The art of Sonny Boy and the story is, for a lack of a better term, weird. A school is transported into a void, some students gain powers, and the ultimate goal is to return home. Each episode has it own unique theme and underlying message, which I honestly had to rely on comment threads to actually understand. I think many might be a little biased in claiming this show to be a masterpiece because of how complex it is with the all-star production line-up. Do you just view it as a masterpiece because it takes a high IQ to understand, or does this actually resonate deeply with you?
I personally did not develop enough of a connection to the characters to stay on top of this show during the season. I was more happy watching dumb fun shows like Girlfriend Girlfriend or Jahy-sama, and that might be more on me and where my priorities were at the time. But Sonny Boy really felt like a chore at times. The messages were often too cryptic, having me befuddled at the end of the episode wondering what just happened. Many took enjoyment breaking down every scene, but for my first watch I wasn't hooked to that degree. I still find it worth a watch, but just be ready to turn your thinking caps on. Might try to watch this again some other day.
