The story was imaginative, it was creative, but there was too much, and the motivations for some of the characters felt flimsy. Cutthroat, Doctor, the Executioners, even Courier. In the end<Spoiler> They all die, die to save two random children that really change nothing in the grand scheme of things. The previous statement might be callous, but I can't help but think for their freedom how many people died and suffered just so they can live, it doesn't help that they seemed unlikable(at least to me).
The action is fluid and the music hits very well. The art is clean and is visually pleasing. It's not hard to see, though I wish it was uncensored but what can you do? My grievances come from my own personal biases that the blood shed was not worth it.. Though from an outside perspective the show's only fault would be that the story is rushed and many interesting characters/plot points left undeveloped. To make up for that point there was quite a bit of exposition dumping.
So if I didn't have a bias I'd give it an 8, but I do so a 7. The messages that the story wanted to send were clear , but the means it took to get their were stomach turning. I just can't be happy with it.
TLDR; Has all the elements I would like, but still not my cup of tea
