Tougen Anki

Long ago, demon-like creatures known as Oni butchered humans and brought on destruction solely for their own delight. A lone man named Momotarou opposed these gruesome, near-invincible monsters, but the war against them was just beginning.

Thousands of years in the future, temperamental gun enthusiast Shiki Ichinose leads a carefree life. However, after his expulsion from school, everything changes. Shiki is suddenly attacked by a man and is rescued by his adoptive father, Tsuyoshi. As the two flee, Tsuyoshi reveals that Shiki is actually a descendant of the Oni, while both he and their pursuer are from the Momotarou lineage.

The two Momotarou soon clash in a fierce battle, and Tsuyoshi sacrifices himself to protect Shiki. Devastated, Shiki awakens to his Oni blood that grants him immense strength at the cost of going berserk. Although the enemy escapes, Naito Mudano, an Oni teacher at Rasetsu Academy, takes an interest in Shiki. Under Mudano's guidance, Shiki must learn to control the Oni blood—if he ever hopes to avenge his father.

Preliminary (3/24 eps)

In 2011, the novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" was released. What some may not know is that it was originally written as a Twilight fanfic called "Master of the Universe" that was later rewritten with original characters.
Tougen Anki feels like something that went through the same process, but was originally a "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny"/"Tails Gets Trolled"/"Kingdom Hearts"-esque fanfiction involving a ton of shounen universes, telling the tale of how Okumura Rin, with his backstory barely changed, gets the powers of Kaneki Ken and goes to a school having Aizawa Shouta as his teacher and Kugizaki Nobara, Iida Tenya, Kanroji Mitsuri and Inumaki ... Toge (With the powers of Denji), among others as his classmates.
Either this, or it was the result of an AI being trained on Shounen.

And I fucking love it.
Everything is a mess, the author was clearly more focused on WHAT he wanted to do rather than the how: Our protagonist has a collection of real guns in his house. How did he even get hold of those in Japan? No idea, but those are there to justify why he has a "gun motif" in his powers (Which, honestly, shouldn't need a justification?) and is never brought up again. The first thing we learn about him was that he was kicked out of school, just so we don't have to waste time having to explain his current status quo and the consequences of breaking it.
The fact that episode two adapts 4.5 chapters while only feeling like it does 1.5 makes me question if we're getting turbo-cuts in the adaptation or if the original manga only has one sentence per page and makes every scene a two-page spread.

Most of the seasonals I watch, I do so handpicking them by watching every single teaser/trailer for the season. While watching it's first episode, I kept asking myself "Why did I give that a chance?", though this was answered by the end of the episode showing our main cast: Seeing them interacting seemed like it would be fun... and it was! Absolute chuuni-kino.!

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (4/24 eps)

Tougen Anki feels very underwhelming to me. The story is extremely basic and predictable, and the characters are too simple to leave any real impact. It’s the kind of plot that has already been told many times before, and nothing here feels fresh or unique.

The animation isn’t terrible, but it’s also nothing special. Overall, I’d say this anime falls painfully average for a shonen. After watching four episodes, I honestly have no motivation to continue the show.

A very generic series with little to keep me interested. This show disappointed me so much that I decided to write a review for the first time

Not Recommended

Preliminary (4/24 eps)

This is my first review, I never cared to write it, but it's the first anime I've dropped, so I'll give it a try.

I decided to drop this because Im already watching 13 anime this summer, and this one is my least favorite. It's not terrible, but it's also nothing interesting.

The main character is completely unoriginal and boring, the plot is really generic mc simply finds out that he has some abillities, they take him into an organization and he fights with another organization, the power system isn't great either, they simply create weapons from blood, it has potential but after these ... 4 episodes it doesn't impress me.

The biggest plus, though, is probably the animation, but it's not very good either. There's a lot of CGI in the fights, but it doesn't look as bad as it can look in some anime.

Also side cast is really boring. After 4 episodes, I don't have a main squad character I like.

Ovrl I consider this anime to be mediocre, I don't feel any attachment to the characters, nor do I feel any emotions or hype while watching the episodes, so I'm dropping it for now, maybe if it turns out to be good later I'll come back, but I doubt it
