#Last hope season 2 series

There are many good elements, nay, great elements that will probably win over a small and dedicated legion of fans, but most of the time it’s a struggle to find a reason to keep watching. *Winks and pokes finger guns at BOTW fans* Much like Link throwing together an elaborate concoction in Breath of the Wild, one wrong element can turn even the highest rated ingredients into dubious food. But while the components of the anime are strong enough to stand on their own, somehow in this instance putting them together didn’t seem to create the “perfect storm” that Kawamori-san and co were probably expecting. On the surface it attempts to blend many things: a barren Mad Max-esque wasteland, a band of loveable mercenaries and gigantic mutated Kaiju, all with a hint of Kawamori’s signature transforming mecha. Alongside a group of mercenaries and an array of unique flying and driving mecha, “Unit Pandora” becomes humanity’s last hope. Enter Leon, a genius inventor who develops an experimental Quantum Reactor and fuses it with the chassis of a highly mobile experimental wheeled mech in an effort to reverse the fortunes of mankind. The BRAI, highly evolved forms of Earth’s native animal species, have laid waste to most of Earth’s cities and have pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Much like 2015’s God Eater, the central premise is derived from humanity battling mutated creatures for its survival.
