I honestly didn’t know exactly what to expect going into this show, other than a few recommendations I had no info on it. Overall, it’s a weird comedy (similar to abridged anime) hidden in the shell of a serious and gritty show.
I found the concept of the story actually pretty interesting. I wish it was longer than 5 episodes so it could get more in detail but for 5 episodes there’s quite a bit. The characters obviously couldn’t have a whole lot of development (a few did have a good amount of backstory), but that’s almost the point. It’s a humorous action show. Afro shows almost no emotion, in fact he only has like 10 lines in the whole show.
Conclusion: I don’t think the writers were trying to make super deep characters (besides Jinno). They were trying to make a semi serious, semi humorous action show with an interesting story concept. They succeeded at this. That’s not even mentioning the amazing art and sometimes amazing soundtrack. So if you have 2:30 hours to spare, give the show a try. If you’re looking for something super serious or innocent comedy, then don’t watch this.
