“4.5/5 if you’ll let me?”
(Hardback)
Some of the action design in this is unclear, but what is very obvious are the influences. Despite the creeping feeling I’ve had for a while that there isn’t a lot that can still be interpreted from the Mech genre. It turns out you just need a little imagination. The only thing holding this back from being a total knockout is the aforementioned action panelling (this tends to only be an issue within the first 3 issues) and the early exposition heavy writing. Which I can forgive knowing how much Ram V is able to cram into just 5 issues. Cus HOLY COW issues 4&5 FLOORED ME, THIS ART IS INCREDIBLE! THE DESIGN THE INTENTIONALITY! GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!I think really I just wanted more time… which is ironic. And a common criticism, which is fair enough. Not sure how much the creative team had control over how short it was, if a choice, it’s an odd one that’s a little indefensible, but I doubt that’s the case. With that in mind a lot IS done here within the issues. You think they could have made EVA in 5 episodes?
