Also i think this might be considered a madhouse classic in the foreseeable future

I can't second this enough. I'm just glad to hear that someone else is enjoying this show as much as I am. But I agree that if they can nail the ending. It will become a madhouse classic.

If they can nail the ending it will become one of my favourite anime ever. I wanna see Sonny Boy succeed so bad.

sonny boy deserves more love, people are really against the allegorical nature of the show because it’s confusing, but i really like that aspect of having to figure things out yourself.

also yeah, it’s weird that no one talks about the different animation style, character design and visuals (that i find beautiful) and the ost and sound design which is very well put together.

although with the way that people are divided on it, and the low rating that it’s getting - even amongst the japanese community - it pains me to say that sonny boy will likely fade in obscurity within a few months of it ending.

That makes two of us. The reason I want this to succeed so bad because it's probably one of the more original and out there anime I've watched in a long time. So here's hoping that it'll have a fantastic ending and get a good score. That way other people can check it out.

I also love this anime, get inception vibes but more confusing. But I don’t know if I can imagine an ending now, I feel the mc’s are wandering between stories for the last couple of episodes. Unless they throw in a curve ball that they get to go back to the old world, but I find that’s an unrealistic view?..

for me at its current state it will be definitely a solid 8/9 but if the ending is good enough, it will be a 10, for me it will be hard to fuck it up. Either way it will go to my favorites

i hope that doesn't happen but well as people say in my country, honey is not made for the mouth of the donkey xddd. I can understand its criticism to some extent because its not a straightforward story so it can be harder to enjoy depending on what you are used to but people, at least from what ive gathered lurking in the mal forums, just textually say "i don't understand it so its trash" and don't even try to ask or put some brains into it they just irrationally categorize it as straight up garbage. Besides that, I really wish this show won't be forgotten because its not just putting something different into the table, but also it's a returning to 80s-90s Madhouse, when they gave the director carte blanche to exploit his creativity, and its sad that people don't appreciate all this behind-the-curtain stuff

I think Sonny Boy has a few good messages scattered throughout the season. Episode 6 is awesome and I would've been content if it just ended there. I'm just curious on how Sonny Boy will wrap up.

From my perspective all the reception I've seen of Sonny Boy has been positive. Really depends on the people you choose to interact with. I've seen nothing but endless praise for it within the sakuga community and older anime fans.

Sonny Boy doesn't do much to spoonfeed viewers anything, you have to be attentive at all times while watching it. There are subtle character movements and gestures that tell you alot about the characters non-verbally. There's the constant foreshadowing through it's imagery throughout the series . It essentially a showcase of the current and upcoming talent pool of Madhouse, We got the old: Shingo Natsume and then the new like Keiichirou Saitou, Daiki Harashina and Nobuhide Kariya who will likely direct series in the future.

In the present the show might get overlook in comparison to some other bigger mainstream name, but in retrospect it'll likely get more acclaim over time for it ambitiousness.

Weird. People won’t shut up about how amazing it is on Reddit. I really liked episodes 1 through 6, but now I’m really not sure what’s going on now. Are the students just gonna keep hoping worlds or something ?

Forum has mostly been shonen fans who watch every single seasonal show they hear a YouTuber talk about whining the show isn't that simple

honestly I don't think the show is complex as people say it is, it just doesn't give YOU the answers and wants YOU to interpret the show for yourself

The show is not for everybody but people see that more as "this isn't for me, so it's inherently bad"

sadly it is what it is and also in Japan it has received mixed reviews, but apparently in reddit and other forums there's a general agreement in that this show is very good. Glad you also like it!

Doesn't surprise me that the people giving this show praise are brainlets on Reddit.

When complimenting a show if the first thing you go to is the visuals and not the story chances are the show is bad. The only people who claim to like this show are people who think they're bigger brained than anyone else but at the same time their favorite character is Sasuke and no one understands them!

