Who would’ve thought there’ll be burger shops down here in this trash world. Really tells you there’s a lot to learn about their world, but yeah, the early Gachiakuta was pretty rough. Add all the screaming and basically zero communication skills Rudo brings to the table… yeah pretty rough lol. Btw, will dude ever meet an adult who won’t take advantage of him? I mean I know Enjin found him and is kinda looking after him, but let’s not forget it was him who left Rudo at the mercy of those trash collectors, just to see his powers.

Thank god btw they did go over the “jinki” stuff and all, I mean otherwise all of that power up we saw Rudo jumping around with last episode wouldn’t have made much sense. Of course, he the main guy so his powers are kind of extraordinary too. I agree with Zanka, I mean that’s actually kind of like a cheat code when you can turn anything you touch into jinki. Except he doesn’t actually know how to use his own power, so it doesn’t make much difference. Decent follow-up episode, but yeah, it’s going to take time. Also this being a trash world doesn’t mean you can play around with shit xD

Gachiakuta confirms my belief that pro-environment anime work best when the cast is full of hot guys.

Oh, it seems like there's a female cleaner as well. I hope she's not interfere with male bonding.

Ah yes, toilet humor in a battle shounen series, the 2000's nostalgia coming back to me. Rudo cluelessness traumatized Zanka and gave Enjin a lifetime of laughs lmao

It's incredible how Zanka's introduction managed to be so badass, introspective and hilarious all at once. Watching Rudo actually follow Zegto's teachings amidst his rage and get rewarded for it was genuinely really cool (while it lasted), and the potential having gloves as a vital instrument is insane

The realization after finding out he got hit with shit. I'd also be running for my life if someone was swinging a shit filled plunger at me.

Riyo looks really good too.

Bones has been cooking with the adaption so far. I'm already looking forward to the events after the "introduction arc" has ended. It's going to be even crazier.

That plunger really had unlimited shit on it, whoever threw it out must have destroyed their toilet 😭 that segment was pretty funny though, they even included the classic Scooby-Doo style hallway chase lol. Zanka's personality switched up real quick (as would anyone's when you're having a shit-filled plunger swung at you).

Also, it was nice to get the rundown from Enjin on stuff like Anima and vital instruments. OP from the episode 2 discussion thread complained that Rudo got a random ass power-up "just because," when that "random" power-up got explained literally 1 episode later. Huh, what do you know, having that little thing called patience does wonders in preventing one from making oneself look like a dumbass ☕️

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Red hair girl here finally now I can actually lock in lol. She’s so pretty wtf. Congrats to Rudo for finally finding a halfway decent set of friends. The cleaners have a noble mission and will help him learn the exist of his powers, get money and give him some sort of direction. Win win for everyone.

Think this is the first time I’ve ever seen the student beat the master in the first fight of a battle shonen? Fighting with a shitty plunger is CRAZY though. This is definitely a show you can’t watch on a full stomach tho because ngl a lot of this shit is very gross and the core theme of trash/dirtiness is hard to stomach at times. It’s definitely a unique story though so credit to the author.

s/o to regto as well. You know you’ve been a great parent when you continue to parent from beyond the grave. We lost him too soon, but his lessons to Rudo continue to help guide him and literally saved him today. Sometimes you just gotta say sorry and try to defuse stuff instead of trying to win every fight.

episode 5/5

lol that encounter between Rudo and that guy was hilarious, they were fighting with a toilet plunger lol

I confess that I missed this anime, the first two episodes had a very serious and "catastrophic" vibe, this episode was funnier, I think I'm starting to like it

Just because the world's filled with trash and bad air doesn't mean you're immune to poop. Peak episode and adaptation.

I did not expect a laugh out loud funny episode after the tragic premiere and its action focused follow-up, but I loved it! This was honestly my favorite installment so far; I had so much fun!

Enjin is probably my favorite character right now; I love his look and demeanor: he's cool, kind, and kinda hot. Rudo is very relatable as the fish out of water. Zanka is a fun add, and brings a great dynamic. Also, I'm interested to see what Riyo's all about.

What's more, the Pit is much more developed than I expected, there are cars, shops, restaurants, lights, etc. It's a really cool world. I'm so excited to have started this show! And to think I only did it because of the music!

Really? Rudo doesn't know about plungers? And he was oblivious that there was shit stuck in there? Oh, and I guess this show is going to have a lot of comic relief moments like this then, huh?

Very solid episode. Paced well too with proper character introduction and decent humor for a change. Still don't like constantly screaming trait of main character. Hopefully that goes away at some point.

I was hoping they won't fight for fight's sake, and for a moment there I thought it will calm down after some nice talk, but no... they still fight each others and because some stupid insult sigh... anyway, they are going to their base, maybe we will see more fun characters

Two things to point out (Other than the Scooby-Doo aah chasing sequence):

The protagonist having common sense to thank people and try to de-escalate fights is a breath of fresh air compared to the protagonist of Tougen Anki, who feels like the people who appear in EWU-type videos that turn a speeding ticket into multiple felony charges.

Also, in episode 1 I remember reading credits for "Graffiti Design".
I can now see why: Those fuck.

WE GET IT, IT'S POOP! One second they're doing unfunny comedy, the next second bloody rage, and they're flip-flopping on a dime.

I still want to see more of these cool-looking characters and more of the world, but it's becoming torture to sit through these meaningless, nonsensical, cringe-inducing scenes. One more episode.

light ep, nothing important but good overall

really putting a 8 as an expectation hopefully it doesn't let me down

zanka is really a character that is loveable from the 1st ep we see it mainly, riyou is looking good too

and enjin is him, really good characters we are seeing

enjoyed the ep, 4 / 5 it was comedy with a bit of drama I can say when rudo was remembering his father ( regto )

This episode was pretty dumb even having the classic Scooby-Doo chasing sequence, I liked it haha, so I like the world and the characters so far and I much rather see this Rudo being super socially awkward and inept than him going super edgy wishing revenge and make the people from the top pay, him deescalating the conflict was sucha breath of fresh air, like we would all expecting those two to try to kill each other like we have seem dozens or more times.

Now my only hope is that now that we have been introduced to the token female character is that she is actually useful and gets things done instead of becoming a none entity like it is usually the case.
