The anime is amazing, the message it brings, the plot, the criticism in it, it's a very inteligent anime, well developted one for a short serie. I always wanted to see a direct action anarchist anime, because I feel japanese culture is so reactionary... It brings a lot of reflection and is not reactionary as I was expecting. Again we have an anime like Death Note, where there's not an clear enemy, like in a maniqueist heroic logic. [SPOILER] We have the ones who puts bombs being the main characters, what was amazing, and then the enemy they fight is the police (A.C.A.B!!! <3 ), and the game is between the police, the detective, the anarchists genius boys, and then appear another genius, that's another victim of the system as the Sphinx group. That was all amazing and they kept the expectation all the serie along.
What is the thing that I think that ruined the anime: the misoginists tropes. I was all happy seeing an anime about bombing the government and fucking the system, and then there appear some heterosexual romantic shit, and an enemy who is a bitch that works with the police of USA, and what happened about all the exciting beggining of the anime?
I was very disappointed at how they showed the few women characters. I saw some sexist fanservice happening, and I think inteligent animes don't need this shit. And the Lisa character we don't get to know. She is portrayed very desempowered, fragile, and stupid, and she always ruin the plan. This sucks, we get to hate the women characters. Why don't they develop or show her story, make her stronger? She is portraied cleaning and doing housework while the genius boys do hacking, programing and build bombs...

But then they show a genius woman. But she is a bitch who works with the enemy but she is a lunatic who doesn't care and wants only to play, almost a psychopath. And what? She was a intererting character, but we don't get to know her story unfortunately. The women characters just appear to annoy, fanservice or to die without explanation or motive. She was a baddass who just did all that to kiss the boy and they suicide. WTF? When will Japan awake from this patriarchal nightmare? I am ashamed of them since I am a fan of anime! Why don't they grow politically on representation debate??
Also the Five, even if she was intriguing, why she has that Femme Fatale look? Why not a tomboy as she was when a child? She was showed as a child all the anime but we know nothing about her at the end.

I just wished there was a manga serie that I could read the story better developted.
