I initially was exited to see it, the premise was promising, a somewhat supernatural mystery with a cool vigilante guy. In addition to the seemingly great fight scenes. However, this very quickly was dropped to focus an a half-assed story that had me checking every five minutes if I accidentally skipped to the second season. B: the beginning felt that a mystery means not letting the audience know anything about the world or the characters until the very end, having the reveal be incurably boring having me wish that they let me just imagine my own ending as any monkey with a keyboard can come up with a better one.
the show seemed like it couldn't decide to focus on the slightly better serial killer plot line or the brain dead secret soldier plot line. Not to mention that the only thing connecting them was a character tangentially relating them.
When writing the show someone accidentally picked up a book on creating the perfect blank slate character and made that the MC. I cannot for the life of me tell you one interesting detail about him other than his powers being a cool sword limb.
The only part I could enjoy was when Kokuu fought Izanami, I would not be surprised if the entire budget was sunk into that one scene and the janitor for the studio was left to finish this mess.
