Just finished catching up. That was a decent arc, and I can't guess what is going to happen going forward, but we've an exceptionally odd little duck of a shounen here.

The world building is ambitious, as mentioned above, but whether it is used meaningfully will be a big factor in how satisfied I will be with it, but for now, this is pretty good.

The intro and first battle, and induction sections were slick, but it fumbled a bit on the zombie town arc by dragging that fight out to about an episode and a half longer than it was interesting. Playing the "Andy is the big bad himself" card this early and its group battle felt like a desperate act by the author as I was watching it, robbing the other Union members of their mystique, buuut it played out well enough. The Apocolypse/quest 'results' have been, by far, the most interesting portions of the show. This mafia cruise ship arc ended just before it started getting stale, but the show hasn't shaken off the faint impression that it is just throwing ideas at the wall sometimes, ya know?

I'm divided on how good this is, but for now I'm definitely interested in the story's direction. David production is doing a better job than they really have to from an animation standpoint and the important cuts are done justice.
