i would say the biggest issue this series has is everything related to Botica. The adventure with Billy is great, the plot of Botica is meh but The tone shift is really jarring and clash massively with everything else. Also the transitions are bad. Everytime it cuts back to Botica it doesn't feels organic and you can't distinguish the flahback from the part in current time...
Also at first the botica story was done only when Sam slept, which meant it was her dreaming about it (Kasey said it too) but the POV wasn't hers. They showed you parts of the story she couldn't have ... seen since she wasn't there... So how exactly is it still part of her dream, and you can't say it wasn't a part of it from the begining since everytime we cutted bat to it she was knocked out. The series even did 10 seconds cut to present events just to have her be knocked out again and get back to the Botica story.
Also at the end they completely abandon that idea and just cutted to Botica without any warning. The clash of tones is so jarring that even the music shift from jazzy to sinister and it really doesn't fit. Even the present stuff starts not being great at some point... Episode 4 in a nutshell : Billy is stupid and even while being literaly 1 meter away from Nine can't understand that the guy is here to find informations and kill someone else, not him... Even though Nine screams it... Then we have that really forced team up at the end and for a pac of beer Nine comes along with them.... That could have been funny and nice if the whole episode wasn't so damn forced.....


The design and the back ground music are great You can see the mix of different countries talent in it. There are some really nice sakuga moment (eventhough sometimes yu can't tell what's happening) and overall the animation is decent. Too bad the rest couldn't keep up.
