In all seriousness, at the start, it really was. However, my initial raising-an-eyebrow-out-of-confusion-and-worry feelings about the story and characters slowly faded as the story progressed and explained why the two characters were drawn to each other. Ryang-Ha and Chateau were some interesting characters that delighted me with their scenes together.
Admittedly, the beginning was a little slow but not painstakingly so. It was still fun. Once the plot did pick up some speed, it became more enjoyable to watch. And yes, the anime does leave us needing (and in my case, wanting) more, making it incomplete. It would have been better if they had finished it all in one go. Regardless, the story did well in that it got me to gasp and gape like an idiot. That’s a good sign.
The art style in the anime is so-so for me. I like it in some angles and don’t like it in others. I can cope with the character design and the animation is good enough. Furthermore, the anime is a nice blend of action, romance, and mystery with little sprinklings of comedy to mitigate the tension and intrigue.
It’s got a small cast, too. It doesn’t have a large cast that requires focus on every other character’s backstory, so that’s a bonus since you get to focus more on Ryang-Ha, Chateau, their relationship, their backstory, and the plot going forward.
If you’re looking for action that involves guns and fighting and crime, romance à la Mr and Mrs Smith (almost), then you should check this out!
