Oh boy, and right on the heels of me starting a 5-page-long argument about the shows aims on an SAO topic two days ago. BTW, when youre done with episodes 3 and 5, Id advise you to look up Bobduh and r/trueanime.

Potentially a top 10 anime for me. Dub or sub? Both answers are right.

I was going to give a response, but then I can never trust when people are being genuine and reasoned in their responses as opposed to just being gut-reactionary and shallow.

i mean character wise. it definitely has it's own unique wacky tone, and if that's enough for you then that's cool.

if the main girl, the weird scientist guy, the outfit, and everyone at school don't seem super generic to you though then i don't think we will come to terms.

I'm going to dip out of this topic after this post because I don't think it's supposed to be a place for negativity, but I do think "soulless" is a somewhat apt description of this show. "Generic" not so much, but yeah.

My irrational levels of hatred for Studio Trigger are probably well-known in the anime topic so take whatever I say with a grain of salt, imo.

The same director did KLK and TTGL. Was he supposed to completely change his style just because he left Gainax when they decided to stop making anything good?

OW THE EDGE

it's not meant to be edge. disagreeing with you does not automatically equal edge.

same director or no, the entire time i was watching the show i couldn't shake the feeling that I'd be better off just rewatching ttgl

I hate the meme term of "soulless" but that kind of explains it perfectly. it checks all the boxes of having the crazy setting and the badass upgrades and the anime tits and the wacky sidekick and goofball humor all amped to 11

but at least for me, i could just see each box being checked off as each episode progressed. it's almost formulaic in how it tries to be ttgl

I would say it's generic in the sense that every episode is the same. 2nd season is sweet though. If you don't compare it to TTGL it's wayyyy better, but it's hard not to compare.

Im digging the humor and moment to moment scenes so far, but Im not that invested in the overarching plot right now.

The nudity stuff also seems excessive, but the plot hinges in it so I get it.

Think this will end up being an anime I like but not love. Definitely doesnt touch Gurren Lagann for me as of now. Being by the same guy though, Im sure Im in for some big developments.

The more anime I watch though, the more I appreciate how Hunter X Hunter cracked my top 5.

Anime Ive watched for the first time in the past year ranked:

1. Hunter X Hunter
2. Assassination Classroom
3. Gurren Lagann
4. Steins;Gate
5. Kill La Kill (pending)

I also watched The Boy and the Beast and loved that.

Wow it's pretty similar to my overall rankings.

I think mine goes like this

1- One Piece
2- Fullmetal Alchemist
3- TTGL
4- Steins;Gate
5- 20th Century Boys
6- Assassination Classroom

Then I dont remember. Probably some point combination of death note, code geass, Hero Academia and a few others.

I think HxH is massively overrated.

I'm only now realizing how unstable my top 5 is.

1 - Steins;Gate
2 - Eureka Seven
3 - Baccano
4 - Madoka Magica
5 - Bakemonogatari

But there are quite a few other shows that could creep into that 4 or 5 spot.
