Heavy cut of Season 1 of this action anime. Somewhat too close to the bone for me.
The first section, the kidnapping, is truncated almost to incoherence.
The essentials are there, but little else. In fact, this edit bounds along until the U-boat section.
Mission is explained, tactics, actions, twists.
The last section is pretty good, as well, though more of a shooter game.
What is missing from this, aside from Roberta, is the dialogue.
The conversations, observations, philosophies, are one of the quiet strengths of this series.
I suspect the editor found these too much “My Dinner With Andre.”
Too bad, for these lulls are what elevated this series above most screaming fighting anime.
