Gritty (for an anime) take on the intersection of worlds and the challenges faced by two very different cultures trying to co-exist.

Unintentional corruption, poverty, crime are traded between worlds among the "official" cultural exchanges and the episodes are interwoven stories highlighting some of of these challenges.

Very watchable, much better than the last few seasons of "Law and Order", but nothing ground breaking. I would happily watch a second season.

Pros:

• Cliched but well handled archetypes.
• Believable reason for the main story arc.
• Good English dubbing.
• Mostly entertaining Story.
• Reasonably good audio (background chatter where I'd typically expect silence etc.).

Cons:

• Inconsistent animation quality.
• Predictability.
• Super cliched characters.
• Overall weak storytelling.

A buddy cop series with fantasy elements, it consistently delivers the best writing anime had to offer in Summer 2019; it is no surprise that it was the work of an experienced author, as in not his first work. Alas, due to budget and time constraints, the animation quality suffers, especially in action scenes, but even gimped it remains a blast to watch. I cannot offer enough praise for the world-building: it is clearly made by people who understand American culture and how they specifically apply to this genre, and of course the fantasy world elements are similarly nuanced, from the constructed language to news headlines and or even the websites people use and how. The characterisation is always spot on, with even minor characters having more vivid colours than other series' main cast, and the interactions between them are intoxicating. In more than one case I couldn't believe these lines were written for an anime series; so starved was I for good writing. It doesn't waste your time. The pacing is rapid and everything from details to major plot twists are preferably shown rather than told to the benefit of the perceptive and loyal viewer. The cinematography is filled with 200 IQ takes up there with the best of them in Hollywood. The character design is from lolicon legend Range Murata and it shows in how (((intellectual))) Exedelica's sublime flatness is. Does not shy away from more complicated issues, such as human trafficking, war crimes, or racism. If you are to watch anything from Summer 2019, watch this. Series like this are why I'm proud to be in this fandom, or, indeed, alive.

But, ended up falling into the trap of same old, same old crime stories dressed up in the a flashy nice setting. But, even the flash didn't pay off.

This show is pretty legit. Check it out boys and girls.

Cliched storylines (set in a unique fantasy/contemporary setting though), stereotyped characters, teen-friendly ero-arousing situations, dramedy tone: sometimes quite sad, cute or funny.

Medium-upper tier production. Still uninspired and forgettable. Engaging closing theme.