Madhouse is literally trying to be Shaft with this and make their own obscure confusing show that has lovely animation, but they're not Shaft, they're madhouse. While yeah show is beautiful and stunning ect, they just absolutely failed on the plotline and tried to go too hard with the edginess.

This show was a complete flop and I'm very very disappointed it is, the first episode or two made it seem like it had true potential but it didn't continue, it got worse.

However, there is something absolutely fantastic about this show and plotline, it creates the perfect red flag. Anyone who claims to like this show for the plotline is someone you should thoroughly avoid.

cry and whine as much as you want this reply makes no sense. Literally nobody points out just the visuals or the visuals first as the story is very good too and it is told in a different way than most anime do. Second of all, let me correct your statement: Shaft was trying to be Madhouse. Madhouse its just going back to its roots and wtf the plotline can be anything except edgy. It almost can be considered as wholesome. This show is just a creative rant by Shingo Natsume and everyone should appreciate that, because this type of production has never been done since mid 2000s and its beautiful to see something like that come back. At last, if you don't want to point out anything that could actually be useful then shut up

I would agree that this presents itself as an intellectual anime, and is begging to be worshipped by "critics" and "veteran weebs". But at the same time I would argue that pretentiousness is literally the physical manifestation of a director's confidence. All legendary classics were pretentious. Pretentiousness and trying to be something more than what everyone is asking for are not inherently bad things.

this is pretty anecdotal. For me and for most people commenting here the animation is usually one of the last thing's mentioned.

This seems to me to be someone's passion project. From what I've heard the director of One Punch Man wrote and directed this show. This isn't some kind of industrial "imitation". This is a guy trying to make his dream story. The kind of story that you will show to producers but they will always turn it down because it's not marketable in Japan.
This show is also barely edgy at all. Almost no nihilism, a solid mix of positive and negative outlooks, and a bright colour palette.

drip said:

I think you need to ask yourself two questions
1. what were you expecting out of this show?
2. in what way is it "getting worse"?
this is the kind of show that doesn't really have a precedent in anime. If you come in with any expectations, it's not going to fulfil them.
And so therefore the question is, how exactly is it bad?

drip said:
However, there is something absolutely fantastic about this show and plotline, it creates the perfect red flag. Anyone who claims to like this show for the plotline is someone you should thoroughly avoid.

I don't want to say the cliche "you just don't get ____" line because that's usually just a copout so you don't have to engage with the other person.
So instead I'm just going to try and explain my rationalisation of the anime. First of all - it's episodic. Is that a bad thing? I would say no. The problem with episodic shows is that each episode feels like a complete story, and so there's no emotional need to seek out another one. And that is only a problem depending on how you consume anime. Watching this as it is airing feels to me to be the exact way this show should be consumed. You are presented with a whole story that gives you a sense of catharsis and resolution at the end of every episode but keeping the overall story unresolved so the show can continue. Bingeing this probably won't be as entertaining as watching it air weekly.
Second of all - it's ambiguous. It's hard to say how much of this show is going to remain as such. Some of it may be resolved by the conclusion of the show, and the rest will be left for us to speculate. I will agree that the show doesn't have a clear overall plot - partially as a result of the episodic storytelling and partially as a result of it's ambiguous direction, but is that necessarily a bad thing? It's certainly not conventional - especially for an anime. But isn't that the whole appeal of the show?
So this begs the question: is ambiguity inherently deep and mature?
Presenting ideas and providing a framework to examine them without giving a clear answer certainly allows people to search for their own answers - which is a good thing. It's good when a show is making you think, especially with a lot of the more complex and ethical subjects the show has covered. But at the same time it's important that a show should actually draw conclusions and make some kind of statement. The best movies are the ones that have unconsciously taught you something, and part of the enjoyment of movies is their exploration and resolution of moral dilemmas. If a show is too ambiguous you don't end up learning anything, and there's no feeling of thematic resolution.

