Level E

All of the bad parts of shounen in one 12 episode package. Baseball, former delinquents, an annoying MC, tokusatsu hijinks, aliens, boring mystery subplots, references to how much we LOVE! Shounen Jump, and jokes that fall all the way flat. Suffers from Shounen Jump shounen disease where none of the arcs and characters matter when the next arc starts. The main character is absolutely unbearably smug and unpleasant, and even hearing Takehito Koyasu's sexy voice as one of the like, three recurring characters was not worth it. A charmless version of the things that make Shounen Jump shows so accessible and beloved. The entire time ... I watched it, I kept thinking about much it reminded me of Gintama - an infinitely better version of all of the same elements presented in this trainwreck.
