From the beginning of the series it is made clear that this anime will be slow, perhaps a little more than other "slice of life", and that what sets it apart is the "seriousness" with which the main story is taken.
Which is basically having an independent company with a low budget. Of course, this company is not ordinary, since its job consists of exterminating pests, pests in the form of Kaijus, with bad CGI, that forced the inhabitants of an island to abandon their homes.
The main characters have a good design along with their well-defined personalities and, in principle, different motivations that make us ignore
...
how slow the chapters can be in favor of knowing more about them.
The Mechas are...Rustic and of course, the world seems to be a modern Japan, so the technology together with the company's money does not give more than realistic robots, with the mixed appearance of an excavator and the load lifters seen in works like alien.
But these designs change as the budget increases, leaving those first models for something more similar to what "Tsubame Industries" has shown us with its "Archax" model not long ago.
The plot will advance as the motivations of the members of the company are explored and more about the origin of these Kaijus are discovered.
In summary:
The anime is slow and relaxing, with a plot that, although not original, is rarely seen, with a good cast of characters and a world in which it is easy to get involved.
The CGI seen in the monsters is one of the worst I've seen in a while but the 2D animation, for my taste, is on point.
And until Chapter 10, I can say that it promises, I don't think there is any unexpected revelation or plot that will blow our minds, but if there is something that it will have, it is a love and respect for the work and its characters that is always a joy to see.
Final chapter, definitely a great series, with a closing open to more but that probably won't happen. In the end they used all the characters in the company without less valuing their roles and personalities, and even showing a little, not much, of growth for the youngest members of the company.
As I had written at the time, the respect and affection you have for the characters and the world in which they find themselves brings joy.
