Glamorous Heroes

I honestly unironically like this anime. I don't get what the hate is all about. Like sure, I was expecting some sort of ironic humor, and that does deliver, but to me there's more unironic than ironic enjoyment. Definitely doesn't deserve to be one of the lowest-rated anime of all time, that's for sure.

I definitely understand some viewers being confused when they're plastered face-first into a battle at the beginning of the series, but honestly I think . But honestly, I think that was one of the best ways to introduce the series, and I believe it was executed very well and left enough room ... open for exposition later in the first and second episodes, which I enjoy quite a bit. Sure it's a simple story, but it doesn't need to be so involved with lore like most anime is nowadays. I think it also helps that this is a bite-sized anime at six minutes long. The characters are also fairly simple, except the main character who has a bit more backstory when we get so see the stage, and I think that's what needed to be done as well. I love the AI observers being like "what the heck, that isn't fair" and sort of breaking the meta at times.

Unfortunately, this anime isn't perfect. I was originally going to rate this an 8, but some of the animation inconsistencies led me to drop it down to a 7. Plus, there's some details about the device the main character wears over his eye that the main villains of the story don't want the public to know about, and I wish that loose end was tightened up a bit more. Chihiro, the pink-haired character, also sometimes gets unnecessary dialogue. And there are a couple weird moments of fanservice in the second half of the series that leaves me feeling a little disappointed. Still, I enjoy this series and have respect for the team that made this.

Now, I did say there was ironic enjoyment to this too. Here were some of my favorite ironic moments:
- The theme song where one of the layers of words just goes "ous Heros" (fr they misspelled heroes), and the final s is trying to catch up with the rest of the letters (I think the katakana for "Glamorous" is misspelled, too, it looks like "gurarorasu" to me.)
- Episode three when one of the characters just nonchalantly goes "bakaaaaaaaaaaa" after a whole building is chopped down
- PIZZA
- The MMD dancing
- That one moment where they're frozen in mid-air for a second and then drop off the screen without their bodies moving
- The occasional sub glitches
- The transformation from one sword to two swords
- When it plays into some its more wacky moments, like "What do you mean you have to be stronger than the strongest there is?"

So yeah, um, I like this, and I guess this is going to be the top entry on my "People didn't like it but I did" list. I implore you to watch it yourself, even if it's for ironic enjoyment. I really don't believe this show deserves to be hated. At worst, it's a decent show with some funny moments and small errors, definitely not worth trashing it though! It's something I definitely recommend. I love it, flaws and all.

I'm not going to lie, my friends and I watched this at double speed and I missed most of it because I was hardly paying attention.

Story: 1/10

The story of this show kind of reminds me of a BOFURI event arc. The characters (who I don't remember the names of five minutes after watching), collect the "Seven Deadly Sins", which are keys that one enemy literally has six of. These McGuffins lead to a final fight with the MC fighting basically the shadow version of himself. I don't know. I don't like Zelda, so it really didn't do it for me.

Art: 5/10

The show looks like if ... Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds knew what SAO II was going to be about and tried to steal the idea. The pink-haired AI girls were kind of hot though, so I'll give it a pass.

Sound: 3/10

There were like three songs in the entire show, so I guess I'll give it a three on sound.

Characters: 2/10

The characters in this show range from knock-off Brooz from Interspecies Reviewers, not the main character from SAO Alternative playing a party healer who doesn't heal, a stormtrooper with titties, and the God of Video Game High School--who basically just cheats right in front of the devs like a sigma male Chad. Oh, and I guess there's Gojo's down B with Lubbock's imperial arm. The characters reminded me of a lot of other shows that I would rather be watching, but I guess that's better than nothing?

Enjoyment--the only category that matters: 9/10

Watching this with friends has made me realize that even with Ken Burns effects, keyframes that could be done by middle schoolers, and walk cycles that make characters look like the have prosthetic legs, a show can still be a good time. Definitely don't watch this show by yourself. Watch JJK or Code Geass or freaking Redo of Healer instead. But with the boys, this anime was a riot. 9/10, will be forced to watch again.

well with my Friends and I we have find the most dogshit show. Opening right off the back is a man moaning in autotuned with scuffed edm backing. That opening showed nothing of the show and was just basic font saying the name with the characters in the backing of said text. But one thing that stood out to me and my comrades was that this show was BOLD. the fact that this show in the first place was a bold decision to green light production on. Like come on wtf were they thinking. story, pacing, and Animation is utter dogshit.

The characters are generic and ... not appealing at all. Another thing about this show is that its Hella generic and just boring to sit through. the only way I enjoyed watching this show was putting it in 2x speed and laughing at the bad animation and Voice acting. Favorite seen had to be when the building was cut in half by the generic red head dude and the gojo sheik hybrid says baka. 10/10 just for the bad Voice acting and weird transitions used.

As a person who has seen ero-manga sensei I would rather waste my time rewatching that then this atrocity.
