| I should've known better than to trust something from the animation studio & director that gave us Berserk 2016. |
 |
| Wasted time. I thought this anime would be much better but it wasn't. I liked the political and ethics stuff but this show focused too much on the shitty action for it to be insightful. 5 or 6/10. Will give it a 5 for now. |
| All in all a pretty good show and a nice homage to long ago cop buddy shows. I’ve got to wonder if the author was influenced by Starsky & Hutch. |
Nevaltion said: i hope there’s another season too. And my appraisal of the show is the same as yours. I loved cop shows when I was growing up.This was a good fucking show!! It had the same feels of Western cop shows which makes it a ten in my book. That ending was magnifique and Tilarna relation with Kei grows stronger than ever before!!!! I hope there a season two!! |
FMmatron said: The dance they do towards the end of the opening is fantastic, and I generally have little use for dance.Still get's 5/10 because it was actually watchable( and had one of the best openings this season) |
| Please just give it a proper budget next time! |

| Aside from the other things, I should also point out that Tourte's victory was underwhelmingly brushed aside with positive thinking and believing that it will all be fine. It was portrayed as a big deal earlier, and now it apparently barely matters. ...What? Then why were you worried in the first place? |
Kimurah said: Wished they didn't go with the over the top move on Kei decapitating Zelada, what?! they expect us to think he had some samurai training and he's able to properly wield an alien sword in order to go for a clean cut? maybe he had? I mean after all he was one of the soldiers during war, he even was on another side. So having at least basic knowledge about sword fighting would be understable. |

| From what other people are posting, the anime covered all of the LN volumes |
| Enjoyable! I wish she could of at least shown a little affection towards him.... I would of been satisfied with a hug :( |
| Honestly, I'm actually surprised that I enjoyed the show as much as I did. Naturally, like with most people here (and probably watched it), the biggest problem with the largest cut to animation. While less of an issue, the plot progression was... I don't know whether to say it was "weird" or just "different" considering people are reporting that it covered all LN volumes. Still, having a beginning conflict and one at the end with and the middle being more lax was certainly different than most storytelling. Although, I would have much preferred if the middle-part covered more personal stories. (Hell, I would have shipped the two if we had more time) Yet, I enjoyed it. Part due to the ol' Buddy Cop theme, and the other because I like both Kei and Tilarna. As for this last episode, well, just typing the sentence "a grizzled cop cuts off a wizard's head with a warrior's otherworldly sword as she shoots him" sounds good. 7/10. Needs more Tilarna + Tilarna's butt If I season 2 were possible, I'd say I'd like it... as long as the animation were MUCH better. |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
| Say what you will about the animation quality, everything else about this anime was pretty great. |

| It's true that the animation wasn't too great, but not many in this thread are discussing the ideals the characters discussed this episode. I thought it was really well done that Tilarna decides to follow through with justice even if it results in a candidate she doesn't like being handed the election (although I guess she was convinced Molzeemay killed Zoe, so maybe it wasn't that hard of a choice). |
| Its decent. Its refreshing to watch a detective anime like this once in a whole. Thoug, Tilarna was reason I watched this. Heh. Poor Randall thou. At least that Zelada and Chan guy is dead. Its just that the ending felt underwhelming. |
| Well this was disappointing, another anime that set the bar way to high and couldn't keep up. It wasn't bad, but it felt kind of bad coming off the first few episodes. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Bit anticlimactic ending, the start of this series showed some interesting premise, but after the fairy case it slowly went downhill in my opinion, even the end fight with Zelada felt a bit too rushed and didn't felt satisfying |
 |
| 5/10 Like all said...a great start and then all the way down to disappointing finale. Enough to watch by but nothing more to offer for...I forgot about plot if there is any... Kei was good to watch... |
| Honestly, I did enjoy it for what it is and I would say the connection between Kei and Tilarna is what sold this show. The two are such a great duo and it was fun and interesting the conversation and chemistry of the two. This is what made the show and that ending together felt very genuine. It kinda wished the Anime was better in-terms of story and the animation. Many seem to be wanting more of Kei and Tilarna which is the best part of this show, in my opinion. |
 |
| Ah, was wondering why Tilarna and Kei were being kept alive: to salvage the evidence. Talk about turning a desperate situation into a gleaming victory. After a tensed final fight our knights make the ethically sound choice about widow Mozeleemay. They endure. Overall some far and apart outstanding fight scenes, communicative chemistry, excellent world building and that cop tone almost never seen in anime. Awesome show bogged down by its production issues unfortunately. |

| Just watched the final episode (dubbed, that's why I'm only watching it now). This was one of my hidden gems from this season. I don't normally like cop drama, but the mix of cop drama, alien worlds and cute Exedilicia worked for me. I liked the character interaction between the two MC, it didn't feel forced and there wasn't any stupid fan service scenes to ruin the mood between Matoba and Tilarna. It seemed as it they genuinely started to become friends, and I mean friends, there didn't really appear to be any romantic attraction between them (Tilarna sometimes had a bit of a crush on him, but that was it imo), and that was ok. Matoba obviously had ex girlfriends everywhere in the police force & we didn't need them to be forced together. I'm a bit surprised by the low score on MAL though, 6.91? I gave it an 8/10. It's not a genre (police, mystery) I normally watch but am glad I gave this show a go. They wrapped everything up nicely, went away feeling satisfied (not keening for a second season like some first seasons leave you feeling). |

