Underrated!
So much potential to be big! It came out more than 10 years ago, but I guess back then, shows like this weren’t really a trend. If they re-released it now, I think a lot of people would find it super interesting. The plot is kinda confusing at first, but since I heard there are a lot of sequels, I’ll be fair with my review.
The story is about SPEC holders—people with different powers like predicting the future, possessing others, super hearing, Time control, mind control, and more. It’s a really cool concept, but they didn’t really explain how these people got their abilities in this season yet. Then we have our main characters: Sebumi, a serious and righteous soldier, and Touma, this weird genius who’s obsessed with eating gyoza. They work in a special organization that solves cases involving SPEC holders. Every episode, we get to see different cases and abilities, which keeps things fresh.
What really got me hooked was Touma’s connection to the time-stopper SPEC holder, Ninomae. Turns out, they’re actually siblings who were manipulated into fighting each other by Touma’s creepy stalker ex-boyfriend, who has mind control powers. That cliffhanger, though! It made me wonder if Touma herself is a SPEC holder, since her brother can stop time. It was kinda hinted at in the last episode.
The show isn’t all serious—it has emotional moments, action, and a lot of funny scenes. The side characters add a good amount of comedy, and Touma and Sebumi’s constant bickering is hilarious. They act like they can't stand each other, but they’re actually a great team.
Touma is probably one of the coolest female leads I’ve seen. She’s not the typical badass who fights, but she’s insanely smart, which honestly makes her even better. The actors were really good too, especially the ones playing Touma and Sebumi—their expressions and line delivery were spot on.
