Entertaining but…
Over all it is entertaining. I am giving lots of stars for the entertaining bit. So if you want something fast paced and can over look the issues in the story line then you will enjoy it a lot. There are definitely loop holes and moments that will make you laugh.
This was really entertaining from the beginning to 9th episode. Although it got slightly (only slightly) boring by the second half, but it was interesting enough for me to keep binging. Predictable? Definitely.
Everyone acted well except, I’m sorry but Sakurai Sho is not a great actor in my personal opinion. His “uso darou” made me say the same about his acting skills. Sonim was annoying in the last episode, with her acting.
The plot holes include how all the Oni got arrested even after shooting blindly (they had training for a while though). It was easy to spot those who were the spies or on the other team. From the middle, due to the conversation, it was also easy to figure out why Ao Oni was so obsessed with Musashi.
The last episode was the most disappointing. With all the entertainment to flat boring end. They should have revealed the Oni slowly and I wouldn’t have minded in every episode, but immediate reveal after slowly revealing every episode made it boring.
You might have found it boring that Oni were not that terrible and had no intention to kill or hurt anyone physically. I’m fine with it. Their training was mainly to reveal the wrong doings and that was a good fun part, the reveal. But that reveal also got slowly boring because they started focusing too much on the only one event.
The drift between Oni team was predictable but it was what dragged the story and made it annoying. The hunt for Emily was also extra unwanted uninvited stress compared to the reveal.
Oni team didn’t want to kill or hurt the extra people because they themselves had lost too much and too many people. So police shooting and hurting Oni made it look like police were the wrong ones. I think this soft side of the Oni made people lose interest in the show easily. The adrenaline rush of seriousness of the situation they created by bloodshed in episode 1 was lost. But then again these Oni were normal people who just lost loved ones due to people working at that Hospital or because of that Hospital.
Spoiler about the very end

I was disappointed at my own self when I realised “she” was not part of the gang though I was so sure she was but surprise surprise! She had her hand in it in a way. We won’t know how but maybe they left it open for possibility of at least a movie, if not season 2. Not having another season is completely okay. The entertainment that we got from watching this is enough for one season. Season 2 would be boring if they don’t do something amazing to get the viewers hooked. Not many will pick the season 2, unless they are die hard Sakurai Sho Fans.
