What made the first episode so stunning and encapsulating was the combination of logical but room to be explored supernatural elements, mysteries that were actually mysteries, a compelling narrative that was to be followed, interesting character dynamics, and a cliffhanger ending.
However, what the rest of the show brought were plain bad 4-year old level mysteries, bland and annoying harem elements, unnecessary fanservice, boring dialogue, and a main character who has to many relations, is good at too many things, and seems to be the smartest person alive, despite being built up as an everyday guy. Its boring, unnecessary, and almost feels like an insult to the first episode, as when the supernatural elements are brought up again, its just dumb and feels like a fanfiction written by a 10 year old who liked Naruto, full of spelling mistakes and dumb powerups.
Following the stellar first episode the storyline jumps between the past and the present, where the two main leads fight some villain organization that is never explained. However, those are the decent episodes. The majority of the show takes place after the poorly written detective superpower show with these high school fangirls of his each claiming to be geniuses, when in actuality just show skin to the main character, where their detective mysteries are expertly dumb. In episode 2 he helps this girl find a lover she was looking for in the by using alien tech(that is supposed to be super secret), straight off the heels of fighting monster aliens that hijacked on a flying plane with super powers in which they fought it out to barely survive. Their company is the good guys, yet they are the bad guys, and despite trying to keep an air of reality there is literally an episode where a werewolf captures the main character, turns into a girl who is the leader of the organization, who unsurprisingly likes the main character and takes him to her lair. From there she pulls out a mini Godzilla and shows it to the main character for absolutely no reason. Following that Siesta comes in a giant Mech(which apparently America had the whole time) fully equipped with missiles ,flying powers and superpowers in which her and the Godzilla battle it out in new York, destroy half the city, and then when the battle ends in their victory, nothing on the news is mentioned and New York is back together the next day as if nothing happened. And then to top it off, he is helping a Idol girl the next episode with stalker issues.
There is very little to say about the rest as no substance is retained. The female characters are all 1 dimensional, each appealing to a different male audience as they flirt and tease the main character in different manners, and relevant for fanservice and as waifu's for only newcomers to anime. Male characters are literally nonexistent outside the first episode(Check if you want to, the only other male character outside that a villain, coincidentally the 1/6 villains that is male), and the story is boring as the main character choses all these “mysteries” for no reason, aside to move the plot forward. The comedy almost never lands, the emotional moments are bland and overused, yet they spend to much time watching them cry, letting your thoughts drift to, how did this show even get here.
Every villain is Defeated due to talk no jutsu, and the animation is absolutely appalling. This is 7 deadly sins level of appalling. The Bland and dumb 15-minute fights that end in talk no Jutsu never have any decent Choreography buildup or logic in them, and so many frames and sequences are gritting to see.
A huge disappointment. The opening is really good, the animation in the first episode good, but lazy in all the other episodes. What made the first episode so good was what made all the other episodes bad, as whatever was good in the first episode, and there was a lot, went to the opposite extreme. I can’t bring myself to watch the show, and the only reason I have completed it is to write this review. Don’t even bother watching the first episode, as good as it is.
