There isn't enough time to grow attached to the characters. I believe this is more of a fault from Netflix, rather than the writers. Netflix bought too few episodes so the writers had to work around it. Towards the end of the season, our MC says "we're family" to his fellow pilots and while it was a sweet moment, it felt kind of unearned. Why? Because we've barely seen these characters properly interact. In one episode, our MC gets his Robo and one of the pilots is like "he hasn't earned it like the rest of us" and she clearly holds some sort of resentment. By the next episode, they're all chill with each other. This show should be like...twice as long. I enjoyed the cute character interactions but there were too few so their bonds don't feel fully developed. The dynamics between characters who've already known each other is smart and enjoyable but between new ones, that could use work. Aside from that relatively small criticism, I really like the story and animation. The character and monster designs are very aesthetically pleasing and perfectly fit this story. It took an episode before i liked the Robo designs and they steadily grew on me throughout. I think the crew involved has done a good job so i'm excited for the next season. The concepts and execution are done well for the most part so i'd suggest this.

I'm really loving this show. I got the trailer recommended to me but decided to go in blind. I've watched the 4 episodes that have been released so far and it's really appealing. The art style and animation are very aesthetically pleasing and the humor is up my alley. I will admit i was worried this would be another generic adult cartoon but i feel like the humor is quite fresh. It isn't some overly negative or nihilistic drag and embraces the humor of its concept. I've seen people complain about the "satanic" elements but that just feels silly. Im worried this show won't make it to a second season, given how animation is treated nowadays. ESPECIALLY adult animation. The average consumer writes original shows off then complains when more unoriginal content is pushed out. I'd say give this a shot. Anna Drezen and her crew are doing good work. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. It's a shame it's only 10 episodes though. Fingers crossed for a second season. If not, i'll await future works from anyone in this crew.
