Review of Last Hope

Last Hope (2018)
7/10
Slow burn - Getting better starting in Ep4.
8 October 2022
At first thought that it was a big mistake making leou lan as the lead character due to the way he was potrayed in the first 3 episodes as unlikelable and generic character (meh voice casting, boring characterisation and design). Then my whole view on him changed entirely as the story progressed. Most of the side characters were seemingly uninteresting at first as well especially the mayor/princess, secretary jay, gren, doug and cain. But they grew on me as i get to know more about them (still hating gren tho). Great character development story for all of them. Amazing villains. I was invested on Queenie since the very 1st episode and she didnt disappoint later in the series. Not a big fan of robot/ transformers-esque animation especially in this anime these transformation looks lame and very outdated and the plot was pretty generic - science experiment went wrong storyline. But kinda like it on the heavy use of the dark tone/colors throughout the anime. Some action scenes were very messy and childish. Heavy influences on chinese cultures and lifestyle. Great opening and ending songs - giving me a very 2010s pop rock vibe. The ending was rushed (like all animes out there). Cheesy on the use of the 'family article'. Overall not a fan of the character designs and voice castings. Very multiverse of madness vibe. Highly recommended.