I think a better litmus test of people are the people who like FMA and the people who dislike FMA. Now that FMAB exists, the majority opinion on the original FMA is that it is bad not just because it differs from the source material, but because it doesn't have a proper resolution that gives the viewer a sense of catharsis. While FMAB leaves you feeling fulfilled and satisfied, FMA leaves you feeling empty and unsatisfied. I find that people who dislike the original FMA anime tend to also dislike anything on the more extreme end of ambiguity.
where do you fall on the FMA litmus test?
-P.S. there's nothing wrong with disliking this show. But disliking it and calling it objectively bad are two different things, and if you're thick enough to call this objectively bad before it's ended then you are just being an aggressive contrarian

And yep.. this anime finally ends

TBH, i really REALLY enjoy this anime, engaged by the visual, and then in love with the story

Some people might think this show is actually deep but.. for me it's not really deep but taught me some lessons..

I started to appreciate friends and relatives i have(even though not many friends and relatives, but they are all very kind)
I may not ready to get out from comfort lonely bubble space like Nagara, but i need to because i realized that i won't stay young forever, i have to overcome obstacles

The episodes in Sonny Boy is pretty much like some healing method just by watching it, especially by the characters (my fav for healing is at episode 7 and 10, i really like Futatsuboshi's and Kossetsu's dialogue and interaction there)

The soundtrack and visual.. they are amazing ofcourse, how could i say not

Nagara's development.. is really good for me! He may not change so much in 2 years but hey, can you see the difference of him at episode 1 and finale? He is matured, though not much but.. he seems more enjoy and accepting his life with positivity now

Favorite character? Nagara for sure
I love anime characters who are calm but they also still got motivation to continue their life

The Final Episode opinion from me
Satisfying enough for me, not really happy, but not really sad too

I sound like some edgy teenager now describing how much i love this anime now www, but hey i don't really love all heavy or brain activator anime thing, i also like relaxing anime that maybe doesn't have good quality in people eyes but it's good and enjoyable for me

I'm very sorry for my bad english grammar, please correct some word if they are not correct 🙏
Edit: sorry i remove the final episode paragraph thoughts since i can't do spoiler tag with it :'

I agree with you that it needs more love but I would say that a large portion of people watching anime are pretty close-minded, and need some sort of proper story with whatever genre involved that they prefer. Ultimately, I think the people who are open-minded to shows in general will be able to enjoy this show the most. Personally I think it's great, loved the OST, even bought the CD. But I always got to remind myself not to get saddened seeing a shows I like get negativity towards it, such as this one. My friend and I watched it weekly, and even though my friend is more analytical when watching anime compared to me, we both greatly enjoyed it. All that matters is that the people that watched it and gave it a fair chance decided if they liked it or not.

well the point of this thread was to show some positivity when it was getting a lot of hate xddd. I agree with your opinion, but the fact that a lot of people just gave it hate with no argumentation is very discouraging and will get this show less exposure and more negativity, not even giving it an opportunity or understanding that maybe they don't like it because its not made for them. Idk if i explained myself correctly xddd

My friend and I watched it weekly, and even though my friend is more analytical when watching anime compared to me, we both greatly enjoyed it. All that matters is that the people that watched it and gave it a fair chance decided if they liked it or not.

well the point of this thread was to show some positivity when it was getting a lot of hate xddd. I agree with your opinion, but the fact that a lot of people just gave it hate with no argumentation is very discouraging and will get this show less exposure and more negativity, not even giving it an opportunity or understanding that maybe they don't like it because its not made for them. Idk if i explained myself correctly xddd

Yeah, what your saying makes sense to me. Thing is, most people just want to argue that they don't like or enjoy something with no actual reason behind it. So it's not worth caring about people's negativity if they don't have any backing behind it. At least its a complete story, so we don't need to worry about a 2nd season being made or not, also having less exposure does makes the show a little more special.

At times where mostly heavy emotional animes take the top. It's nice to have something as mysterious, poetic, and deep as Sonny Boy that delivers its story and meaning in the most simple yet beautiful way.
