1. Plot and Narrative Structure : Cohesion, Does the plot make logical sense? Not so much. They had a pretty good setup at the opening and they could've done thousand different good things but they didn't. Are there plot holes? Yes l, Big ones....like how the Earthlings were born on Mars, the science behind it as it is sci-fi, how they wipe out the Martians, how they all arrived at Earth and how the Main character is linked with them. Pacing, Does it drag? No....fast paced. Too much fast paced as they didn't explained anything. Does it rush? Yes Does it respect your time? No Mystery/Payoff, Are clues planted early? Not even a single clue about what was going on and why😂 Is the reveal earned? Not revealed anything at all Stakes, Do actions have real consequences? Not that much Is death permanent? Yes but no character establishment so death of a character didn't matter. Rating: 1/10 2. Characters & Development: Depth, Do characters have clear motivations? Yes they have but it's very weak and normal Do they change? No absolutely not....they don't have any character development Realism, Do they act like real people under pressure? Kinda, but their decision didn't matter as the villain was so weak Dialogue, "Is the writing sharp, or is it melodramatic garbage?" Dialogue was very bad like they didn't even cared about it Supporting Cast, Are side characters fleshed out or just meat puppets? Meat puppets only....even the main character wasn't established Rating: 0/10 3. Animation & Visual Direction: Art Style, "Does the aesthetic serve the tone? (e.g., Devilman Crybaby's raw, ugly style fits its brutality)" For 2000s the art style was bearable but it could have been better. Choreography, "Is the action fluid and meaningful, or stiff and boring?" Action was cringe....soooo bad and booooring Cinematography, Are camera angles and framing used to build tension? Literally nothing. No use of camera angle. Consistency, Does the animation quality drop? The animation quality was below average Rating: 1/10 (Just for trying) 4. Sound Design and Music: OST, Does the music enhance the mood? Is it memorable? There was no opening. Closing theme was below average and the overall themes ar not so memorable. Voice Acting, Does the performance sell the emotion? No, There's no good performance it's actually garbage. They didn't even tried to sound convincing. Sound Effects, Are the soundscapes immersive? Not very bright but overall it's not a big problem Rating: 1.5/10 5. Themes & Philosophical Depth Core Idea, "What is the show really about? (e.g., trauma, identity, human nature)" It's a Sci-Fi, Action and about Survivor of the human race. Execution, Does it explore the theme with nuance or just preach at you? Actually they had a good setup at first. They could have done it very differently but they just rushed it and literally left it empty. Relevance, Does the theme resonate with real-world human struggle? The concept was good like the other sci fi alien types shows and Movies but it was very ordinary nothing out of the box. Ambiguity, "Does it leave room for interpretation, or spoon-feed you answers?" Actually the show didn't reveal anything so yeah it kinda asks you for some questions but the plot was weak so it would be not so hard to interpret. Rating: 1.5/10 (only for the starting setup) 6. Emotional Impact & Lasting Power : Gut Punch, Did it make you feel something real? No not a thing. Aftermath, Did it stick with you for days? I'll try and forget about it. Did you dream about it? Ohhh holy fuck😂 Rewatchability, Would you ever watch it again? Nope, never, huh not😒 Rating: 0/10
