Ideals which seemed to me like a childish and naive vision on a pirate life without even considering the truthful and dangerous risks someone has to take when doing that kind of lethal job. Instead of getting a condensed, but exciting adventure from Mister’s jail break to the planet Graceland in just three or four episodes, the writers decided to show us the most boring details, which is Mister trying to get all his crewmates while bragging on about his ridiculous ideals about the Coyote life. Not only that, this anime had a storyline, which could have fitted over a few episodes, that the writers dragged on over twelve episodes. Again this is a question I have no answer or certitude, but which I ask. As for the sudden change point of view from those girls to those men, I sometimes wonder if it wasn’t done to ensure that the male viewership wouldn’t lose interest in the show. Not only that, like other reviewers have said on the Web, I felt Mister and his friends were trying too much to be like Cowboy Bebop when they did not even had the talent or the charisma Spike and his friends had. For right the moment they appeared in their episode, the story strangely changed tone and was riddled with very bad dialogues, and scenes that made me lose respect for those characters whom I found uninteresting and incredibly stupid. thrilling, and well written, Mister and his mates were disappointing. Unlike Angelica and Chelsea, whose adventures in the first episode were great. However, I wish that their writing staff had given the same quality to their scripts for I think they did a horrible mistake when they decided to go from the two detectives (Angelica and Chelsea) point-of-view to Mister’s and his crew. So I have nothing but praises for that matter. In the end, this studio really knows how to make some great animation. Also, Ufotable, the studio responsible for all these great visuals, once again present to us their excellent visual trademark in their end credits, as the characters are animated in stop-motion instead of the usual cell animation. Now I know this comment seems rude, when you consider this series’ excellent visuals, whether in its color palettes, character designs, 3D compositing, and animation as the animators experiment with their timing to produce some excellent intervals and takes, even going to animate, on certain episodes, their characters’ mouths according to their dialogues and their syllables. A story that then became, as the episodes went on, a total failure. ![]() It’s been several years since I watched this anime and I still can’t believe how disappointed I am to have spent hours watching a series that started on a great premise a game of cat and mouse between two female detectives and a renowned space-pirate called Mister.
