Story 6/10

FULL DISCLOSURE I did not watch episodes 11-18 for reasons I will elaborate on but please do not think I'm saying anything about those specific episodes - good or bad - because I don't know about their quality and I can only explain why I didn't watch them.

The story was weird in my opinion, like they couldn't quite decide on what they wanted to do. Personally I thought it started out really cute with the idea of him becoming a hero in his own way, even if he does'nt have super powers... and then a few episodes later aliens show up. It took me a little while to adjust to the aliens because I was all geared up for some Slice of Life/Action hybrid that would've been unique. However, after the aliens show up and I got all used to aliens, then like twelve new characters are introduced and they go into space (or at the very least into a spaceship, again I paused watching here). This was my limit on ridiculous plot-switching. At that point I was kind of thinking "just pick something and stick with it wouldja?!""

HOWEVER, episode 19 - 22 were so captivating and I highly suggest that if you are like me and can't take the space wars stuff, just skip to 18 and you miss no information that is pertinent to the remaining episodes. Trust me. The element of real crime pulled me back to the first few episodes where a regular guy is playing super hero, which is what drew me in in the first place.

Art 6/10

Pretty standard in my opinion. Better than a lot of cheap looking anime and better than a lot of the new stuff out. If anything it just looks natural, not too stylistic, not too cheap which I'm just fine with. The animation was pretty fluid and detailed which I also appreciated but I wouldn't say that its something the anime should be known for.

Sound 5/10

The opening was okay and aside from that the sound was normal. Not a stunning soundtrack or memorable voice actors in my opinion but sound is pretty hard for me to grade because I'm not always readily looking for it.

Character 7/10

Definitely well designed but also definitely had some flaws. The police officer had a lot of flaws actually. In a way he wasted his own redemption arc that the protagonist literally risked his life for and the ending kind of brushed it off like "yep he completely ignored that important life lesson". It's hard to grade the protagonist because of the gap of episodes I didn't watch. I thought he was cute though, very eccentric and funny. The other characters I remember being kind of one dimensional in the sense that yeah they were fine but there wasn't a lot to them.

Enjoyment 7/10

I'm thinking of rewatching it again just to see if my enjoyment of it changes it at. Sometimes with series like this you'll find its better the second time through when you can get a fresh look at it. At the moment, my opinion is that it was fine. I didn't want to gouge my eyes out and I wouldn't put it in a frame.

Overall 6/10

What can I say that hasn't already been said. Its a swing or a miss but I definitely think its worth trying out, even if its just one or two episodes
