The first episode introduced how the characters were contemporized in a post-Berlin Wall era, much like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' "Day of the Dumpster."
The second episode sorta annoys me as it completely took away from the first episode without building up the MESS threat for me to feel pulled away. Albeit, how MESS was portrayed was well... MESSY.
The third episode goes from where the second episode left off trying to figure out what MESS is up to. The Milk: Social Media and Corporations as bad guys controlling people?
I never bought why MESS was supposed to be a bad guy other than that the leader said so. So much for that.
In the fourth episode, Crowds is apparently a multiplying working ability. A little bit like not-so-nanotech. A monster attacks Rui. I wish I knew more about her, other than that she herself is a bit manipulative.
Overall, the show has a lot of ideas, but does not really do anything with them. It's not an action anime, it's not a philosophical anime, it's not a well written anime. I really do not see why there is so much appeal from this series from Kotaku and other anime news sites.
Why is this even an anime? Most of the time, the show is just a bunch of characters talking about nothing interesting and doing stupid things!
