Tokyo Esp from the first episode was set up to be nothing more than a mediocre take on X-Men.

Story: 3
The plot is extremely cliché and straight-forward: there are a group of humans with special abilities who take advantage of their power to take over the world, and there is the protagonists, who also happen to have special abilities who are going to use their abilities who take down the bad guys.
The first episode shows the peak of the show to try and grasp the viewers to see what's to come, but with this it meant that the show became very predictable to the viewer, and ... made it a lucklustre experience.

Art & Animation: 5
The art was average at best. The character designs were very straight forward but i didn't feel like anything particularly stood out. The animation was fluid and i didn't notice any hiccups in it.

Sound: 6
The only thing which i think stood out on the OST, was the ending theme 'Kyuusei Argyros' as it was fact paced, and so it fit in well with the show. The opening theme however i thought was very out of place as it was too happy go lucky, which really wasn't the vibe of the show.

Characters : 1
This has to be the biggest thing wrong with this show and the reason why i began to resent it.
Rinka and Azuma are meant to be the protagonists , and to see them suffer so much and remain so helpless in unbearable. I mean they are unable to fend for themselves for the majority of the show and constantly get the crap beaten out of them.
All of the other characters seem very flat and one dimensional. The Professor was the only antagonist who explained their motives, and seemed justified.

Enjoyment: 2
I feel like i wasted several hours i'll never get back after watching this show. Everything was a mess and all over the place and i never grew to care for any of the characters at all.

Overall: 3

I feel like i'm being too nice giving this a 3 as it was a train-wreck from start to finish.

If you're thinking of watching this show, please don't bother. Just go and watch the original X-Men series instead, which is one hundred times better than this.
