family of pickpocketers, who decided to go to a loan shark, and probably burned the dead wife savings in some illegal way. Great people.

And the result was getting recorded breaking in a train, kidnapping, and escaping breaking a window. Much better than stealing like a decent ninja.

Who need to pay a loan shark when you can play victim?

This anime isn't that much of a trainwreck like Ex-Arm was, despite being similarly ugly, but the story is still rather uninteresting. So far, it's a 5/10 anime for me, brought down to 3/10 due to the hideous 3D animation.

I spent the first 3 minutes of the anime super fast because everyone says it is terrible. Bro. I am loving it. If you are simply looking for a spectacular animation, obviously this is not your anime, but the story is interesting, the voice actors do an incredible job and, above all, THE CHARACTERS ARE VERY CHARISMATIC AND GREAT.
Like, there are animes this season like 'Puraore! Pride of Orange 'with almost a 7 mark. EXCUSE ME !!!! I HAVE FINISHED CHAPTER 1 WITHOUT KNOWING TO DIFFERENTIATE THE 4 MAIN CHARACTERS XD. They have ZERO personality. Oh god, the anime community pissed me off

So, thats the shard, eh? Funny how the story altered that much, and involved such an emotional plot. Strange boy remainded Botan her own mother, making the whole mission lot more difficult. So, thats how the shard works out? Lock has been undone. I wonder who? So, thats their rival? Ofc he was planning to steal it. But, when?

Masterpiece episode. Very simple plot, but unfortunately its took long enough to Botan to getting away that freakin boy out of those express train. But, for what? Nothing. That's why i call this a masterpiece episode. Really make me thrill, until i got a sleep.

Next!

There was even one case and it was good but it also generated several highlights about this information about the fragments of Tesla.

No, the story is not interesting at all. I'm one who is really into watching laughably terrible shows, and this is definitely one of them.

The first episode set her up to be this perfect individual who can do everything. However, in this episode she freezes up all of a sudden. It doesn't feel natural at all, it just feels like they wrote in her being scared just for the sake of it. It's like they have a checklist of things to include in a popular action show and are just going down the list and randomly inserting them into places without caring if they make sense with the characters or in the overall story.

Also, Petter's father changes character so suddenly it's weird. The dad looks like CJ from GTA: San Andreas lmao. Their backstory came up all of a sudden and ended just as suddenly.

The Mafia guys just kinda gave up once they lost one fist fight, like don't they have firearms?

Botan breaks the train's window like it's nothing. I'm pretty sure their stronger than that, because if they were, the company who designed it would be getting sued once something bad happens. Also, no one on the train questions why there is a Japanese kunoichi breaking into the train and sneaking around on it.

This is too fun, I love making fun of crappy shows. Imo a terrible show is more entertaining than a boring one at least, considering alot of the new stuff this season is pretty boring.

It's absolutely fun.
Episode's storys and Actions are pretty good than others.

Also 3DCG is better than EP.01. It make me feel watching game cutscenes
(Maybe I get used to this anime)

It is not bad Anime you saw. seriously.

It's not just the visuals that are bad here. This organization is worse than when the fate of the world is left to ten year olds. I mean, I'm not expecting realism when we're talking about crystals Tesla left super science in somehow, but the super spies letting so much get by them is obnoxious. Also did they decide the crystal must activate at that speed purely cause the teleporting train clocked at it? Sure betting a lot of lives on that.

I think my favorite part of the episode was when the flashback had her traditionally animated. I like to believe it's because it was before CG took off.

This just grew on me further, in a good way. It's a really good thing that I got used to the CGI as quick as I could since Episode 1.

I'm liking where this is going. The character and plot dynamics are just getting better.

Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive

Or perhaps their view isn't as narrow as looking at every piece of fiction as something that has to follow guidelines of what's considered objectively good writing.

This the modern TV series equivalent of a trashy pre 00 OVA. It's a shame how easily people dismiss the entertaiment value wack fun can provide, while being less harsh on more functional yet bland series. At least you seem to appreciate the former.

I'm enjoying it, but this whole "there is no objective goodness in film" is a stupid way to interact with the medium. Simply put this show is lazy. It's not "doing something different" because if you've been paying attention you should have been able to tell it is trying to do the same things as other shows and failing at them. This show is not trying to be unique, that is simply a result of the poor production and writing. And therefore it is perfectly deserving of objective criticism

I didn't say that there are no rules of what makes writing work. It's just that some people intentionally chose to ignore them, because they seek out something else. One may prefer the taste of a cheap ice cream to a vanilla gelato, provided it's the right flavor. And to me the goofy looking CGI here got more charm than an unremarkable production. People don't necessarily have low standards, they have their own standards.

I agree that failure is usually more entertaining than just a lack of success.
however I think that people who do truly base their standards on objective good anime production shouldn't be looked down upon for not enjoying goofy shit like this. It's good that there are people holding creators accountable for the quality of their works. That said the vast majority of "critics" are people that hate on shows because Mothers Basement made some attack video on it, or just to be contrarian to popular opinion. I would certainly agree that such people are better off just enjoying shit rather than being illogically harsh on the media they watch

Haha yes the tracks were pretty bad. Not only are they all straight but they even overlap at the ends. At first I thought they mean to show that there's something wrong with the tracks. Why the unnecessary shot showing them close up when you know you didn't model them well?

Seriously such a ridiculous thing to, that Tesla fragment could have killed so many people and here our kind lady botan asking that kid to give it to her and risking to kill all the passengers this stupid things wouldn't have happen if these detectives have taken that fragment when they entered the house give there capabilities it was way more easy than a piece of cake. I mean it's really irritating so much for a fucking kids wish which could have killed them all and botan afraid of jumping that was also insane I mean u are responsible for letting him enter the train. I will give 2/10 2 out of respect as an otaku
