ACCA is Looking Promising and That’s About All We Can Say Right Now [First Impressions]
Ok, anime about cute girls are great and all, but with like one million of those airing this season I’m really fucking glad this show is giving us something different. I definitely want to make this post just to make sure its on everyone’s radar but I’ve only got one weird thing about the show to talk about and that’s how I really wasn’t that impressed with the first half but loved the second half.
The first half of this show decided it was going to deliver some of the laziest exposition I’ve seen this season so far. When your sentence starts with “As you already know”, you know its going to be bad. Sometimes this is a necessary evil to explain the setting, but I really think the writers could have easily written a better monologue for the chief. The thing is, the logic for him repeating the function of ACCA actually makes sense. They are getting shut down because they’ve become obsolete in peaceful times. The dialogue at the beginning of the episode did a great job at establishing the peace while seeming natural. I think a good improvement to the chief's dialogue would be: “We won’t forget the service ACCA provided in our years of hardship, but now even you Jean must understand that your services have become obsolete. We’ve got our budget to consider and frankly we can’t maintain an organization that looks for corruption among our ranks when there just isn’t any anymore.” See, that wasn’t so hard.
The other time I thought they botched the exposition was in the car in the agriculture district. I’m not sure why they felt the need to tell us directly that it was an agriculture district. We had already seen the corn sign and we even got a shot of the fields themselves. Hell, the background of the shot where they delivered the exposition was enough of an explanation.
Even though the way the told us about the world was a little jank, the world itself is amazing and there were lots of elements that were well explained without clunky exposition. By the end of the first episode its clear what role cigarettes play in society and not once did we get some fat guy in a chair saying “As you know, cigarettes are a luxury item now thanks to the price hike of 2078, blah blah blah.” I also liked how they use Skype. It does make me question, though, why they have powerful computers and yet are still keeping physical records of most things (hint: its because movie-makers need a character to actually hold something in frame; it just looks better).
So that’s my little bit on ACCA. Like I said, I loved the second half and considering all the exposition is out of the way I think we’ll have more good things to come. This is going to be one of those anime that has an overarching narrative that you just can’t judge until you’ve watched the entire thing. I look forward to seeing how it turns out. I would recommend this to everyone to watch, especially if you like Cowboy Bebop mixed with politics and detective stories because that’s what this feels like.
TLDR:
The first half of this show was filled with bad exposition, but the second half set up a potentially great overarching narrative. The chief explaining ACCA could have been better written to not seem so forced and the women explaining her area’s agricultural focus could have been left out entirely considering the images of fields we already saw. They did get a lot of world building right, especially in terms of cigarettes. This show is Cowboy Bebop meets political detective and it seems to be going in a great direction. There will be no way to full judge this show until we see the direction the story goes, so for now I just say hop on for the ride!