| The move to kill Zelada was actually cool, using each other's weapons. |
| The tastes of MAL users sure puzzles me. I'm at least glad the folks at Reddit see the high merits of this show. While much has been said about this show's animation, Cop Craft serves as proof of Millepensee's talent as a studio in spite of such low production values. Episode 7 alone is a great testament to that. Now to wait on those Blu-rays and see the show in its ideal form. It's honestly been years since I found an anime I've been so invested into as Cop Craft. Stellar cast of characters, splendid dialogue, fascinating world, brilliant humor; this show is just a treasure trove of great writing that's sadly undermined by poor production ...and that dumb body-swap arc. Eagerly waiting for LN translations and the second season this really deserves. My review of it, assuming anyone cares: https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=318773 |

Sondfer said: Cop Craft had great OP and ED, but inconsistent storytelling and animation almost ruined it. Well that's easy to explain... They Took Hillary Clinton. Made her Right Wing. Had her kill her Husband to ascend to power and brought the fight against illegal immigration to an anime... Thanks for nothing. Blood Blockade Battlefront avoided all this nonsense to bring us a decent anime... This is just a good example of propaganda disguised as an anime and disappointing. |

| Stay Young and Watch Anime......el psy congroo |
| It started off quite lovely but more down the line it just became boring to continue watching if I'm completely honest. So in general it was an okay watch but nothing too special. |
 |
| This was my highest anticipated title from Summer 2019, a mix of Fantasy and Police/Crime Drama had me very interested. Well I strolled through all 12 episodes in a single sitting and my verdict is the show was pretty good but maybe not as balanced as I had hoped. By that I mean the Fantasy side of the story just wasn't as strong as I thought it would be and later on it mainly took a back seat in many ways to some politics and power grabbing. Yes it played a part but the Semanian's just weren't that visible in the series in the latter stages. I really did want more Elves, Fairies and general fantasy monsters in this series. An Anime Fables but it didn't manage to do something like that. It's not even on the same level as Hyper Police which is unfortunate as the shows are very similar. Though I do prefer this series to Witch Hunter Robin. But as mentioned I still made it through the series in a single day, I still found the show engaging and once I accepted the plot I was given I think the show was fine at providing entertainment. I think the dynamic of Kei and Tilarna was solid and they were fun to be with. I think the show might have been better if it stayed on the course it was on for the first 5 or 6 episodes for sure though. It was after that and the couple of 'filler' like episodes that all the politics came in and while true it was all connected it just wasn't quite as good as the earlier stuff. Also seemed like some stuff just never got followed up on in the way I expected it to be. The Animation was better than I expected, that isn't to say it was amazing because it wasn't but considering the studio behind this show doesn't have a great track record I think it must be said that the Animation is more than passable. Opening was awesome. Anyway that is my rough take on this series. Probably won't end up being my favourite show of the year 2019 in the end but it didn't fail to live up to my hype as such, just maybe didn't quite hit the highs I hoped for but I liked it. |
| Comedy tag is needed mods... |
 |
| Quality Finish- Kei and Tilarna using the other race's respective weapons to finish off Zelada was very nice and their partnership was among the finer points of the show. Wish the animation was a little (lot) cleaner but overall a solid experience. |

| Starts out very promising but just becomes a bit of a directionless slog and some of the single episode stories were not good. At the very least it was watchable. |
| Cop Craft is way better than other animes in this range of score. It's watchable and not annoying but doesn't have any wow effect in it. On the bright side it managed to make me laugh two times where a lot of comedies can't achieve that. |
| [url=https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Blutsauger&sclick=1] |
| It's a decent show not boring or uninteresting. |
| Ehhh.... This show wants to do a lot of things and in the end doesn't really end up doing any of them. It flits from one idea to the next, never taking the time to answer any of the questions it raises. You'd likely be better off watching Rakuen Tsuihou, Dimension W, or even Plastic Memories if you're interested in this sort of character dynamic. |
| It's honestly kinda sad to see the score of this show here on MAL. The only actual flaw this anime had was the animation, which was really horrible at times. The soundtrack was great, the story (with the exception of the 1 1/2 Cat episodes) was pretty cool and the characters were likeable. But that kinda just shows that many people only care about animation (how is it possible that The God of Highschool scored better than this? Like seriously, it had nothing except for the animation and maybe soundtrack). It's a 8/10 for me. Probably more of a 7/10, but I liked the characters enough to give it a little boost. - 2 points for the animation - 1 point for the body swap plot + 1 point for loveable characters |

There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| overall the series was ok, but man did the bad animation and freeze frames annoy me it really felt things showuld have been better and what makes it wore not even the BD version of this was any better though i can say least all the eps wasnt as bad as ep 3 i pretty much almost dropped this after seeing that with that said again the series was ok but nothing amazing in the end i only stayed with this series because of the cuteness that is Tilarna and thats it if another season was to ever happen (which i highly doubt ) id watch for more Tilarna but with how they done things with the anime of this i dont ever seeing more anime of this series happening |
| "one step at a time" |
| I really enjoyed the characters, all of them, except maybe the chief. The artwork was clean and interesting, the story was great but the pacing was inconsistant and the animation was awful. |
