Before I say why I didn't like these anime let me say about the things I liked. First of all the protagonist. I dont know if it's only me but I can't stand it if the protagonist is pathetic and weak. It makes me feel like good guys always have bad things happening to them. Luckily this isn't the case this time. Jin Mo-Ri's jolly attitude with his "Do whatever you want" motto was something different and I liked that. The close quarters fights where they go out all "hand on hand combat style" was good and the animations of those scenes were good too. Comedy wasn't anything special but I had some chuckles here and there.

I did not like the way they animated the nose and the ears. At first, they stuck out like a sore thumb to me. But to be honest midway through the anime I stopped noticing it so that didn't bug for long. But I still wish they animated the character differently.

The way this show was marketed I had high expectations for the fight scenes. I was thinking it's all going to be all hand on hand mixed martial art style fights. And If you are going into the anime with the same mindset you are going to be disappointed. Because there are more "stand using, Lazer flashing, air combat" than actual martial art. The action scenes were nice though but its nothing like the way it was marketed. Nothing about the fight scene blew me away. So it was ok at best.

The thing I hate most about this anime is that they invest so much time into making the villain look so bad and mean and then don't give a satisfying conclusion to it. They gave him a sob backstory and all the bad things he did suddenly doesn't matter. I mean come on...In anime that has so many bloody violent scenes, why would anyone be so "buddy buddy" with the villain? I wanted to see the villain suffer more, I wanted to see the revenge that would make him feel what his victims had to go through. This jolly good ending to the villain disintegrating while having a smile on his face really pissed me off. It felt like all the characters that had to suffer because of him didn't matter at all.

They didn't put enough effort into the supporting characters. I just couldn't empathize with them. and they would put a sob backstory behind all the opponents when they were about to lose. That didn't worked out well. All I was thinking during those flashbacks was how much I dont care.

And lastly, there were just too many mysteries left undiscovered. To me, it felt like the anime was screaming go read the source material. As an anime-only watcher, I hate it when an anime does that. And unfortunately it is very common.
