| Interesting premise,very lousy execution.The script felt very disjointed and superficial ,downright inept at times. Story elements were explained either to much or to little to none at all ,nothing in between. Overall presentation was good ,but everything else :story,characters,progression,ending..... were all very lackluster or rushed. |
| Ok ending. I still think the second half is stronger than the first half. Overall: -How the superhuman abilities originated was never explained -The memory-wiping agent was pretty random, how Sakurai could fall in his trick is never explained. In fact, if he knows the chinese guy has superpowers that can be used like that then he should be more careful since his power is powerful. -The first half of this anime has pointless filler. -Pacing is too fast in the last episode. +The subject matter is simply too controversial and I'm surprised they allowed this. Even I don't see any similar anime with Japanese troops in China. So wow. +I loved the artwork, especially for the OP. +The main cast was generally well written. +Deaths of important characters in the last episode is always good. I'll give it a solid 6/10 |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| After watching all episodes, including all special/ova episodes of Night-Raid: Night Raid should have been 12 episodes instead of 16 episodes. As many have noted, the "filler" episodes in the first half were really dull. Also, it didnt help that the anime had this episodic setting to it with the filler episodes in the first half, which can make it difficult to watch and ruins the immersion. From episodes 0-5, I only liked episode 3 From episodes 6-14, these episodes were great Overall, Night-Raid is an anime that is very interesting due to its historical aspect and very nice interesting characters. However, many episodes of the first half can be a drag, which makes it difficult to keep on watching the anime without dropping it. But still, Night-Raid is a very underrated anime. |

| I thought the beginning episodes were great with a fun "super spies" story, kind of like a more realistic Princess Principal (and I use "realistic" verrrrrrry loosely). But then it went all political and boring, and I couldn't wait for it to be over. For the most part, I did like the main characters, but I just didn't care for their personal drama, the Manchuria drama, or the Prophecy goddess stuff. Had it all been simple, episodic spy capers or like Psychic Squad / Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu, then it could have been great. I really liked Fuuran though, since she reminded me of Shampoo. I wish she was a team member. 7/10, the 3 specials/ovas were much better and more interesting. |
