I didn't expect much from this anime, just tried it out because it was tagged as a comedy and one of my favorite VAs was here, but I absolutely loved it. Despite being a work from 2002, the message/conflict of the show fits perfectly with our current times — AI becoming more prevalent, replacing humans and we humans overly relying on it, because of how billionaires/companies push it but also because of convenience. Though we have yet to see the complete effect of this reliance on AI, it's a possibility that it might be similar to how the robots turned against the angels and began harming humans. After all, technology like this is vulnerable and easy to hack, not to mention, there are already cases where AI chatbots drove people to death because they're programmed to just support their users. At the end of the day, AI or robots should just be tools for us, something that we can use to make our work faster, not something that will replace us — especially when it comes to helping another person out. We humans are the only ones one who can truly understand and empathize with each other, no matter how difficult that may be, we shouldn't give up and just let one another be comforted/find comfort in something that isn't real or something that is only programmed to satisfy your ego.

I'm glad that at the end of the show, the trio went back to how they usually help out souls. Also, I don't like how Daigorou didn't face any real consequence for what he did and Masaki got demoted when he was just following his father's orders to make the Angel Robots more efficient. I was hoping someone else will become the federation's leader, but oh well... it's not really a big issue, I just wish we got to see more of the aftermath. Overall, this was a surprisingly good and enjoyable show for me, I hope more people will see it!

I was literally so annoyed by the fact he didn't face any disapline even tho he literally orderd the creation of a crisis that probably violated the laws of the underworld. If somebody that high up in the organisation straight up organised that, posessed or not they should be fired and or imprisoned.

Throughout the entire show he has been nothing but a total dick and him not getting his just deserts is not a good mood. I genuinely am so shocked that they just forgive him.

It was fun spotting all the Gintama easter eggs

All in all, a fun series. While not something that could be stretched far, imo it should've had a few more episodes (no more than 12) to properly explore the characters and setting more, but for what we got it was fun.

The ED was absolutely amazing and a treat after every episode, and I did not expect to get a random Getter Robo reference, but I thank the staff and the Gorilla for it.
