High-Rise Invasion

It is a good series when you turn your brain of and want an easy watch. Dont expect a series with an insane plot or amazing characters. The series itself on the other hand is internally consistent and the animation is great. Its only lacking a bit in the plot and character department

Like the headline states has a lot of potential the show overall plot and setup is good but it feels like they didn't know if they wanted to be a serious horror or a kids show honestly if they dial down the silly side of it then it could have been masterpiece but it was these elements that made a lot of scenes feel very cringey and overall took away the horror feel all together throughout the show. Overall I hope it ends up with a second season just hopefully they fix those issues when or if they get a second season.

This anime is unexceptional in any way but is passable fare. Given the rules of this fantasy world, everything is consistent. The characters are engaging but somewhat shallow. Don't expect any backstory or explanation for why the characters find themselves in the situation that they find themselves. The pacing is consistent enough to keep you engaged but season one ends unsatisfactorily, just like it was just another episode with lots of action but little consistent direction. The music track is consistent with the anime quality which is a little lower than the Japanese norm. Still overall, a great time waster if there's nothing else on.... And the girls are cute. North Americans will be the most likely to find engagement as there a no plot challenges, requirements to think or reflect, and little drama, in spite of the carnage. Just good old fashioned action not requiring an explanation or reason for being.

The first 7-8 episodes felt like a video game tutorial. A lot of exposition and a lot of rules and world building. After that it transitions more towards character development and that is when the story gets going. This show is nothing special yet but it could become pretty good in the next couple of seasons. Worth a watch if you dont have anything else.

The plot is quite interesting with a twisted battle-royale setup, however most of the main characters have very cringe behaviour, a few examples are: Explaining every detail in an action before doing it, girls acting weak and useless (your typical anime girl),very silly and irrational behaviour.

The random panty shots, are not too disturbing, however the characters always has to comment on it, which makes it very silly..
