The anime actually starts quite strong. The characters although generic seem quite likable, and plot's easy to follow. The few starting episodes are very well-animated and the action sequences are quite a sight to behold. But somehow the anime fumbles the story afterwards. The story is suddenly ripped apart from the main story to a side story that's very in-cohesive and incoherent at times. The power scaling completely falls apart. Every new "enemy" that gets introduced completely lacks character and just feels bland. Even the side characters completely fall flat compared to the first parts of the anime.

All in all, it's an enjoyable anime if ... you temper your expectations.

Mixed Feelings

First of all, I really liked the animation quality — it clearly reflects the studio’s capabilities and attention to detail.

When it comes to the story, however, I would say it is rather mediocre. It definitely had the potential to be much better, but instead, it feels like a patchwork of ideas borrowed from various other anime. This makes the plot somewhat predictable and lacking originality.

As for the battle scenes, the visual effects and animation quality are simply stunning. The action sequences are dynamic and visually impressive. However, the presence of "plot armor" is a bit too obvious in certain moments — it becomes hard to ... ignore. One thing that really bothered me is that the main character, Niue, doesn’t use their abilities during some critical fights. I couldn’t quite understand why, and this inconsistency made those scenes feel frustrating and unrealistic.

In conclusion, if you enjoy anime like Solo Leveling, you’ll probably find Super Cub entertaining as well. It offers good action and visuals, even if the story could have been stronger.

The story had potential—it’s unique and not entirely predictable. But that’s where the positives end. The execution is poor, and there’s virtually no story build-up. Events just happen without proper pacing or explanation, making it hard to stay engaged.
The characters are one-dimensional and lack any real development. There’s no emotional depth, no realistic reactions, and absolutely no growth. They felt more like placeholders than people.
The only saving grace is the animation. Visually, it's smooth and polished. The action scenes are well-done and enjoyable to watch, but they can’t carry the entire show on their own. Good animation means nothing if the story and characters fall ... flat.
Overall, it’s a disappointing experience. If you care about story or character development, you’ll likely walk away frustrated. The action is the only reason to check this out, but even that isn’t enough to make up for the weak writing.
