My opinion on the Story:
Plot (+0.5): I thought it was decent, not great, not super bad. It got pretty crazy towards the end. Definitely would’ve helped if we got more development in the beginning.
Characters (+0.5): The main duo was interesting; their arcs were pretty generic. Could’ve used more development, but decent enough.
Tone (+1): The tone fit with the show, Pretty serious and action-packed. Has some funny one liners here and there.
Consistency (+1): Yes, the show remained pretty consistent up until the second to last episode. Got some crazy body horror going on that surprised me. Luckily, I still found it interesting and enjoyable and not a turn-off. Explained more in the spoiler section.
Did it well? Could have done better. Since I almost dropped it, I think they didn’t do it well enough.
PERSONAL Enjoyment Factors:
Characters (like/love?) (+1): I really enjoyed the main duo. I was interested in the rest of the squad, too. Too bad they didn’t get enough screen time.
Soundtrack (OP/ED) (+0.5): I like the opening theme. The ending theme starts off iffy but I do like the guitar.
Engagement (+0.5): Because of the lack of development in the beginning, I wasn’t as engaged, leading me to almost dropping the series. I stuck with it and it got engaging, but not super engaging.
Ending (+1): I liked the ending. More in Spoiler Section.
Overall: 6
SPOILER SECTION
I wish the English dub pronounced Voomer with a ‘V’ rather than with a ‘B’ because it took me out of some scenes.
Plot: I personally liked the twist that Hans turned out to be a Voomer.
Tone: I couldn’t help but chuckle when Hans asked, “Is it true? Am I really a (B)oomer?” Obviously, the writers had no possible clue that the word ‘Boomer’ would be a meme like 20+ years later, but it makes it even funnier.
Characters: Hans and Kenji are bromance goals. When Hans asked Kenji if he knew what he really was and Kenji was like, “You’re my partner,” I was literally saying, “Aww…” It was very sweet. I also liked the ending of one episode (can’t remember which exactly) where Kenji and Kyoko go to a park and he listens to her play the violin and it’s the two of them. That was another moment where I said, “Aww…” it was very romantic.
Ending: I personally liked the creepier aspects of the ending with all the body horror and stuff. I lowkey got chills when the ‘new’ Hans came out with a gun and a red suit. Ugh, it was so sad when Kenji had to shoot Hans T^T. When I started watching I really didn’t expect the series to end with Hans dying, I thought it’d be a happy ending, but it was bittersweet.
