Watching this reminded me of another ONA Netlfix released last year called, GREAT PRETENDER. Very similar art style, very similar pacing, very similar premise. A bunch of obscure, no connection criminals work together to outsmart some of the most powerful and dangerous people in their world. The only difference with this one is it that it superpowered based. That foundation definitely gives it its own unique spin that makes it entertaining. Something I noticed with a lot of animated "super hero" shows is that they do not hold back on the gore and this is no exception. In some scenes it heightens the mood, in other scenes it seems like too much but the sense of thrill is not lost. I honestly thought the beginning of this was very standard or basic and a bit boring but after the main character drops his friends for the chance at something better the story picks up and takes you along on a ride worth being on. I thought that the powers in this were definitely different and unique fitting the story's circumstances but not too obscure to where you don't think anything they are doing is out of this world or unrealistic. I did find the lack of initial thought into the development of the villains was disappointing but then I later realized it was not needed. If the story was longer then maybe but it was short and to the point. The story is not overally original, the development is not overly deep but this series is relatable and it brings a certain nostalgia if you grew up on super heroes like I did. Definitely worth watching
