World Trigger 2nd Season

After successfully holding off the invasion by Aftokrator, the Border Defense Agency prepares an away mission into the Neighbor's dimension. However, like in previous scouting expeditions, only A-rank teams are certain to secure a spot. As the B-rank wars continue, Osamu Mikumo and the rest of Tamakoma-2 quickly fight to the top in an attempt to obtain a promotion before the operation begins.

Meanwhile, a new Neighbor ship approaches Border Headquarters. Noticing that the attackers are targeting the Border Expedition Ship, forces are hastily sent to combat them. However, with fewer squads available due to the proceeding rank wars, the organization is sent into disarray. This latest offensive from the Neighbors shrouds the fate of the all-important expedition ship in uncertainty.

World trigger .... a new type generation of shounen anime , you wont easily find anime like this that has weak mc, strategies fight , or their weapon system , thats why i really like this anime with its unique style done by toei (props to toei) for bringing us such a good sequel from previous season 1

wanted to review as best as i can.

story : 9

a new aliens appear out of nowhere to invade their world and theres few people who fight against them , later on they build a base specifically to defend their world against aliens or known as "Neighbour". the story ... is revolve around Mikumo Osamu who encounter his first neighbour , and thats kuuga. when he met kuuga everything changed , after big scale fight kuuga joined Border to help their teammate save their brother and friends and here we are filled with good fight with a lot of strategies. the story is really great for me but its your typical shounen. but eitherway no problem i still like how the author write this manga and its story.

Art : 10

the arts is really improving 100% for sure , back then on season 1 everyone complain about how bad the art is compared to today , even tho back then the anime itself had a chance to be one of the top 10 shounen. but as you can see rn the art is really improving and you should watch it , you wont regret !

Sound : 9

all i could say is good job for toei and all the voice actor for voicing such good anime.

Character : 10

the character is very good with all their big iq brain xD , and yeah quite decent, adorable, funny , something like that.

Enjoyment : 10

I really enjoy it even back then when s1 was considered quite bad but it doesnt matter for me as long as their fight is immensely good with all their team fight. you also will find it amazing trust me.

Note before overall rating.

If you dont like weak mc but with quite clever mind and strategies + they're improving with quite slow pace , then you should as well skip this anime because this anime is not for you. go watch your typical OP MC with minimum progression or growth character.

Overall : 9

9/10 is my solid rating for this anime, such a good series. enjoy it to the fullest !

honestly all i could only say is thankyou TOEI. XD

There is NOTHING like this.

While the studio butchered the animation on the first season, they did this season GOOD! I must admit that my score IS biased but my review is NOT. So please allow me to tell you why there is nothing like this show and if it's for you.

Why there is nothing like this show? I also have no clue, BUT, what is this show in the first place? Not the synopsis, not the FAQs or setting, but what makes it unique. The answer is, TACTICS.

I have never seen an anime that even comes close to how this title showcases tactics. You ... see, everything is laid out, which means there is no over the top power and there are no out of nowhere mc'guffin. Everything is out which means everyone is on a very level playing field so when it's a gigantic free for all, we see how people having access to the same equipment utilize them differently and creatively to one up their opponents. And the scenes and wins are genuinely amazing and earned because we fully understand what is happening!

So far, this is the closest to a PvP anime that I've ever come across. Most teams are competent enough to give the MC team a run for their money and so are most enemies so you are always at the edge of your seat.

If this was NOT my bias, I'd still score it 8.5/10. It's really good and there really is nothing like this at the moment to the detriment of anime in general.

So if you like tactics, NOT just thinking MC but a thinking cast that reasons out offense, defense and counters, you will LOVE this show.

Mixed Feelings

A self stylized "Grounded Shonen" which has some of the best world building and tactic focused combat. This is one of the most fiercely intelligent shows I've watched in a while when it comes to fighting, this isn't "super sayian beat by super sayian 2", this is anyone can beat anyone if their tactics are better, but at the same time still a clear hierarchy of skill sets so you know who the underdog is and who isn't. The later half and biggest chunk is a bunch squad vs. squad combat when it really comes into its own and it's all about ... tactics, flanking manoeuvres, bluffing, misdirection, and using established tools, abilities, and weapons in new unique and creative ways. A lot of fights don't boil down to "whose stronger", they boil down to which team thought the most steps ahead or could adapt to a changing situation the quickest.

However, biggest pitfall is it's TOEI production which means it can be maddeningly inconsistent at times in regards to animation, pacing, and repetition is especially bad in the early episodes. The first 8-14 episodes are kind of a slog and often large chunks of later episodes are dedicated to recaps of previous episodes. The characters are also a tad more "muted" for my interest, but that might be to the show's benefit for the kind of action scenes it wants to show. But, if you skip the lengthy recaps (luckily most of them are at the beginning of every episode) and get passed the initial rough boring slog the show steadily improves itself in every problem area from episode 20 onward, getting better pacing, animation, and subtle exposition.

The first season ended in 2014, but it came back with a season 2 and 3 (26 episodes total) in 2021 and the sequel stuff is TOP NOTCH. All the issues I listed above are gone and with all the pieces/world building well established it is 26 episodes of minimal recap, solid to gorgeous animation, and all the other squad tactical stuff that made the first season good.
