- No explanation for anything. The show assumes that you saw Dunbine. But it's not as bad as it sounds as some things are just obvious to a watchful anime fan.
Both of these were actually pros for me - it was so refreshing to see the complete abandoning of normal pacing and explaining and just plunge the viewer into a raging stream of action. I wouldn't want to watch a lot of shows like it, but when I watched this I was actually laughing aloud a few times - not because it was so bad or necessarily funny, but because of the way they broke the customary structures of anime storytelling. Sort of "Haha, they still don't slow down?".

I liked it, despite the shoddy picture quality.
