I will be honest and say that I came into this series with high expectations so my review might be quite biased. Cute yuri girls, gun action and produced by a studio with an impressive resume, these really got me really excited for this series.

The animation was superb as expected of A-1 pictures making the entire series consistently visually appealing. The art and character designs were splendid and I love the vibrant colors used. The gun fighting animations are so cool and badass, it totally feels like John Wick anime gun choreography.

As amazing the production of the animation they suffer from some poor directing. It was not a surprise to me that the director for this series has no prior experience as a lead director and this was his first gig. His past experience where all on character design. The pacing and transitions between scenes are really weird and not given proper time to be processed. Even for the simpler scenes that are more Iyashikei/CGDCT/slice of life -esque scenes felt quite forced with the obvious exact same quirky upbeat music that constantly plays which gets really repetitive throughout the series. The more serious scenes such as terrorist attacks, evil plots, etc suffer from a lack of preparation and a weird abrupt transitions towards them. For several minutes there are cute girls having fun and suddenly there are terrorist attacking and it only last for what feels like a short while. It almost feels like the 'OH NO, anyways' meme if you get what I mean. I did not feel any tension from the dangers of these terrorist attacks even until the last moments. It always feel like the next minute everything will be fine and they will be serving deserts in their cafe and be happy and all. This nonchalant attitude towards these dangers in the series is greatly increased due to the fact the main badass character also don't seem to mind hanging out with the main villain.

I honestly did not mind the main protagonists not being very interesting. They look interesting enough and they do interesting stuff like gun fighting and shopping for underwear. Their personalities and motivations are pretty simple along with simple to non-existing backstories. Again I don't really mind or care because although I am not attached to these characters I still find interest in their cute and badass secret agent lifestyle.

A character that I do find pretty stupid tho is the main villain of the series. He is obviously inspired by the Joker. There is so much 'we live in a society' vibes from him its almost cringe. His motivations are not only uninspired, it is really unclear. Like what does he actually want? Or is he really a direct inspiration from the joker being an unhinged psychopath so that's the reason why his motivations are unclear? Hell he even have the green hair.

Overall it was a a confusing experience for me. I liked the Iyashikei/CGDCT/slice of life aspects of the series where things are chill but felt really indifferent and almost annoyed by the more serious plot line of the terrorist attacking. The major flaw in this series I believe is the poor direction.
