Was anime always this bad...?
I watched anime when I was in middle school and I put this on every Saturday night, and.... it's terrible. It feels like a poor man's attempt at writing a Call of Duty campaign (replace Makarov with Skinner) but it's so weeb-ish.
Every episode is essentially -mission briefing -villain of the week that's somehow connected to the big bad (just like Call of Duty) -2d flat character making 2d flat jokes -the choppiest fight scenes ever -villain of the week losing for being a misogynist and giving info that leads to the next mission.
It's like when you go to anime move in theater and all the nerds laugh at unfunny jokes, this is what watching this feels like.
I was more of an Outlaw Star than Cowboy Bebop fan anyway.
I would give it a 5, but I like Eleina.
Edit I'm watching the cult episode. Holy Jesus.... It's like the writers watched "Top 10 scary cults" vid on YouTube and wrote characters based on it.
It's like someone gave the writers the cult episode from the simpsons family guy South Park and king of the hill and told them to give their own modern take on it.
Except there's no modern take and they somehow made the the take more flat and outdated then something from the 90s and a cartoon.
