Well think it’s fair to say this has “worst anime of the season” locked up. An hour and a half after release and no one on MAL even made a thread for it. This episode was a little better than the first, but it’s hard to take anything seriously here. It’s an anime ass anime and in the worst possible way. Story is wacky, nonsensical and not the good type. There’s some real seiyuu power here, but it’s wasted on a subpar show. Of course I never drop anything so I’ll power thru but low expectations for this.

this show is so bad i'm enjoying every second of it. i can't tell if it's self aware of how bad it is or if it's actually trying to be good but it's definitely entertaining. i have no idea what to rate this mess but i'm looking forward to whatever other bullshit they throw at us

hopefully there will be a plot twist in later episodes because this is mediocre action show so far

Honestly, the animation is great, there are also some great city views early on.

However, the story seems to be like its just something improvised with a lot of holes in it/lackluster of character.

Episode 1 wasn't that bad until the suits and the narrator showed up also.

This may turn out to be an episodic show of just going for borderlanders with a lackluster character which is quite dissapointing.

This episode was downright hilarious. Especially the scene when the Rock and Buff Fred have a bunch of AKs pointed at them so The Rock decides to throw Buff Fred off a cliff then just runs by everyone saying "Sorry, I have to save my friend" before diving in after him.

This episode was so stupid it was funny. The Rock really pulled a Drax and thought he was invisible 🤣🤣

Brian Nightraid getting his real introduction with the hilariously bad UN's B-movie-like sequence of the Borderlanders, and from one moment to another, the Marginal Service is sent packing and looking for weird mushrooms that can be made into drugs in this Jukai land, all while Bolts and Robin are bickering over muscles.

Getting targeted by armored Borderlanders, and the threat is very real, especially coming off from Zeno who prefers to work alone. But eventually they reach the drug manufacturing plant, which for Brian he continues being useless while the trio prove themselves more effective than most.

This show, indeed, is so bad...it's good...or bad? Still have to see more.

I'm honestly enjoying it, it's certainly not a masterpiece of story but the characters are funny, they also chose some very interesting and well-known voice actors for it. Despite being an original thing they didn't bother to put some money in some good quality animations (they're not at Demon Slayer's level of course but there's definitely far worse than this). And of course we're all here for the naked men

I can define my experience with these two chapters as (((awkward laughs))). It's not the jewel of the season by far, but I don't think it's that bad, I don't understand why it seems to be so hated. It's "funny", unfortunately there are no naked men.

The lack of naked men is why it's flopping for me. I didn't come here for plot, characters, or some thinly-veiled commentary on immigration that may or may not be intentional. You can't put naked men on the cover and not give us the naked men.

i actually think this show is so bad that it's good. it's like watching a house burn. horrible, but you can't take your eyes off it. that being said, i still don't think it's an objectively good show, but it's entertaining enough at least

I appreciate the Schwarzenegger references (lots to Predator, think the above is Commando), but that's the only nice thing I can say. Sorry.

I have nothing to latch on to with any of these characters.

The defacto joyless pill new partner (with the default dead loved ones backstory, natch) and Copaganda protag spend the whole episode being insufferable at each other (are they trying for sexual tension/BL bait? Because they're failing). Yankee's chemistry with Limey is about as inert, even with the Fastball Special antics. And it looks like, rather than anime's answer to MIB or Monsters vs Aliens, this is just gonna be another "comedy" of chucklefucks failing their way through every episode.

There's so much better to watch, this season and in the backlog. Godspeed to everyone who sticks with this. If it gets better, lmk.

I dont really blame you. This ep did have some small funny moments for me but for the most part, at the moment, characters are rather bland for me and story hasnt really hooked me much. I def will continue just to see how far this goes tho.

This episode had some good buddy cop comedy! The story and characters aren't quite there yet, but it feels more like a slow starter, rather than just bad. 

I hope it continues to improve next week.

"Damn it, I learned to swim"... Until this episode, I still didn't know if it would be a fun series. I really enjoyed this crazy chapter! I didn't expect to laugh and I laughed in many scenes! 🤣🤣

5 minutes in, and I had the urge to rewatch the OP song, but with better visuals.


Then I went to do a bunch of other stuff, and it took me a couple of hours before I managed to finish the episode... What I'm saying is that it's simply not interesting. This is a typical case of top-tier seiyuu promoting a sub-par anime. I tried, but nope, I'm not going to watch this anymore.

A slow start with EP 1. I wasn't sure where it was going but EP 2 definitely turned up the humor. compared to other anime this season I can see how this falls short but I think it is holding its own.

The wacky humor is all over the place In a good way. it's flaw so far is taking alot to set up the plot cuz I'm not really sure where they are going with it, other then maybe a episode to episode based show with no overall plot. Reminds me of early Gintama and I love it.

I think it's a show that you shouldn't take too seriously. Like when you want to watch something that doesn't require you to think too hard and you just want something campy. Liked that Peck finally talked and he (it?) doesn't sound like classic Ucchi. I'll keep watching for the seiyuu power!

The most ridiculous anime of this season, a weak and boring story and ridiculous character design that made me stop watching this anime.

On the one hand, it's a really sloppy work - writing is disjointed, characters are stupid cliches, jokes are all over the place...
On the other - I'm actually enjoying it.

Honestly the best things about this series are the cast and Peck Desmond. But although it's wacky and stupid I'm not that bored. I kinda like it but def isn't a masterpiece

We didn't get naked men, but half the cast consists of himbos. I hope the rest of this show is just the characters being chaotic idiots, because this ep was way better than the more grounded ep before it.
