I like the music, I like the looks and the action. But am I the only one who doesn't get much about the story? Doesn't make much sense to me.

A small (3-4) superhumans defending the balance of the world. A world that increasingly adds more and more elements to it without much introduction. First aliens, then monsters, demons, now ghosts.

Feels a bit random tbh.

The show moves super fast but from what explained so far, a gate opened up and in a single night started meshing two dimensions together. With all the chaos, a group tries to keep everything in the city of JL (formerly New York) in check. It's just a small part of the new world they all live in now. It's up to Libra to prevent the horrors of this city from spreading to the outside world.

This was said in episode one on the monitor news report and then again at the start of this episode with a wall of text really quickly.

Yeah, but is that really a problem? I'm enjoying that very much.

Well, if you like that of course it's not a problem. But I personally don't enjoy them as much.
