The concept is already kind of off whack. In the future, gangs can only settle disputes by Xtreme Baseball, and any other form of disputes will trigger some bots to noscope your ass from across the alleyway or something. Even worse, the story doesnt really do any worldbuilding, it just tosses you things cause "its like that".
The art is reminiscent of Danganronpa, and I dig it, but the animation is clear where there is and isnt budget. Early on they spend alot on VFX for the high tension action scenes to hook in the viewers, but the quality just evaporates not even halfway through the season. Heck, the sound balancing is off whack, there are parts where the voice and music are equally loud, making it difficult to hear what the characters are actually saying. The SFX in certain parts is also very misplaced.
Most of the characters are kind of just plain annoying, and there is no real development in their characters since the start. Some are slightly more interesting, but even ruffians change over time. While Tribes are supposedly built up as some "major power" in the synopsis, it never felt that way at all. The characters all feel like theyre playing around at an after school club, hoping to get into the big leagues and beat actual delinquents with kindness and friendship.
