Review of Gleipnir

Gleipnir (2020)
9/10
Exceeds Expectations
7 October 2021
I first heard about this series when its anime adaptation was announced and I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. This is one of those shows that is best to go in blind, knowing absolutely nothing about it. This is one of those shows that you have to watch to the end before you decide to critique anything. There were a lot of things that despite small, I questioned because they didn't seem to make much sense but clearly they knew what they were doing because it all ended up being answered in the end. The animation is incredible with some of the coolest and most intense fight scenes I've seen in a while when it comes to anime and despite being just a 12 episode anime, it provides a lot of depth and character development for our protagonist. I would have given this a 10 but there were some parts that were pretty cliche and there was a lot of unnecessary sexual scenes. Aside from that, the plot is properly fleshed out and nothing is too overdone. Not sure why people had a problem with it but the characters were well done, the plot is creative and fresh, and it doesn't try to be unique. On top of that, it constantly kept me on the edge of my seat and I was never bored. If you're into fast-paced shows, I recommend this. Give it a watch :)))
