Honestly, just started this one bc the MC was hot af, but OH MY GOD, WHAT A DRAG!!!
As someone who has never played the game, both world and character building are lacking in astronomical levels. You don't get to know almost any of the characters, much less their motivations. Character development??? Never heard of that. The only character that has some of that (Unika) is basically used as a stepping stone for the hero and the villain in different occasions.
I know it's a very short anime, but screentime is so poorly distributed between characters that I can barely remember everyone's names. Besides, they are so
...
irrelevant and forgettable that it's almost safe to say that they couldv'e showed up only in the last episode and it wouldn't have made almost any difference (except for the sisters protecting Ky and Dizzy, Sol shooting Sin and Johnny finding the alien's core).
Sin as a main character is so insufferable (borderline obnoxious) that it's annoying. What even is his motivation? The old "let's all be friends and live together in harmony" trope that MCs usually have is very weak. Not to mention his INSANE obsession with saving Unika and trying to convice her that humans and Gears can coexist. Like, you've BARELY known her for 5 minutes and you're already sacrificing yourself to save her? C'MON!!!
All in all, I thought it was a waste of my time. Characters are not relatable, plot is rushed and extremely poorly developed, animation is not really my cup of tea [for an anime based on a fighting game, it was absolutely lackluster - especially ep 7 with the still frames, like???????????????????]. Only thing that is worth a 2 is the soundtrack, I'm not crazy over it, but it's decent.
