This story was a classic Priest novel type, but with an interesting modern twist. I'm invested! I want to know what happens next and get more into the details of the past of the two main characters and how they're connected.
Art:
The animation is quite nice for CG, and the faces are stylized in a unique way. The backgrounds are beautiful.
Sound:
Good! Well fit, nice OP/ED.
Character:
I saw another review describe it as classic red/blue characters, but I don't /entirely/ agree. It definitely has some vibes in that direction, but red ends up being smarter than your average red, and blue ends up being, uh, pointier than your average blue. There is also a distinct vibe of there being more and more to uncover about both of them, each time we learn something new.
Also...I kind of love the various random side characters, particularly the boss and the various team members. Even the villain characters were pretty interesting, and often didn't go the way I expected.
Enjoyment:
Honestly, my recommendation is not to get too deep into danmei novels if you want to enjoy the anime adaptation. I keep seeing people complain about adaptations being not faithful enough, or rushing the pacing when compared to the book. The thing is, if you haven't read the book or don't have a deep attachment to exactly how things are there, then the series tend to be quite enjoyable.
While there's not much by way of outright romance, this was likely never intended to be romance-focused anyway. Priest tends to write more story-focused novels, rather than specifically romances. The important thing here is that the two main characters have a lot of interesting tension and history and interactions, which is imo is better for establishing a pairing people will enjoy than any hand-holding/kissing scenes. I was actually pretty invested in these two by the end of S1, but then again my romantic sensibilities are a bit skewed away from typical romance elements.
Overall, I really liked this show, and my wife liked it even more! Hoping to see a season 2 announced at some point.
