Depressingly nihilistic, bloody, gratuitous fan service, questionable gender identities, pretentious in seriousness, and boring dialog wrapped around a paper thin story with a brother against brother duality good vs. evil but oh my gosh we ALL can be a little evil at least theme that's been done a thousand times, maybe even more.
Looks pretty though. I will say that the art style reminiscent of Ralph Bakshi is a much needed breath of fresh air to the tired anime conformity.
The highlight of the production is definitely the soundtrack, some great modular synth work by the composers, though the theme song is completely forgettable in typical modern anime fashion.
However when all is said and done, this is a teenager's idea of what "adult" means, all sensationalism with no substance. It checked all the boxes on standard anime ingredients but failed to cook them properly. A failed attempt to titillate instead of crafting a good story. This review is for the first 10 episodes inclusive. Hard pass. 3 stars.
