I very recently watched this show after MANY years of people recommending it to me. After watching it, I'm very mixed on this show. I didn't grow up/watching this anime so I don't have that much nostalgia tied with it and I'm watching it as a adult so at this point, I have seen MANY Animes (In my opinion) much better than this one before it. ( Dont kill me lol)
This Anime is not bad for the time it came out and it probably would of seemed quite unique & well done, at the time. I sadly see a few flaws going on with the anime though.
I think the writing and story telling is very childlike for a "R rated" anime. For example, Just characters overreacting at tiny things and it going on for episodes. I understand these characters are children's but the writers aren't lol. (Again, dont kill me lol) But for another example, where the main characters would come up with strange ideas on how to fix problems and it just seems so backwards sometimes.
Also, It just gets very weird at the halfway point after the Anime starts going way off the manga and starts getting way off topic of the main characters, just wasn't that enjoyable for me to watch.
Overall, I think if I was kid or teen and watched this when it came out, I'd probably also have nostalgia glasses on for this show and think its a 10/10 but sadly, That isn't the case for me. I still definitely recommend for people that want to try out the anime if they are curious about it.
