Animation 7.9/10
Everything is well thought out from the color scheme to the character design. But the action scenes take center stage for this one. They are gritty and impressively animated.
Final Thoughts
The first episode makes a solid origin story for the main character. Audiences will be interested in delving deeper into the story to learn more about the criminal organization and the Logan's history with it. In the meantime, they won't mind making do with gritty, well-animated fight scenes.
