... But with enough good stuff to make it worth watching. It's stylish, has great (if sometimes oddly placed) music. The set design and period are stunning, pudding with cool and dropping with grove. I love all the little touches and details that bring a lived in feel to the world. Taken as a cheesy, campy, retro-styled action romp, it's a pretty darn fun ride. It feels like it's meant to be a camp 70s noir serial, but with modern filming technique. Tbh, the anime doesn't hold up as well as folks like to remember. But it's still good. This isn't quite as stylish as it could be, but it's still good. Where the anime felt like its episodes were built around it's score, this feels like the score was considered after the action was filmed.
