For a show that uses a lot of inspiration from other, better creations, this was boring as hell.
We have:
- heroes who pull skills and powers out of their asses with no build up whatsoever.
- a shitty death cop-out.
- a talking cat with a crescent moon on his forehead.
- a tournament.
- villains with a cliche, boring, totally predictable tragic backstory and as a bonus we even have two siblings on the opposite sides of a really badly explained conflict.
I don’t mind some of those tropes. If they are done well. Surprise, surprise here they are not. They just end up creating something like a shitty drink made by mixing all the booze You like without thinking if it's a good idea, and no, the fact that the show is self aware to an extent does not absolve it from still using those tropes.
The story is… ok I guess. Nothing outside of a standard shonen anime. If You saw Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball, Naruto… hell… even Fairy Tail, then You already know what will happen 99% of the time. Once again, not bad per se, just a bit boring.
Honestly If You’re held at gunpoint I guess there are worse anime to watch. This one is even solid in its mediocrity and predictability.
“Jack of all trades, master of none” is a perfect description of this.
