Excuse me. Pretty dudes talking.

Impressions:

I feel like it's a pretty safe metric to judge supposed action shows based on how much of their runtime is spent on scenes where dudes impassively sit at a table, having a talk. It's a good metric for all shows, mind you, since that generally is a sign that characters are not actually doing anything, and by extension, not a whole lot is going on. For action shows though, it's pretty damning. We even start with a (very underanimated) little special ops scene, but that gives way to the last 18 minutes of the episode which is… well, dudes impassively sitting around tables, having a chat. The one little bit of 'fight' is a quite literal random punk who wanders in to beat up a cripple so the protagonist can quite literally flex on him. In the laziest way possible. He is simply so strong that he is invulnerable, and then throws him into a car. That's literally all of the action in the final eighteen minutes of the episode. Love Hina had more action than that, for Zeus's sake.

So not a good start. Not an interesting start. Not an exciting start. Not any kind of adjective that you would hope to see in front of an action show's description start. I guess at least it wasn't as obnoxiously zany as the promos were advertising, but instead, it filled that time with dudes dispassionately having a chatsie as they stared blankly into space. Another Korea-Crunchyroll success story, clearly.
