Plots(1)
Mysterious creatures have been terrorizing an island, forcing locals to flee their once-thriving home. With government funds lacking for monster eradication, Tajima purchases the only construction company left and transforms it for the task. Thankfully, the brilliant Testuro Okino and his new robot, Bullbuster, come to their aid. But the team is on a tight budget. Can they save the island? (Crunchyroll)

Giant robots destroying monsters while also handling paperwork, the cost of ammunition, and other logistical challenges of a not-very-thriving business sounds like an intriguing premise on paper. Despite not being a huge fan of mechs, I decided to give the series a shot. Unfortunately, the robot itself didn't strike me as anything special, and the creatures it battled were equally underwhelming. Even the humorous jab at bureaucratic hurdles like paperwork (contracts, insurance, licenses...) before the action kicked off failed to captivate me enough to keep watching the show. Hence, I opted to drop it after just one episode. Perhaps I'll revisit it someday during a slow anime season, as the series didn't rub me the wrong way — it just failed to hook me from the get-go. Unrated.
