Coming into Captain Laserhawk, I had little to no expectations or knowledge as to what I was getting into.
To my surprise, I was greeted to a cast that consisted of characters or references of various Ubisoft properties. (Assassin's Creed, Beyond Good and Evil, and Far Cry to name a few.) All taking place within a cyberpunk setting composed of regular humans and hybrids. (Anthropomorphic animals.) If you're familiar with the Suicide Squad, you'll have an idea of how to main story plays out. With criminals being used to combat a greater evil at the cost of their lives if needed. Though criminals in this sense are simply people that go against or don't fit in with the ideals of Eden. The corporation that controls most facets of life and the main antagonist of the series.
While the ride was fun, the pace of the plot both increases and stalls at the same time leading to an unsatisfying cliffhanger for the ending. This also leads to the characters feeling underdeveloped. Even after the majority of them being killed off in the first few episodes, the remaining few still seem a bit one dimensional.
On the technical side, I have only good things to say. The character designs are top notch and all the voice actors did a fantastic job. The music while a little sparse, pulls above it's own weight when used.
Overall, despite problems with the story and character development, I had an enjoyable time and hope they get another season to properly wrap things up.
