Cop Craft

It is too bad this anime series was not able to get a more experienced studio with a slightly bigger budget to handle it. Because let us be honest, you just do not see action scenes this bad - completely chaotic and full of maddening edits that look like someone made it during an epileptic seizure. In other words, when you lack the resources and talent to animate fluid movement, you get static shots and edits that look like they came out of a rapid fire AK-47 assault rifle, and it all looks rather monstrous. Oh, aside from the hacked up action scenes, there is also the CGI which is used on the cars, for example, and is also not something Jeoffrey wants to look at. While the rest of the show is not all a complete waste - this is an average crime drama albeit with very likable characters (led by a main double act who have good chemistry) and a suitable soundtrack. Normally, I should have enjoyed it, because these "buddy cop" thrillers where the main protagonists are sneaking around trying to solve something at least a little interesting have always been quite popular with me since I used to watch Moonlighting. However, the graphic art style and the fact that I did not find some parts (like TylCat) were not that interesting only gives me the feeling to award it 6/10, which is a shame considering how much I liked the main duo (and most of the other characters). I would have liked the second season if someone other than the gentlemen from Millepensee animation studio had been in charge of it… (2019.09.30)
