About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an adult animated horror-superhero story that’s bleak, violent, and heavy on mood and inner conflict; Not for you if you want light fun, frequent action, or low gore—try Castlevania or Love, Death & Robots instead.

Pros: dark, eerie atmosphere; strong voice acting; intense violence | Cons: very talky pacing; extremely graphic content; uneven storytelling
