There's a movie (name i can't exactly recall) that explores the topic of "reincarnated protectors" that i truly enjoyed the premise of so this was right up my alley. The Animation style is relatively unique is well so i'm interested in just how far that's pushed. My only issue(s) are that Melinda, seemingly the protagonist this story centers around, during the second part of the 1st episode premiere didn't really make sense to me? She (understandably) is confused about what's going on & pretty adamantly (so much so she physically pushes {or explodes} at different points) does not want this life. I find it poor writing that the second her fiancé shows up she all of sudden forgets 5 minutes prior she would've been happy to run off w/ him. She "says" she Melinda now but of course there's no true substance behind that statement as she spent the entire episode Not Wanting To Be Melinda. I just feel that part of the plot could've been better articulated because as a viewer it doesn't make sense. I understand that her mixed desire is a plot device to carry the story forward, I just wish it was done better as this is a compelling narrative otherwise. Outside of that, Melinda being a carbon copy 2020's version of an 19th century Betty Boop is a little.. disappointing. I mean you can draw/animate Anyone or Any features.......... why not be original when relatively everything else is?
