How can you be a "career police inspector" at age 23? Most 23-year-olds are rookies at that point, if they've even made inspector at all. A 25-year-old as a "Senior law firm partner" also stretches credibility past the breaking point.

But hey, the concept looks neat so I'll play along.

Key: It's that whole shonen prodigy cliche.

many or most animes take real liberty with reality and it mainly dose not hurt the anime in question.

I enjoy the whole suspended reality bits, though if one takes into consideration at early stages many folks in fields were considered major contributors by a much early age in the past.

Those young folks would have been considered masters for their time.

It's more like most anime take liberty with ages and always reduce the age of characters by a decade from what they should be, like Char and Bright both being 19 in Gundam 0079. Or there's also Spike from Bebop is supposed to be world weary, wise, experienced, veteran ex-mafia at 27, while Cranky Retired Ancient Old Man Jet is all of 36. Basically, age means shit.

Guns? Explosions? Girls with pigtails?

Yep. Definitely an Umetsu work.

Certainly gives me a "Mezzo" type vibe. I'm looking forward to it. Very Happy

As good as this show looks, Galilei Donna's increasing awfulness is putting a damper on my expectations. I hope Umetsu gets the tone right this time.

Just from the visuals, I'd have to imagine Umetsu has more personal creative control on WB. So hopefully it'll be much like Mezzo.

In anime land, everyone starts on their career path (mecha pilot, baseball player, chef, governor, etc) at 15. I mean, Asuka Jr. was a police detective in middle school in Saint Tail Smile

So assume they've been doing this for at least 8 years already.

A hack how? That sounds like GATSU-speak for "I don't like it, and I'm so smart, so mine is the only opinion that should ever matter to anyone else."

More like the only creative thing he's been involved in is Robot Carnival, and he's been fairly lazy since then.
