So, I just read the 100th chapter and all I have to say is that Tougen Anki is about as generic as shounen gets. I can't feasibly imagine how this series has reached the 100 chapter mark, yet here we are.
STORY - 5/10
Boring. Very, very generic shounen arcs. Tragic backstories to make you feel bad for the good guys, completely unjustifiably evil villains for the sake of someone for them to fight.
ART - 5/10
Probably the best feature of the series. It's good albeit samey. Major case of same face syndrome with all the male characters, to the point where I actually cannot tell them apart sometimes. Again, it's just boring. Clothes, hands and weapons are drawn with a lot of detail, but when you're seeing the exact same poses over and over, and the majority of the characters wear the exact same outfit, it gets immensely repetitive.
CHARACTER - 3/10
Don't get me wrong, the characters are quite differentiated from one another and usually have their own unique backstory/reason for their powers, but how can I care about that when none of them are relatable whatsoever? Their stories are so generic that I can't empathise with any of them and when I can't even tell them apart by design, what else is there?
Don't even get me started on the female characters. There are minimal women in this series, and the few times they're shown to be relevant, they're drawn in this weird, almost fetishistic way - huge boobs, no waist, massive hips. They're there to be looked at, but they're so weirdly deformed that I can't imagine anyone even liking them for their designs, making their lack of personality even more egregious.
I can't even remember any of their names aside from the MC.
ENJOYMENT - 5/10
Now, this series can't be completely pointless if I've managed to read 100 chapters of it, but I think I'm borderline hate-reading at this point.
If you like formulaic shounen that's just like everything else out there but more mediocre, then this is the series for you.
