Tokku Hakkenshi [code:T-8] started off by exploring the events of their world. Which is very lax considering that death could be occurring around any corner. It builds up to the protagonist joining an organisation by unconventional means and being pushed to take action due to morals. The gags in the story are repetitive and in the end I personally feel no closure and no real solution for why anything is happening. But overall the action was intense which made it not terrible.
Character: 1/3
The protagonist has a special name (which is mentioned too many times) and they have a complex over it as people expect great things from him. In tense situations he is able to leave not dead due to his insane luck. He has somewhat of a personality which includes his love of 2D younger sisters and asking “why me?” while sacrificing himself for others. Most of the other characters have one liners which either support his behaviour or degrade it. One of his friends does have a segment where they struggle with waiting to be saved or taking action themselves. I wouldn’t say character development was strong but he and his friend seem to have matured.
Art: 2/2
I liked the art, I could tell characters apart and the action scenes were detailed. I really enjoyed the protagonists’ range of expression and the amount of detail in the background was very nice.
Overall I would say it’s alright as I wasn’t invested in knowing what the protagonists’ name meant. Note that the way it ended was horrible as the whole story made it seem like it was getting somewhere but never did. Personally I don’t regret reading this but I wouldn’t recommend it.
