While I was fascinated by the concept and the variety of stories on its titular character - or should I say characters - I was left emotionally detached by the overall experience. A requirement for reinvestment with each new story brought only repetitiveness rather than significant revelations or developments. Ultimately, the entire experience was an unappetising one, saved only by its engaging premise and wicked art design.
