This show SCREAMS wasted potential. The animation is crisp, and the movements feel super real. Unfortunately, this is where my praise ends. I wish I could say otherwise, I really do. Two dimensional characters, horrible pacing, and flaccid sound design have left me confused as to why this show even exists.
I heard so many stock sound effects that it felt like I was playing happy wheels. You can never tell what a given character is going to do because you have no idea who they are past their established motivation. You never really get to find out anything about a character that isn't surface
