Synopsis

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.

People are too quick to call a series a “underrated”. This is because it’s not easy to gauge the popularity of a series in relation to the following you think it "should" have. If I were to make a list of underrated series, that list would be incredibly short. It would also include World Trigger which isn't a label typically attached to a Weekly Shonen Jump series. An up and comer in WSJ that drew interest in the when it began to air from the mere fact the it ran in that magazine, that interest almost immediately dissipated in the first couple of episodes. Suddenly, read more

Truly an amazing anime really balanced out as in everything is explained you can't question anything about any scene or something i loved how they done that..

Sadly it is underrated alot of people dropped it at the start? the art is kinda okay but what's more important are the fights and scenes very cool, there's no overpowered character like most animes or the true main guy owns all no everyone is accounted for everyone in it has a job to do not totally focused on main character


I heard that they didn't continue the anime cause people aren't talking about it? which is a lame reason.. read more

Unlike most people, I personally loved this anime. I understand the first few episode wasn’t so great but we need to look at a bigger picture right. Most people say the art is terrible but I think it’s alright. As for the story, I find it very interesting. you will a little confused in the beginning but as you continue, you’ll fully understand it and enjoy it. The character development is a bit slow, however, I think are great for a shounen anime. I agree that sound aren’t really impressive but view as a whole, I think it was really worth it to watch it! read more

First things first, this anime is very underrated and gets picked on way to much. The animation style gets the most backlash however once I got used to it I actually really enjoyed the style used. The characters were lovable and interesting and I got sucked into the story really fast.

The only downfall I can think of this the ending as it felt unsatisfying and was a let down, we just have to hope that there will be a 3rd season.
Over all I really enjoyed this World Trigger, with it's characters and pleasant art style it has really stolen my heart. I really recommend watching read more
