Having never watched the anime, I went into this purely based off the trailer which caught my attention. This was simple to watch and had a lot of action packed into each episode. You can definitely see how they packed as much as they could, and each episode felt like a mini movie.
The stylistic choice of this show made this a fun weekend watch for me, and while I'm disappointed we only got 5 episodes, it has left it open to now see the friendships develop. Based on an anime, I know they'll have plenty of source material to take from, and I hope it gets renewed.
