Action against wrongful doings
A group of people teaming up together to exact revenge is not a new premise. What's interesting is that instead of killing their targets, Avalanche just put their dirty laundry in the media. I like that. Ayano Go is marvelous here and this is my first time seeing Watabe Atsuro as a villain.
Characters and their dynamics or developments are very important in measuring how much I would enjoy a drama. Or else I won't care about the plot much. And the team has such a good bond. Though they are an organized crime group, they feel like a family. They cover each other back without question, without hesitation. They laugh together, they bicker. That helps to lighten the somber undertone this drama has. I have so much fun turning the nation upside down alongside the members.
The pace is good, albeit slightly too fast at times. The oldest team member being a naturally chaotic good amuses me to no end. I didn't expect that from him. Such a cool man from Stone Age.
Fighting scenes look fun and satisfying. Habu looks like he's come alive only for those cause usually he looks like he's burdened with the weight of his past. Though Ayano Go still retains some of his usual playfulness even as a the tortured hero archetype.
Every episode is packed with a lot of details. Along with the pace, it makes it very hard not to be glued to my screen.
Watabe Atsuro makes a very formidable antagonist. He's very quick to adjust his plan to match Avalanche movement. He even gets the group scattered around, panicking. Sometimes it feels like all hope are lost. In the end, I wish we would have gotten more reaction from him but I'm glad he's not a sore loser.
I like what they did with the format too. Part 1 is more detective work and part 2 is where the war begins. Episode 0 helps with Habu's perspective.
If there's anything that is lacking it's probably with the character Fujita, I'm not convinced of his motive. His presence cheapens the plot a bit. And I really want closure regarding him. I don't understand why Habu looks up so much to him.
I'm glad Saijo's papa and the journalist did what they needed to do.
This is more of a stream of consciousness during watching the drama, not exactly a proper review. Thank you for reading ~
