it's .. good. it's unique. it's really an experience.
the only downside is lisa character development and relationship. twelve took a liking to her too quickly, or rather the thought behind his action needs to be told. i don't mind lisa joins in but twelve's and nine's thoughts and opinions needs to be elaborated more to make their connection more plausible.
that episode when lisa just straight out get out of the hideout and got caught, like wtf. lisa is stupid. but at the same time given her mental state it's forgiven.
five really gets on your nerve shows a good character writing. i think. if you think about it, the fact that they are experimental subject kids makes them get away with any absurd action because they are just weird like that.
i mean 2 people, nine and twelve, are able to execute terror plan, make bomb, hack the police, ride like a moto gp racer, steal a fucking nuke, how in god's name.
yeah realism just isn't this anime's forte.
with that said, i didn't think too much about this until i write this review. i just enjoyed it, with the assumption that they are somehow very capable.
the pacing is good, they avoid unnecessary details, how do i know? because i didn't notice anything wrong, except above.
the story is great.
shibazaki is goated, the police division i thought will go againt him but nope they solid they goated also, fat archive guy goated,
nine, twelve goated
lisa is an interesting entity
five stinky
the ending, the climax is wow. atomic bomb just for the world to notice damn, they died by us army so sad, shibazaki got to shed a light on their story, lisa being someone that gave twelve sense of belonging, holy.
the only way i could rate this anime less is by comparison with similar anime.
the english voice acting is horrendous except the blonde fbi.
