Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (5/12 eps)
This actually could've been an ok and enjoyable anime, but its nothing too special and I assure you someone will make an anime with this type of setting that's better, one who also doesn't make fun of the transgender community. Yes, sadly that is why I cannot enjoy this because the creator or producer or whoever of this anime decided it was ok to make fun of transgender folk. This starts in episode 2 with Wolf-kun and each episode there after (I only saw 5 and dropped it) has at least one instance of someone making fun of AND disrespecting Wolf-kun with female pronounces, sexual harassment and the misuse of the Japanese honorifics system to boot. Maybe the Dub will handle this better (Doubtful for episode 2) but I somehow doubt it. If you're going to make someone whose transgender in your work, then you NEED to show them the PROPER respect they deserve, no matter what being you created them as, we ALL are beings who deserve respect! I will say the same thing for the LGB+ community too but especially the T community whose more at risk than any other group!

Now, as I said, this anime is nothing special but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its charm (Though kinda hard to like the charm given the above). Minus the instances of mistreatment of Wolf-kun, this anime is ok at best and its cool that it covers the process of monster making to take down sentai/power rangers. It incorporates real world stuff like schedules, deadlines, compromises, low budget, bosses you work for and more. The characters, minus any instances of making fun of Wolf-kun, are actually ok to good. Honestly though, there's nothing more to say about this anime without spoilers (Not that there are many if any that I could see) and no, I wouldn't consider Wolf-kun a spoiler, though I AM incredibly disappointed in Japan for oking this in 2022 and anyone who dubs this and doesn't correct it if that happens. Anyway, if the mistreatment of someone whose transgender wasn't mistreated, then this anime would most likely have been rated a 7.0 by me and not dropped, but it's not and I cannot overlook (nor should you) and move past this when it happens in each episode. Its a shame really. So I rate this anime a 6.0, it deserves less if Wolf-kun is mistreated even more.
