The effects when certain espers use their powers are pretty flashy but they never cross into the realm of the ridiculous. To ZKC:U’s credit, it’s vague enough that that may or may not be what’s going on, but you should never have valid reasons to suspect that your protagonist is a pedophile when they’re portrayed in a generally sympathetic way. Particularly during his dealings with Kaoru.

Although Hyoubu has some moments that make him seem kind of creepy and make you wonder if he likes little girls in an inappropriate way. Hyoubu and Hinomiya are also really interesting characters. That being said, the character interactions are really well done. Most characters tend to get either really obvious arcs or be archetypal characters without much to set them apart. The characters in this, with the exceptions of Hyoubu and Hinomiya, aren’t particularly well developed. With everything aside from the flashbacks following a logical progression. On the positive side, the world they create is pretty interesting and the story is mostly effective. As a result the ending ends up rushed and kind of weak. they put some flashback episodes that don’t serve much purpose directly in the middle of the series, which interrupts the much more interesting action that’s going on in the story’s present and leaves less time to flesh out the ending. There are some things it does well and some it doesn’t. The story mainly focuses on Hyoubu, his organisation and their goals. But Hinomiya has a secret which could threaten Hyoubu and his organisation. Hyoubu offers Hinomiya a position in his organisation, P.A.N.D.R.A, which is accepted. Hyoubu follows and the two escape along with a captured girl known as Yuugiri. Consequently, Hinomiya is taken to another facility.

The two start bonding and Hyoubu gives Hinomiya some of his food, which happens to be poisoned. He’s taken to a prison camp for espers where he meets up with a young man named Hinomiya. The story of Zettai Karen Children: Unlimited, henceforth referred to in this review as ZKC:U for the sake of brevity, opens with a silver-haired character named Hyoubu Kyousuke using ESP to wreck everything before allowing himself to be captured. So let’s just take a look without any expectations, positive or negative. I’d describe that as intriguing, but the last time I expressed excitement at watching something completely unfamiliar I ended up watching Cheesesteak Suppository and I don’t want to end up in for a disappointment again. I have no idea what to expect from this one.
