Had to quit this generic shitshow of an anime and picked up the manga to see if it actually improves but boy was I wrong, the manga is just as awful, maybe even worse. The Characters are super unlikeable & generic, like I have frickin seen this same set so many times in other works. Plus this is like a copy of other manga/anime meshed together; the likes of Erased+Steins;gate, but I wouldn't critique it for this, since maybe they come off as inspiration.
Anyway, Story: 1/10. This is a show about Juvenile Delinquents in middle school, bunch of teenage boys who come together to play gangster, fight and nearly beating each other to death. Where are the fucking adults is one thing that comes to mind, you never see the teachers or parents, ignore the fact that the MC is a fucking adult who goes back in time to his teenage years cause that's about all you get. These kids go on about as if they is in an anarchy system, all around organizing fights, and almost killing each other, sometimes someone ends up dead.
The plot has no originality whatsoever, the time travel isn't even explored or properly gotten into, heck the characters do not even seem too shocked about the whole time travel stuff. They just go on about it as if it's something normal, the reaction to the entire time travel thing is just sad. The anime doesn't get any better, Takemitchy the MC is as useless as they come, the biggest Crybaby you'd ever see, in every episode this guy is crying. Like Fucking Amano Yukiteru & that loser from gleipnir are much better characters, development & character wise. The story keeps circling over and over again with the littlest changes. Pretty much all the MC does is cry and vent about how fucking useless he is. Plot remains stagnant, doesn't go anywhere from starting point.
Art: 5/10. Mediocre art style, nothing unique. Not horrible & not even good. Well I don't got much to say about artstyle, I pretty much watch everything without criticizing the animation. But even I can identify great quality animation when I see one and appreciate.
Sound: same as art. The OP/Ed isn't my cup of tea. Find myself skipping both, nothing special honestly.
Characters: 1/10. I can't even stress the weakness of the characters in this anime. Most times the author goes for self-pity, yeah let's all pity this one guy & he's just being a shitty person for this and that reason bullshit. Oh yeah, in the upcoming bloody halloween arc, we get to meet one of the founders of the Toman gang, the reason for why he goes bad & turned against em is so fucking😂😂😂😂 I can't even, lemme nor spoil, see for yourselves.
Honestly the characters are bland, uninteresting and the MC is just the worst, a crybaby that never changes.
Enjoyment: 1/10. Literally forced myself into watching this, would've so quit at EP3, but a friend kept raving about how it gets better & bullshit. I don't regret picking this up, it is just so horrible, not good, not even a little.
Well I guess there's a target audience and I honestly can't comprehend how the score for it is so high lol.
Overall: 2/10. This is a dreadful anime for me, with horrible pacing and Toddler level writing.
