Silly kids show

I'm guessing 6 - 8 year old's would enjoy this. Insane overacting. Ridiculous spy gadgets. The action is very similar to 1960s Batman where characters are running around with bombs for comedy.

Unimaginative and Tedious.

This 10 episode series sort of looks like some people may have lost a wager and were forced to honor their bet. It's a totally bare-minimum effort. Most/all of the drawn-out photoplay has been copied (poorly) from other sources, and the production seems to be an end-to-end forced undertaking. The thread-bare story line (as usual, it's a world-conquest maniac planning to start with Japan) is generic. Directing is lethargic and editing is riddled with huge lapses in continuity. Fight choreography can be uncreative and is usually highly repetitive (and silly) with two stunt actors typically taking out a dozen (or more) gang members. Acting is across-the-board amateurish and uncomfortable to watch (reminiscent of watching a high school play). Then there is the subtitle mess. The viewer is forced to activate and select the text size and text background just like in the primitive "old days." Once subtitle navigation is (tediously) completed, preferences can frequently change or just disappear (within and between episodes). Subtitle synchronization is a major problem with dialog translations sometimes appearing 20-30 seconds after spoken lines! Opening and closing credits are extensive, taking many minutes to scroll, and are repeated with each and every episode (one time would seem to be enough!). They can not be automatically skipped, giving your remote's fast-forward button a real workout. Simply an embarrassment to the spy/fantasy movie genre. Viewed on Amazon Prime. WILLIAM FLANIGAN.

Ultra fun, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE type show!

Heart-stopping action, engaging storyline from the get-go, fantastic acting by the whole cast and believable as competent spies, fun characters plus marvellous side characters, well-written script, the fight scenes were wonderfully choreographed, excellent CGI work, thrilling theme music. What more could anyone possibly want from a good spy show?

Hashiba getting lost all the time is adorable. Natsume's snacking is typical of tech guy portrayal but wasn't annoying. Rei actually looked like she could kick some ass and she did.

This is a very well done series. Here's hoping there'll be more. I can't remember the last time I liked an Amazon show this much!
