GojiSonic's Short But Visually Appealing MURDER DRONES Review - PLOT/STORY: 7/10 = The plot overall was entertaining to watch throughout most of it. It started off strong, became a little less interesting midway through, but managed to get right back up at the end in a satisfying manner. - INTRODUCTION: 7/10 = Some lore background is always a nice way to start off a series of this genre. The sudden shift from the planet being destroyed to a school presentation did throw me off a little initially but it was handled decently for me so I got used to it shortly after. - CONCLUSION: 8/10 = I like how you’re fooled into believing numerous are dead throughout the entire final battle only to be proven otherwise. (I would’ve preferred if specific characters actually died in that final battle.) - PROTAGONIST: 5/10 = Uzi came off as classically edgy which at times caused for corny/cringy moments, but, there were moments where she was the best character in certain scenes, so I’ll let it slide. - ANTAGONIST: 8/10 = Incredibly literal, I like that. - DYNAMICS: 3/10 = I wasn’t really satisfied with how quick N was to switch his love interest from V to Uzi instantly without much struggle. That is certainly something I would’ve handled differently if I had control over this series. - EMOTIONS: 7/10 = Initially came off as incredibly dull, but made up for it in those last three episodes with confidence, fear, sadness, despair, and desperation all at once which did intrigue me. - HUMOR: 2/10 = Aside from the sudden silence in extremely suspenseful moments and the perfectly cut screams, the humor didn’t really match my style. - ACTION: 8/10 = Seeing stuff blow up on a cosmic scale always makes my day. - SUSPENSE: 7/10 = Episode 2 and 6 handled this aspect the best with characters being slaughtered all around our main characters. - SOUNDTRACK: 9/10 = Dark Synthwave music gets my adrenaline going. - CINEMATOGRAPHY: 8/10 = I really admired the dark blues, reds, yellows, and oranges + the apocalyptic camera angles throughout a majority of the series, especially during the finale. - PACING: 5/10 = I truly believe this series needed at least three more episodes to flesh things out more properly when it came to its characters. - POST-CREDITS: 5/10 = I mean....what can I say about the post-credit scene that lasted like 15 seconds that is really that important to talk about in the first place..? - POWERSCALING: Most of Murder Drones’ powerscaling comes from its 6th, and 8th episode with Cyn outright consuming entire planets via black holes. Though, most characters aside from a few tragically get injured by everyday weapons like knives, pens, etc. (Yes, I’m aware of Cyn’s universal statements, however, I’m only focusing on on-screen feats for this review. Also base Goku victim.) - OVERALL: 7/10 = Murder Drones managed to satisfyingly live up to what I was expecting it to be prior to watching it during my note-taking on the franchise the month before watching it. (May 2025) - I will be obtaining a Cyn plushie soon. It is inevitable, and has been inevitable for a few months now.
