This has the vibe of "budget film director got new money"

Not going to lie, I picked this because I needed something new to review and thinking it'll be some netflix crap that would let me write a lengthy hate-review on here. So going off the first episode...The english dub seems fine. It IS however cartoonish with some awkward pauses like a play, for some that can be a huge turn-off

What ABSOLUTELY does my head in however is the jump-cuts every few seconds. CAN I NOT LOOK AT A SCENE FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS, EVERY FEW SECONDS BEFORE YOU CUT RIGHT BACK TO IT AGAIN? Who edited this like this?? Wtf? Just no, fire your editor pls for the love of whatever god supposedly exists

You can tell they had a budget, but it still somehow doesn't feel like the budget for this was rock bottom. Was it? It looks both cheap and expensive at the same time. How is that possible? Well it seems like the director is used to making budget movies, and got some new money to flesh out his set design and stuff, that's how I'd explain the vibe this has where it feels both "cheap and expensive" at the same time.

I love some of the set design. You can tell that they put effort into it and some of the scenes do look good and authentic. However... there's too many jump cuts, let me look at a person for more than 1 second before you cut the camera thanks.

I'm sure it's a ok show but I just couldn't go on cause of the jump cuts, shaky cam and weird delivery of the english dub lines. Stopped 10mins in. Yeah I don't think it's for me, even if I'm a sucker for the apocalyptic max mad style.
