Make My Day is absolutely terrible start to finish. I see reviews saying they liked the first two episodes, but those suck as well, though I think I know what they're talking about. So let's get down what I dislike about this series.
Firstly, the animation is in my opinion hideous. I get that this color scheme and these textures might appeal to some, but not to me. But even if you don't find it ugly, the movements just suck.
Secondly, the main character is a generic MC underdog that we're supposed to root for as he magically gets super competent. This trope annoys me to no end. But what makes it ten times worse here to the point of causing me physical pain is that his voice actor sounds constantly out of breath, and he is talking, or panting all the time.
Which brings me to the third point. The dialogue doesn't flow at all. They talk for what seems to be forever in the middle of every scene, slow and repetitive to the point of stating the same line three times.
On that note, the pacing absolutely sucks. The first two episodes are very fast-paced and have a lot of large-scale plot points, which is probably why some reviewers consider it good, but to me it went too fast. They kill off the entire prison and hometown like it's no big deal. The subsequent episodes in the middle and end move so slow due to the slow, long dialogues and largely feature only the established ten or so characters. It's really boring.
And to top it all off, there was barely any creativity here. The Swarm have the design of generic real-life bugs, the only twist is that they blow up. The company is barely developed and what little we get to know of them makes them seem like the bad guys in Avatar, except that they're not the main villains because the bugs want unobtanium... I mean sig. The planet has only very basic biomes/landscapes, no other fauna than the swarm, and the only flora shows up for one minute in the end.
