Cubed3’s Lee Mehr: “When its all said and done, whats left is a strange if admittedly ambitious goulash of superhero antics, cross-country vistas, and budding relationships that feel uniquely boring. Red Thread so desperately wants to tackle the troubled soul of modern America whilst also batting around enemies with powers and snark in a cel-shaded dystopia. It cant really make any meaningful commentary because its allusions are so softened and confused. Being an Anomal is less like a targeted minority and more of an aesthetic, akin to a spiked leather jacket. Dustborn is that jacket littered with corporate logos: not merely superficial, but also achingly insincere.”
