And I would have loved to been able to share what was in store with you all,” added Takeuchi. “To everyone who watched, thank you for coming along on the ride. Even though I’m sad, it helps to now that there’s people out there who cared just as much about these characters as me.”

The Best Animated TV Series of 2022

IGN’s Inside Job Season One review gave it 7/10 and said: “Inside Job offers likable characters and a world full of creatures and secret societies. Its character-focused story gets a little carried away with constant pop-culture references, though, and an indecisive approach to conspiracies.”
