In Summary:
While it continues to have little to do with what came before this particular series, Cybuster is a series that has some really interesting ideas for a series but forgets to flesh it out with interesting characters and decent pacing. There is definitely some good core material here in the story but it's just so awkwardly told at times and makes such strange leaps of logic that it doesn't keep the viewer as involved as they should be. Add in the problems of there being no really great character to chew the scenery properly and you end up with a fairly mediocre show whose failings become all the more obvious. There is some really good ideas at the core here but the first ten episodes have done a really awkward job of getting it told properly that I have to wonder how the remaining episodes will play out.
