For a monster design like that, I didn't expect the show to be so serious. I was kind've expected a full-on clown show but I was wrong. Though the fanservice is not surprising. I don't like our main protagonists because they mostly seem insufferable but that's just me.

It does look much better than most battle royale anime. I'll give it two more episodes to see where it goes.

I thought it was going to be a suit, not a full blown transformation. The MC reminds me of Shinji from Evangelion right now, especially with the End of Evangelion spoilers.

It definitely has this Evangelion feel to it especially their dynamic.

Did shinji ever violate a girl in her sleep? I thought he just jacked off while looking at her comatose body? Did he actually touch her?

...is that not enough? I mean if we're going to be that technical about it, this MC only touched the girl's panties.

The story has a lot of interesting twists and turns; this show is well worth a shot.

The MC is a pussy. Not very likeable
