I don't know if I would personally rate it a 10/10, but it was definitely good for a compact 10 part series. However, it definitely felt like some of the plot started to get rushed at the end, same with some of the character motivations, as they wanted to make sure everything was wrapped up in the short amount of time they had. Think they could have expanded this out to a full length 50 part series and it would have done wonders for the relative flaws I found in the anime. Still, it's really encouraging to see Netflix venturing into this realm of anime. Hopefully they continue to push the boundaries with more original content along these lines. It certainly had its flaws but in my opinion, it still was a masterpiece. The show is just so unique that I just can't help but love it. But certainly, the pacing near the end was a major drawback. SPOILERS: When the world started to end and humans started self-destructing was a major was a major wasted opportunity. There should have been another episode between episode 6 and 7 where we got to watch the world fall apart. Instead, we just got a jump in between episodes from "oh humanity knows about demons" to "the worlds ending". It almost feels like there was another episode there but it had to be cut. 50 episodes is a lot. At that length, you start to see new problems cropping up like filler episodes and losing the unique feel of the show. Plus people like me can barely sit through 26 episodes to 50 would just be too daunting. I think if they had made this show 13 episodes like a usual season of anime is it would have been just perfect. But all-in-all I was expecting nothing from a Netflix funded anime so I was pleasantly surprised that they would not only make a show that was fantastic but one that doesn't conform to standard Japanese tropes and censorship.

Eh a lot of Go Nagai's stuff is too long anyway so I can see why they trimmed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge fan of this new style of animation, but it's definitely different. The story is a bit rushed, but it was a nice watch, given that it's supposedly part of a trilogy series. It's only about an hour and a half long, I'd say give it a watch for anyone who has Netflix. I thought it was pretty awful. I have no interest in part 2.

I think the only reason I have interest is because of the fact that there is a part 2 lol. You're right that as a stand alone, it wasn't all that great.

Geek Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 So I recently discovered there is a football anime called Eyeshield 21. It's actually has a rating over 8 on MAL which isn't easy to do. It's also all on Crunchyroll for free. I'm kinda intrigued and feel it would be pretty funny to see all the Japenese stereotypes of football but I'm a little intimated by the 145 episodes. It's also got a manga that's even higher rated than the anime at 8.57. I might try giving that a read. I've never really watched or read any sports anime but if it's as good as people hype Haikyuu!! or Ping Pong the Animation to then consider me interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Manga is lightyears better than the anime. The manga is by the same guy doing the OPM Manga which is the look the anime based itself off of, Eyeshield is like a top-5 all time book. Though yes, the football in it is laughably bad for a large chunk of it, mostly because the author (in a break from tradition the book has an author who isn't also the artist) had absolutely no knowledge of football before hand lol. The anime is pretty terrible and cheaply made and also cuts out the best games and characters from the book. Just imagine that but with Football for the book. Aside from Slam Dunk and Touch!! it is the definitive sports manga. Edited February 10, 2018 by Thelonebillsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it comes back with a much more focused story board and the animation team is giving the necessary time for the series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelonebillsfan Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I don't know I thought UI Mastered looks stupid, like that terrible SSJ5 fanart from a decade ago lol. Super is over and done, but Dragonball is gonna get another show by 2020, they make too much in toy and merch sales when they have a series running to not do so.

Super has been transformation overload. Also too much fan service. Hoping the next series picks up when Goku flies off with Uub as Super said they wouldn't be changing the end of Z.

Should have ended it there and had it been perfect. The author of death note kind of alludes to that in their next manga Bakuman which is a manga about making manga and a solid read if you ever have the time.
