Active Raid: Kidó kjóšúšicu dai hači gakari - Season 1

I am not really much into mecha. However, I decided to watch this show just because of the names of the directors. The first episode was pretty good. The animation and soundtrack were not bad; the characters were quite interesting, the fights were action-packed. Well, it is definitely not the new Code Geass, even though I had some expectations because of the directors, and after the first episode, I thought, "so far so good.". The next episodes made it seem like a kind of wannabe mecha Alarm Für Cobra 11. On the one hand, it tries to be "cool," and just like in the stories about the German highway police, things are demolished too often and too efficiently. On the other hand, there is not much originality and somehow it falls into a certain stereotype that eventually started to bore me. Furthermore, even the conclusion was totally uninteresting and absolutely devoid of juice. This show was a big disappointment for me and very boring. 3/10. (07.01.2016)
