Honestly, i enjoyed everything i ve seen By ikluhara til date i have yet to see Sarazanmai but i heard mixed things it feels like only die-hard Ikuhara fans care for it at this point Heck i even know some fans of Ikuhara who drooped the show i heard mixed things it also got ranked very low on MALs rankings and dont get me wrong am not that kind of person who judges a show by its rank popularity or public opinion but i got surprised due to the hype that was surrounding the show before it started airing

Its really meh at most. At worst it's outright uninteresting.

I had almost considered watching it, especially after discovering those two sexy police uniform guys.

But, it looks a little too weird for me.

I'm not Ikuhara fan and this anime is one of the best I've ever seen. It has lgbt characters without any fetishizing, great showcase how some people are able to risk everything for their loved ones and beautiful art and music.

Based on the 6 episodes of Sarazanmai that have aired,I find it to be a very good anime.
Firstly,I love the animation and the art style.
Secondly,I like the character design.I would not say that the main cast have a unique backstory but I think they have a good depth to their character.
Thirdly,and most importantly the plot is unique unlike the other seasonal anime.I dislike generic anime with the same tropes being repeated.The quirkiness and seriousness also has a right balance.
To conclude, I would say the series does not have any ciffhanger kind of episodes but each episode is packed with the right amount of humor and action, leaving you satisfied.

Valid point. I myself do not think that it is deep but as for the plot 'rinse and repeat'that takes up about 3 minutes out of a 20 minute episode and is not even the main part.

Watched only the first episode, while I appreciate the production value, it's too over the top crazy for my the taste.

Dropped after 3 episodes.
The comedy was supposed to be "weird" but is just pure cringe.

This thing was immediately blacklisted because of Ikuhara being involved in it when I first heard about it, so no opinion. I find his works repellant and not to my taste. Things I've read about since have convinced me I was right to pass on it.

I've watched everything Ikuhara's made except for Sailor Moon (which I'm currently watching) and so far Sarazanmai is the best thing he's made since Utena.

Personally, I think Sarazanmai (so far) is amazing: the art style, the fluid animation during "fight" scenes, the OST, the voice acting, the characters, everything is top-notch. Yeah, I see why it's not to everyone, being so over-the-top and "weird". Regarding the "rinse and repeat", I see it as Ikuhara's style, along with all the wanky rest. So far, I'm loving it, but my assessment probably is a bit skewed.

Note: OD/ED are incredible as well.

Unless you're a fan or admire any of Ikuhara's visual directing most of responds can be summarize by the following; weird, pretentious, ridicuosly, "bad animation" and other nonsenses that many people aren't quite used to see from any or any of Ikuhara's work. And this is coming from someone who use to dislike Ikuhara as a director. As for the show I'm more or less pleased with it's central themes and overall directing (as expected from Ikuhara).
