I gave this show an 8, but it was a bit generous. Although it is entertaining, the show can be very childish. I feel like it would've been so much better if
1. They didn't have people fanboy over cape wearing super heroes
2. They villains didn't call themselves the "Villains League"
3. There weren't silly quirks that changed people's appearances as a whole and made them non-human. They're supposed to be normal humans with powers, not genetically modified mutants.
I enjoyed watching this but a lot of the silliness ruined it for me. I feel like the show doesn't know what age it's trying to target. Sometimes ... it will target an older audience and sometimes it will target a younger audience.

Light Spoilers Ahead

The plot to this show had potential that was wasted. Basically, a guy acquires the power to make anyone do anything he says. However, sometimes during the show you will forget he even has the power because he can go a whole episode without using it or even mentioning it. Or maybe I was just asleep and missed some of it.
The show is honestly nothing about the power at all. It's about some future setting where "Britanians" take over the world and the protagonist tries to take them down.
I feel like this show could've been so much better if it was just ... a guy in a normal world who used his powers to become a world leader or something, instead of making a show with something that's hard to follow (mainly because a lot of it is just silly and/or boring, like how one scene they're having a party for a cat and the next scene they're fighting people to the death with robots). However if they went that route it may have ended up being way too similar to Death Note. It still would've been better than it is now, however.
This show tries too hard to take every element from popular animes and throw them into one. You got fighting robots, a power similar to Death Note, etc. and it didn't blend very well, especially with the weird art style where everyone has a pointed chin and has legs twice the size of their bodies. Not to mention the constant fan pleasing and random nip slips. Hey, I'm not one to oppose an anime tiddy but if that's all a show has to offer... come on. Half the time while watching this show all I could think was "honestly... what's even happening."
I got the same feeling throughout the entirety of Sword Art Online where I'm just constantly at a state of confusion wondering if I accidentally clicked a parody or something because there's no way this actually aired.
If an anime gives you the same feeling as Sword Art Online... that's not a very good sign.
I'm going to watch R2 and then maybe I'll change my opinion... but so far it's only getting a 7 and I'm being very generous.
