The comedy hits like someone broke into the tone controls and won't stop hitting random buttons. Unit 8's cases escalate from "stop the Willwear crime spree" to absurd setups that derail into profanity, English voice acting chaos, and exoskeleton action that doesn't take itself seriously for a single breath. Season 2 treads the same ground as Season 1, and the cast doesn't grow much, but the show knows exactly what it wants: a police unit anime where the joke is that nobody can keep the mission statement straight for more than five minutes.

Tokyo is pushing hard to finish the Space Elevator Project ahead of an upcoming summit. The Special Public Security Fifth Division's Unit 8 was set up to fight crimes involving Willwear, a type of powered armor. After stopping the terrorism of Logos, the unit has become popular across Japan. Yet crimes that abuse Willwear keep growing worse rather than easing off. Kuroki and Unit 8, now joined by new members and backed by civilian police, keep taking on these cases with a mix of intelligence, courage and quick talk. The result is a mecha and sci-fi police story built around armored crime fighting in the capital.
