/Summary

Its a two part adaptation of a manga, in it a former cop turned private eye goes to investigate the sketchy deaths of his former collegues. He finds out that an underground weapons smuggler disguised as a Nightclub owner is the person behind it.
Killing them because they were investigating his crimes. He and the only surviving collegue goes to try and stop him. Real basic plot lol.

/Review

This show was extremely bad, not even in a good way. It was predictable and boring the entire time with extreme bullshit. I mean there are so many wtfs it aint even funny. Wtf was the mindcontrol powers? How come Goku was the only one to be able to fight against it? Why was Goku given the eye? Why is it so op to a point were it doenst even matter?

The characters where flat aswell, especially the Lady that I'm even going to bother looking up. I knew from the start she was going to die for the motivation of the Goku. I swear as soon as she came onto the screen I already knew bruh. Speaking of the Goku, walking archetype of the fantasy badass calm cool collected dude. It's not even done well and just comes off as corny. Not going to talk about the villian because I mean he's just a generic underground black market type of character. Not that anything is wrong with those type of villians. He dies an expected death and then it ends with Goku licking his wounds and bitching bout his dead 'girlfriend'. Hopefully it gets better in the second part, which I doubt.

>>Back?
