Like many others, I'm really torn, but I ultimately enjoyed it overall.

Loved the nuanced characters and how they played off of each other. The world-building did a good job of dropping hints of a larger setting, then leaving it to the audience's imagination rather than ruining it by over-explaining. The core bones of the plot were solid, and the themes were interesting.

But as has been said, it's plagued by animation issues, and the extremely uneven pacing didn't give the plot a chance to breathe.

I unfortunately don't have access to the original novels, but it smells to me like one of those cases of a strong source being let down by its adaptation.

The ending felt satisfying as the end of a first major arc, so I'd definitely love to see a continuation. However, instead of a second season, I think a manga adaptation would serve to leave behind some of the above issues and allow its strengths to shine.

Still 7/10 for me.

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.

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

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

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.

I really enjoyed this anime, so for me 10/10. Sure the animation was not the best, but I really had a fun time with the characters. As many others said the op is very good. Honestly, the op set the tone of the show very well! I think this show has high rewatch ability, so I may rewatch it in the future.

I went into this show with no real expectations. I was a bit worried about if I would like it since it was the first cop/ crime anime I have watched. I just decide to pick it up because of a shit post on youtube and I am glad I did.

I doubt we will be getting a second season. I wish the light novels would get a physical release in America. For now the best I can do is buy the blu ray.

I have to admit I really enjoyed this show, it was good enough to bingewatch and I will give it a 9/10 inspite of the dodgy animation at times. I does have flaws though but overall it delivered enjoyment and a reasonably good story (even if the body swop eps were cringe-worthy). Both main characters were awesome, and Tilarna was wonderful, a real cutey. Pity that a 2nd season will not happen though. Such a nice change from this endless isekai stuff.
May the Uguu be with you.

Decent anime. Kind of a nice change of pace to have MCs who are adult instead of being kids/teenagers like the majority of the anime that's being put out right now.
