Active Raid · review
So I liked this show a lot, but it's a niche kind of show. You'll either love it or think it's mediocre at best. If there's any way to describe this show without specific examples, I'd have to say it's a well executed show full of tropes that we all want to see more of. It's really detailed at some points in regards to jargon, but kind of runs over others. It doesn't really focus on just one character, it focuses on the ensemble as a whole. every character gets an episode or two to them self, except for like, that maintenance guy, but whatevs. It has alot going on, and doesn't really spend too much time on any one theme or subject, which may throw you off, but they are done rather well. It's a good mix, but the fact that it's a mix may not suit your palette.
For the most part, the earlier episodes all wrap up their stories while the later ones kind of weave together a bigger story that was slowly creeping up.
The backing music was pretty good at times, and meh the rest. The OP had a few good points but was pretty meh, and the ED was forgettable.
Art was really well done, good CGI blend for action, but really nothing innovative or breathtaking. cool powersuits though. I'm a sucker for those and mecha.
TL;DR
Like Tiger and Bunny, if they were actually cops and not on TV.
