From the same studio that brought us Wolf's Rain, here comes another post-apocalyptic anime that I have watched during my younger years. seriously judging my childhood right now

So the story mainly focuses on Thor, and I don't think it'll be considered a spoiler to tell you what happens to his twin, Rai, 'cuz they basically showed it as the series' teaser:

There's also a sizable timeskip within the storyline (I blame it on the anime being only 11-episodes), but it doesn't really detract from the overall sense of survival this anime wants us to feel, along with Thor striving to get to the "Top of the Food Chain" so to speak, in order to find a way out of the penal planet of Chimaera.

And even though I gotta admit Thor grew up into a damn fine specimen, I hate to point out that the female characters surrounding him came off as a bit too desperate for some man-meat.like is that our only purpose??

Other than the bland characters, this series would have shown more promise had it been more than 11 episodes! I mean, there's a whole other story arc they could have expanded on that timeskip of Thor spending the next several years of his adolescent life in Chimaera! And don't get me started on the conspiracy trope they pulled on us 'cuz they kinda lost my 11-year old self somewhere along the "need-to-procreate" lines happening in between.
FINAL RATING:
Animation - 4 ⭐
Story Pacing - 2 ⭐
Warnings of Blood / Gore / Death - 5 ⭐ P.S. No ecchi here despite all the talk on wanting to make babies, just plain good'ole violence coming your way.
