Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (11/52 eps)
On paper the story is nice, the characters are nice, the world and everything, the problem is that after watching 11 episodes, I was unable to get hooked on the series. For me it didn't come to a point where I feel like "I need to watch another episode to see what happens", every time I was about to watch an episode, I had to force myself to do it, every time with great effort. After 11 episodes, I realized I should not force this anymore and just leave it.

It was never bad, just kind of average all around, I really can't say anything negative about the series, the visuals are nice, the sounds are nice, animation is good, the story is not following the usual templates. I have a feeling that if I was watching this at the time it released - in 2025 and was 13-14 years old, as I was at the time, I would have liked this a lot more, but now it feels a bit childish and predictable.

What got me interested in this was I drew some parallels between it and Hunter X Hunter where the protagonist goes on adventures, chases after someone dear to him, gets a group of friends, but I think HxH did the intro much better, by episode 11, it was knee deep into the story and the stakes were high, by episode 11 Bouken ou Beet feels like the first 2 minutes of One Piece episode 1 - still nothing exciting has happened. Before One Piece episode 1 ended, I already knew I was going to watch the sh*t out of that anime and make it my top anime, by episode 11 for Bouken ou Beet, I was still struggling to find reasons to keep watching it and not drop it.


TL;DR: Not bad, just painfully average.
