| The manga became repetitive and boring. Let's hope the pacing and other problem will be solved in the anime version |
| Surprised that this out of all the Jump manga is getting an anime adaptation. But good for Fujimaki, I guess. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Another action comedy in the style of "a cool fighting professional gets into comedic silly situations"? Is Spy x Family still that influential? |
 |
| Was Kill Blue axed recently?, because I'm surprised that the manga got an anime adaptation as it wasn't nearly as popular as Skaamoto Days in Weekly Shonen Jump or Spy x Family. |
 |
| Nepotism didn't stop the axe, but did get it an anime, smh. |
 |
| Omg let’s go!! I’ve been wanting to read the manga. I’m glad it’s getting adapted. |
      |
| good director and animation looking solid, will read the manga (which apparently got axed) and look forward to it. |
| I enjoyed Kill Blue's weekly chapters despite writing a not recommended review for it's manga, the rumoured axing of it being causal of it's abrupt ending was just so detrimental to the series as a whole for me. Hopefully a short anime will be able to get it's pacing right. This series has potential to be something fun. |
there's a meaning to that  |
