[Matrixbeast]

So, I started Liveman. For a beginning it was...Okay. Like, I know why they began the way they did, but it felt like it may have brought the beginning down. It really felt like they put more into the characters who died rather than our heroes. While the Livemen were around, they didn't really amount to much until the last five minutes (Though I'm sure this will change by episode 2). The issue with this is that it doesn't give me much of an introduction to our heroes. I don't need their name, interests, personality, and favorite food plastered on the screen, but they were just there so we could get a fight scene.

I did like that the Liveman suits were developed over the time skip. I felt it makes sense and it was good that it wasn't some kind of last second moment where the professor walks in and goes "I made these super suits and super robot while you guys were in class. Take this and go fight" sort of thing. While it doesn't make much sense to create a protection suit and proceed to give them wildly different designs from each other, it doesn't bug me that much.

Villains were kind of silly. I get how they can be a threat, but they just look too over the top and dumb for my tastes (Also, "Beauty Beast?" Really?). I didn't get to see much of Bias, but I think there is potential for the villains due to their personal connection to our heroes (I hope they don't squander it by having them just be generic generals past our introductory episodes).

Suits look nice. I've always been particularly fond of the Liveman suits. I've never really liked the designs that are flooded with their main color and have a drop of white on the gloves or something. This balance looks pretty good.
