Needless

Unlike some stupid shounens i like this one.Adam Blade is best kick-ass character i've ever seen in any anime.I didn't like this brat Cruz,because he's a whiny bitch.But overall i enjoyed this anime's comedy the most.

Sometimes, you just need to turn your brain off and simply enjoy something that wants to be fun.

Needless, is that very thing.

To appreciate Needless you need to understand that it is not trying to be overly complex or showcasing moral high grounds or anything like that.

Needless is, at is core, a show that simply wants to entertain. It gives you character banter, plenty of cool over the top fights and striking visuals. Really, the visuals are amazing in this show, despite using mainly basic, flat colors.

It doesn't try to be clever with its writing, it's very self-aware of what it wants to be and ... it does it with a god damn big flare.

If you ever just want a show simple in its story and giving you tons of fights with a ton of different super powers, this show is just the thing. And it's pretty damn hard to find something like it out there, trust me I've looked.

Our main character, Adam Blade, is a supposed priest with a terrible attitude and personality. He pretty much hounds and bosses his friends, is an open lolicon and is greedy to boot. But despite all his character flaws he is the closest to a good guy we're gonna get in this show, which already sets the mood of what to expect.
Luckily his "friends" somehow endures his terrible personality and make sure he stays in line, most of the time. Really, we don't get to see main characters so borderline villainous as Blade here in animes.

So if you wanna watch some people bash robots apart with their bare hands or bash each other with fire coated fists or supersonic speed, get going and watch Needless already!

I really enjoyed this anime for what it is and that's a comedy action anime with fan service. I found myself laughing pretty often and I enjoyed the action. While its nothing groundbreaking in any way. It gets what ist supposed to get done right.

The story is probably the weakest part of this anime. While its pretty simple its entertaining enough and interested me enough to where I could sit down and binge watch 6-10 episodes at a time even after seeing this Anime 5 or 6 times already.

The Humor is probably what I enjoy most about the series. The Characters are pretty ... one dimensional but since it is a comedy anime you cant really expect complex characters. I really enjoyed the Beautiful Girl Squadron. They made me chuckle the most probably. and really I found most of the characters to have a charm to them that made me really enjoy them despite that.

The Art style is pretty good as well as the animation. Certainly has its own unique look to it. The voice acting was mostly really good Some were just so-so. I also really enjoyed the music.

Its most likely going to be an anime that hit or a miss with most. f you dont like its brand of humor the action might be what saves it for you. Its a lot of over the top fighting which is enjoyable to watch.

If you are looking for a complex anime , well then this isn't it. Its made to be silly fun and for me it got that right. Hell I'd even love a sequel even though this anime doesnt need one. I recommend it if you like comedy/action anime.

Needless is a show where humanity is about to be distinguished by humans with Super Powers called Needless. Most of them are evil working under Adam Arclight who is basically a god.
Speaking of gods, the powers of the Needless are basically abilities from the Second who is basically Jesus. And a few characters are closest to him in ability because they were cloned by him as means to be used as weapons.
Basically the goal of the good guys which include one of the clones Adam Blade to defeat Adam Arclight and save the world.

Super powers in this series are standard but the characters use it ... in clever ways which make them unique. And fights involve characters to figure out how to counter said power and how various abilities are connected to 1. Unless they are clones of Jesus which basically allow him to use multiple abilities and copy those of their opponents. But even the broken main character has to figure out how to overcome the members of Simeon's Pretty Girl Squad which consist mainly of cute girls that experienced military training despite their looks.
Basically the fights are badass spectacle and strategic.

Characters are also amazing.

Blade might be a controversial character since he is into young girls... he suppose to be a priests and the show makes fun of priest stereo types. While that creates a lot of creepy but comical moments, it also serves as a weakness when fighting the far more experienced Simeon's Pretty Girl Squad.

Arclight is your average villain and has a mightier copy power to Blade. His goal is to become a real god pretty much.

Eva Neuschwanstein is Blade's closest friend has the ability Doppelganger that allows her to transform into different people. She is also insanely powerful with cool moves like a turning her arm into a drill. She is bad with names so she nicknames everyone. She needs a lot of calories to fight at full power which is why she drinks some weird soda with 5000 calories.

Schild Cruz is a child without Super Powers but he makes up for it with his analytic abilities which serve as crucial means to beat any Needless they encounter. He is often victim of comic relief jokes and punishment.

There are other amazing characters too with my favorite being Setsuna who has the Fragment (basically what the abilities of Needless are called) Speed who is basically the leader of the main Pretty Girl Squad the protagonists encounter. But there is also a mysterious character named Saten who's intentions aren't clear and some green haired masked woman.

The show is amazing but often it doesn't take itself serous. The tone shift can be bothersome and some images can be considered deviant. The anime artstyle is unique for the show and it has a lot of badass female characters in it.
Highly recommend giving it a watch.

Needless has got to be some of the best slapstick and outright outrageous humor I've seen in an anime. Its animation is good, the voice acting is excellent and the plot is... well the plot is special which serves to accelerate the humor. A gang of misfits with supernatural powers of questionable usefulness trying to strike down a megacorporation. Half the cast has some of the worst morals possible and characters always remain true to their (questionable) origins and motives.

The anime follows the manga until about a third the way into the manga where it takes a deviating approach to end the series. The ... ending isn't terrible but having read the manga where it left off, it missed so many great arcs it could have covered. Regardless, the ending wasn't unsatisfying or crude, just missed potential.
