This series sums up why I dropped Future Diary after 12 episodes. Rin? Not feeling her or her need to verbalize her desire to kill our main character Eiji every episode. Eiji is just as one dimensional with his I must save my sister schtick. That's minor compared my other issue of the wishes. This is a clever and interesting means of having people with super powers battle other people with super powers. But that's what it becomes. While powers like telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, domination, clairvoyance and immortality make sense several others in this series don't (I get the One Punch Man thing but still a giant stone golem?). Maybe I was expecting something more of a psychological battle like Death Note or something more subtle like Bakemonogatari. What I got was an even more pointless version of Future Diary. At least in Future Diary they were motivated to kill each other. In Big Order it seems like the curved line to super powered battles. But there's one other thing I wanna knock this series for. Eiji's "order" and it's inconsistencies; stops ICBM with air pressure, can't stop a girl with a knife. Couldn't he just dominate every single person he encountered until he ruled the world? At least Japan? It would solve his everybody knows he destroyed the world problem. It's like he's all powerful but has never heard those words before so he makes it up as he goes along. So many scenarios where one would assume he could simply dominate his way out of and deus ex machina shows up. I'll give it high marks in every other category, the art is great the sound is good but the characters and story were just mediocre. And those are the two most important categories to me. Luckily it's only ten episodes, because anymore would have felt like torture
