Opinión de Flooh-9

The show reaaaally wants to be for adults. To the point where every third word is a swear or a sex joke. I don't have any problem with such stuff if done tastefully, but this pilot is everything but tasteful with it. I mean, there are no, like, porno scenes, come on, but, as the headline suggests, it's done in a very immature, annoying and simply unnatural way. It's not funny, it doesn't flow well, and is simply off-putting. Kinda similar with the gore, it does feel weird and out of place to me. Like, it's mostly for shock value, not for actual impact: it's not for emotion, it doesn't add much to the world building or character presentation (I already know they're devils and that they suck), and it's also low-key played out for the laughs. I don't know, it just feels unnatural.

And so does the song. It's also, like, weird. I like musicals, but only if the songs feel natural and integral to the story. It feels really weird for bounty hunters to sing so casually and basically carelessly, almost laughing out loud, about something that is quite obviously risky and heavy. I know they're devils, but if you want them to be evil and take that evilness seriously, maybe don't make a song where they're just being idiots? I can't explain it well, but it just doesn't feel right.

So, why not 1/10? Well, the animation is quite amazing, and it can't be denied. I personally do like the character designs, colouring is good, eyes glow very pleasantly and satisfyingly, it's fluid, it's colourful, it has a nice palette, the posing is good, framing is as it should be, and generally it's just simply good animation.

I find the world building quite creative, too. Their bodies being representation of the sins they committed when they were alive is nice. The pilot doesn't present too much of the world building (I think?), but what is there, is pretty good. Not every series has to have as much lore as, idk, the gaslight district or freaking the lord of the rings (that one is thick).

Besides, a few jokes at the beginning actually landed. Like, the first 2 minutes of the thing were actually good. It's just that it gets kinda unwatchable at the 6 minutes mark or so.

So, overall, there are definitely things to appreciate, and there are people who may like the bounty hunters premise (for me it's... fine, but doesn't win me over unless there's substance added to it, and there isn't), but the pilot is rather... bad. It's done in an untasteful and seemingly poorly thought-out way.
