Impressions:
Just hearing that Science Saru had a new series coming out was enough to get me in the door, and the first episode was enough to get me properly hooked, to the point where I had to start buying up the manga before the next week's episode could even air. Our two leads Momo and Okarun have a great dynamic and we add in a colorful side cast and inventive antagonists that make for compelling supernatural action set pieces. A creative studio like Science Saru is a perfect choice to bring a series like this to the small screen. The only downside is that the season ends on a heck of a cliffhanger if you don't have the manga to fall back on. This is a ton of fun and well worth a place in your collection.
