This series makes jump-the-shark anime seem logical by comparison. It is extremely gory, so viewers be warned. Beyond that... this is just unbelievably absurd. People surviving several-story falls that should flatten them like a pancake. People outrunning creatures obviously far more powerful and faster... and managing to miraculously give them the slip. People surviving grave injuries that should instantly kill them. "Heroes" that can't seem to do anything right. This is just beyond-bad writing.
The extreme gore is within theme, but excessive (primarily monsters smashing and slashing and stomping and eating and impaling people). Then we have typical gratuitous boobage ( both cleavage and under-boob), even on a woman who is supposed to be in an authorative high-command military position. While this is not new to anime (or any genre of film-making), in this case it just adds to the absurdity of this series.
I know there are gore junkies out there and fanboys who will drool over boobs, regardless of the setting. There are also those who will cry, "It's anime! Anything goes!"... and surely that has proved to be true over the decades. But this show is just so incredibly "grammar school writing" that I stopped about episode 6 before it managed to lower my I. Q. There are far better shows out there. I gave this sufficient chance to redeem itself, but the further it went the stupider it got. Some story writers and directors are just seriously messed up.
