It’s not a great sign when the first episode tells us nothing and then the second opens with a bunch of lore infodumping. They didn’t even really answer the big questions and mostly raised new ones for me (for example, where are all the nice aliens?)
The fight was flashy, but as zabadoh said, the storyboarding felt really off, and it made the action a bit hard to follow at times.
The characterization was also a little strange. I still don’t feel like I know our mains very well (except that Naomi is the type to wake a sleeping stranger just so she can ask him about his life instead of minding her own business), and the only characters I feel much attachment to are the handful of people I feel like we’re not going to see much of going forward, like the granny, the doctor, and the veteran android.
I like to give original anime the full 3 episode test but I’m already pretty checked out.
