There's no getting around it. This isn't very good. Toonami originals aren't very good. Their attempts to keep up with the proverbial Jonses in Netflix have led to a lot of subpar projects where it's clear there's too many cooks in the kitchen and a lot of little touches that make it worse. Arguably, the only original to really escape this is Shenmue, and that's because it was a rather faithful adaptation of two video games.
