The story isn't revolutionary but the animation is fantastic (and looks just like Dishnoured's aesthetic) and the acting naturalistic and it seems like a full-fat fantasy world to sink into.
And the third episode was an absolute banger! Pretty epic and sometimes moving and very satisfying. Looking forward to the next three episodes being released!
Im the same, never was an LOL fan but I started it yesterday to kill some time, and I binged the whole 6 episodes. Was thinking throughout the series how cool it would be if there was a videogame based on it, and I remembered the series is based on the game
Im still not going to get into LOL but the lore is very good.
I've just caught up to date - I can't quite believe how well this show has turned out. It's so slickly executed in terms of animation, action, emotional beats and even the hints of deeper politics and lore. And all the characters are entertainingly rounded and believable without an OTT goof performance in sight. And it's just so entertaining.
An easy 5/5 from me so far and I'd be surprised if the final 3 drop the ball. I thought the boxing fight in 5 was fantastic but then the ambush at the end of 6 probably topped it.
A big fat Wow from me.
