About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a punchy, action-heavy recap with humor and big monster battles, similar to Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;Surrection; Not for you if you want the full season story or dislike abrupt slice-of-life detours.
Pros: fast-paced monster action; funny cadet banter; vibrant gooey battles | Cons: missing key plot; uneven tone shift; extra episode feels filler
