Synopsis

In the current era, a small percentage of people called "Special Abilities" have skills and powers normal humans do not possess. An autonomous organization, the Deviant Control Office, keeps these Special Abilities in check. Though some wish to maintain this order and peace, some wish to take advantage of their abilities and obtain more power in this world.

Audience Consensus

The audience is initially captivated by the novel premise and art style, but the narrative quickly devolves into a generic revenge plot with excessive flashbacks. While some appreciate the unique character designs and side characters, the overall sentiment is mixed due to the unfulfilled potential of the initial episodes. The story fails to maintain initial quality.

Strengths

  • Engaging story in the first few episodes.
  • Unique and stylized CGI animation mimicking 2D.
  • Interesting side and villain characters.

Weaknesses

  • Story becomes a standard generational revenge story.
  • Over-reliance on long flashbacks.
  • Character development stagnates after initial episodes.
