It was decent, nothing mind blowing but was fun. Kinda just wanted to watch this since I'm used to most Shonen works and SIM did the opening for this and I already like the opening. Overall decent nothing to crazy.

Peak

I feel like some people's quality meter is incredibly binary. It only has peak and trash signals.

It's like someone took Dr Dolittle and made it Bleach

The resemblance is quite uncanny indeed

Felt very similar to Bleach ep 1. Same intro scene fighting some thugs and Jiro even kinda sounds like Ichigo. MC has ninja training + a Pochita variant. Hoping to see how it differentiates itself from other Shonen anime. Seems like it'll be enjoyable.

Seems like your usual action shounen but i am more so interested to know what they will do with the adaptation since this was an early axed manga. Maybe something anime original down the line?

I don't know, the manga material is sufficient to cover one cour, so they might just go for a complete adaptation and call it a day. Hope not tbh because I think the IP has a lot of potential that was left untapped.

I kinda dislike these "kidnap then recruit" trope. It would have been much more satisfactory if he would have beaten those agents too for being cocky. Now they're just going to put a leash on him.

Same, it just gets repetitive. Therefore, it is easy to introduce new characters.

Wholeheartedly agree. The start was incredibly generic, I feel like I've seen a dozen different flavors of the same story.

the action scenes were way better than i was expecting and it seems fun

Jirou looks like Fushiguro from Jujutsu Kaisen
Well, we had Qifrey(witch hat atelier), who looked like Gojo last season.

Awsome3 weeks ago3

Good ep

Alr, so Jiro has the ability to talk to animals and he's a shinobi.

Kinda reminds me of the beginning of Bleach a bit.

Looks like evil mononokes are trying to use Rago's power(mononoke as well).

Those are sum nice thighs, Ichika 😮‍💨

Nachi a real one.

What a save by Jiro.

Bro talking bout "oops" as he impales Jiro with ease 🤣

Oh ok, he basically assimilated into Jiro like Pochita into Denji.

That darkness punch was raw asf.

So Ichika and that guy are from the Bureau of Espionage.

Animators must love these angles of Ichika 🙂‍↕️

Quite interested to see why it was cancelled, but for rn, im rocking with it.

This ep adapted ch1.

9/10

I imagine it's not intentional but I get serious Chainsaw Man vibes from this, looking forward to seeing the rest of this series.

the manga came out before csm, so definitely not intentional

Pretty and derivative.

i'll stick with bleach as my mid shonen of the season. at least that is pretty to look at and has better fan service

RandomKat3 weeks ago1
bleach isnt mid

Sciapodas3 weeks ago2

I liked it seems like it will be a fun one, oh and that ED is groovy.

Mrxdpt3 weeks ago1

I don't know it felt kinda boring to me, I don't think this was a good start, the first episode is supposed to hook you on the series.

Well I'm going to give it more 2 episodes, if it keeps this level Imma drop it.

CobaltBeetle3 weeks ago1

would have been cooler if the mc could just communicate with mononoke and form partnerships with them, becoming a liaison instead of merging with one and becoming a jujutsu kaisen punch machine. but i shouldn't expect much from a battle shounen.

Ridel3 weeks ago1
Yeah, it's crazy with all the build up and the fight is ended by punching. Not the best start

I really enjoyed this first episode; it’s true that it reminds me a bit of Bleach. But the protagonist seems cool. That bit where he can talk to anime characters was funny. The opening theme is a banger! I can’t wait to find out more about the special forces and their roles, as well as learn more about this world. I wasn’t bored at all.
