First out the gate... Or rather, tripped over the gate before the pistol went off and smacked their face in the dirt. If I had read a description on the preview guide, I wouldn't have bothered. Not that it's horrible, but not for me. Mobile Game adaptation, weak slapstick, random idol song- obviously a continuing gimmick.

Episode 0

Yeah, I don't think this is for me either. Looking into the future, the absolute best rating I could imagine giving this would be it just limping over line to hit Decent. Far more likely would be a So-so or Weak. I'm trying to wean myself off of mediocre offerings and this seems like a good place to test my resolve.

It's named as "Episode 0" so whatever the real series will be, it's not this. I'm not going to judge the first episode until I see it next week... which I will watch because I genuinely liked this. Too bad comedy isn't one of the listed genres because I liked the "silliness is serious business" outcome.

Fair enough. I will also give the real show a shot. I can't claim I'm going in with an open mind because I suspect I'll feel basically the same, but there's no question that sometimes Episode 0's are really misleading.

Episode 1

Turns out I didn't make it all the way through the real first episode. It's by no means terrible but I'm just not feeling it. I've certainly watched far worse but I can tell I'm not as easy-going as I was in the winter. Agent Blood- over and out.
