Reception

Anime-Planet: The anime received overwhelmingly negative reviews on review site Anime-Planet, criticizing the show for its violent and nonsensical plots, simplistic 3D animation and unlikable characters (first season note: 1,068/5 - second season note: 1,059/5)[5][6]

My Anime List: In general, people found the show bizarre and surreal, having a certain surprise and even discomfort in the most violent parts. What people dislike most were the character designs and animation. Some felt that the show was "misunderstood" by others and that it could even be considered a "masterpiece" (first season note: 5.18/10 - second season note: 5.57/10).[7][8]

OST (soundtrack)

The music is composed and mixed by Meyna Co, who also created the soundtrack for another of Masuda's shows called Ga-Ra-Ku-Ta: Mr. Stain On Junk Alley.[9]
