Stinky man won't die.
Series in more sentences:
A wanted man who can't die is visited by two robots who wish for his help finding a lost prince from a recently destroyed kingdom. "Philly the Kid" wastes no time telling them not to be interested, but can't seem to lose the company, and befriending him proves a bigger challenge than finding the prince.
But the robots have a simple understanding of human emotions and stay undiscouragable.
Despite the quick backstory each character got, I can't say I felt emotionally invested in any of them. The story arc of Sam the robot I found most interesting, but it includes the stupid, pampered prince, and of course our rude opportunistic main character. Who would've died many years ago, if it weren't for his gift/curse. I really had to agree with one of the villains when he told Philly off about never having avenged his parents, but the guy didn't even respond to these facts. I guess he realized it was true when he changed his objective, but I didn't really see a change of heart occur.
Other than that, I liked the art style and the sudden ways Philly kept dying. Some were horrifying as well, and nobody cared.
I think, for a first season, the anime did a good job setting up the characters and keeping me entertained. The robots were overly cheerful and would not pick up on certain comments; they were one of the best written robots in fiction I've ever seen.
I hope to see more character development in the next season.
