Critical Review Summary

“I love the production. They skipped the OP and ED on a lot of episodes, so they can have more story. They literally paid the TV channels to NOT run ads during the episode... It's absolutely wild.” YouTube · G.O.T Games · 2 years ago

Critics on myReviewer note the sharp, smooth animation and impressive action sequences that differentiate it from standard seasonal anime.
