Story: Each episode is a standalone mission where protagonist Yu Ominae gets sent out to stop some over the top anime villain from trying get their hands on the Ancient Relic of the Episode. Yu usually has someone helping him out, such as a French Bishonen Werewolf or a Greedy Treasure Thief, but most of them only show up in only one episode so far save for the Thief girl Yoshino, who pops up in 3 and 6.
Characters: Yu is the only recurring character with any sort of characterization/development, most of his allies are only given one episode of screentime, but leaving you wanting to know them more than what we are given. Only a few other characters I can recall were Colonel MacDougal from Ep 2 for how entertainy he was, even if he wasn't as creepy as in the 90's film. And Lieutenant Colonel Maria Clemente in Ep 4 since she managed to have some form of a character arc in the only episode she appears in. Many of the supporting cast fail to leave some form of impression for me and a lot of viewers and I found that tsundere schoolgirl Hatsuho to be pretty obnoxious.
Animation: I was weirded out by it at 1st for being this hybrid 2D-3D mix, but the results turn out alright and the action scenes do get better later on.
Music: Lot of Techno music playing in the background during actions. And I did find myself jamming to the OP and ED themes done by Taisei Iwasaki.
Voice Acting: I have only seen the English Dub, but the VAs do a pretty competent job in their roles. Kyle McCarley as Yu in particular is a standout. Though it did had some repeat castings like Kaiji Tang voicing 3 different characters for example.
In Conclusion, the show is most likely worth watching for the action scenes, science technobabble, and might have a favorite voice actor involved. But the series really needs to evolve past it's episodic nature if it can be able to stand out more than what we are given. Especially since I want a Project ARMS remake to be greenlighted since the manga creator also worked on that.
