Pacing at the start is pretty shit. We're thrown directly into it without any buildup or character development, as if we're supposed to already know the two protagonists. The speed at which the story progresses is also a bit too fast, which makes it hard to really care about the cast. That's just a consequence of the video being short, but they didn't make good use of the time they had. The guy seems like your average "nice guy" character, and he didn't really leave much of an impact. What he did though was show that he wasn't incompetent, and despite his recklessness, he did do what he believed was right. Can't really fault him for anything other than being introduced in a very rushed manner. The girl unfortunately doesn't get much screentime, and just seems like an average girl who just knows the standard protocol for observing nature. Maybe she'll get more characterization in the next episode. She has a cute voice though, so I wouldn't mind having her around more often.
It could be good if they improve on the pacing but keep the tone. Characters who primarily observe but interfere when it's necessary are not a very common trope, so this could be a fun little series to watch alongside Liko's series. I just hope the next episode's subtitles are done by someone who can convert the blunt and short directly translated dialogue into sentences that sound more natural, because these subs
