World Trigger

When a gate to another world suddenly opens on Earth, Mikado City is invaded by strange creatures known as "Neighbors," malicious beings impervious to traditional weaponry. In response to their arrival, an organization called the Border Defense Agency has been established to combat the Neighbor menace through special weapons called "Triggers." Even though several years have passed after the gate first opened, Neighbors are still a threat and members of Border remain on guard to ensure the safety of the planet.

Despite this delicate situation, members-in-training, such as Osamu Mikumo, are not permitted to use their Triggers outside of headquarters. But when the mysterious new student in his class is dragged into a forbidden area by bullies, they are attacked by Neighbors, and Osamu has no choice but to do what he believes is right. Much to his surprise, however, the transfer student Yuuma Kuga makes short work of the aliens, revealing that he is a humanoid Neighbor in disguise.

Never seen another anime give their jobbers so much respect. You feel like everyone is a master of their craft: they fight well and employ traps and strategy. It's a bit like deathnote except every other character is an L and Kira and they use guns and swords.

There's some illogical stuff like the fact that this one city has every single alien invasion in the world and obviously the most advanced technology. Border could beat every modern military combined, they're defending the world form invaders that can beat every modern military combined, but they're still liable to public opinion and need funding. If you ignore ... these logical inconsistencies it's great! It's also slow but I don't mind that much, I just click skip intro when it recaps.

I'll be waiting a while for S4 since the mangaka's health I hear isn't that good. Oh well, loved it so far.

Mixed Feelings

Originally was 5/10 and wouldn't recommend, but this has A LOT of nice aspects and world builds nice kind of like One Piece. I overall recommend just finding summaries/highlights, then going to S2 (made 5+ years later).

Content: extremely triggering as contains unwarranted extreme xenophobia that just wants to commit genocide and doesn't actually care about people. This was my #1 Trigger and made zero sense though EVENTUALLY stopped hampering on it.
There are lots of characters, styles, combat tactics. Lots of recaps and such. There is only 1 fairly long filler arc to my knowledge.

Style: it actually seemed pretty damn unique to me, I'm failing to ... think of an anime that recreated it. The art can be a little redundant/annoying even if kind of fun/cute.

Personal Enjoyment: early on, hated it and wanted to drop. I didn't hate the MC like a lot of people did, I thought he was pretty good, other than this positive qualities just keep on failing me. I started LOVING the anime somewhere in the middle when they had combat competitions.

If you like stuff like Naruto, Boruto, One Piece, Fairy Tail, et cetera that can be a bit drawn out, I think you will like this too.
If you hate that type of stuff, I recommend steering clear, but maybe getting summaries/highlights so understand S2 better as those 12 episodes are entirely clean.

First of all I hate animes that does a freaking long review of the entire series, instead of just the most reason development, I mean if you haven't watch the series from the beginning then it doesn't matter either way cause this is a freaking long anime. That said can't believe why so many positive reviews of 8s and 9s seriously.

This anime has such terrible main cast, 2/3 were useless from the beginning. The main guy tries to improve himself throughout the series and we're force to follow his boring non-progressive development for almost the entire time. The worse part is the MC received ... help from many of the top rank guys but still remained as useless as if he never had any training. Can't rant anymore without spoiling too much regarding the plot.

Bottom line is only watch this crap if you have nothing better to do. Even then I think there are way better animes to watch then this, or if you like the kind of idiot that is weak as hell but sprout about how he wants to be a hero and safe everyone but accomplish absolutely nothing besides talk, this is for you.
