So I just saw a post on Instagram about some anime called 'Sakugan'. I got kind of interested in it because it looked like the studio TRIGGER had animated it. And because my experience with 2 of TRIGGER's anime has been pretty good, I thought why not watch this? But now I know that it isn't TRIGGER which animated it lol. But still, it looks really interesting. Although it has a pretty decent score of around 7.5, I am ok with that. I mean, you can find some gems even though other people may or may not like it right? So is it worth watching? Or should I not watch it? I really haven't watched much anime so I don't actually have much experience about all the different genres and also I really am not into seasonals. But this season Is really good I must say. We have Komi can't communicate, Platinum End, Demon Slayer S2, Takt. OP Destiny, Mieruko chan etc. And yes I have added all of them on my ptw list. Also I have added sakugan just for the time being but still if you guys tell me to not watch it I'll just not watch it or watch it later. I know that only 2 episodes have aired yet and it's difficult to form an opinion just based on only 2 episodes but still, even if it's just okay and nothing much special then also I am ready to watch it. Also is it an original anime or adapted from a manga/light novel?
Hope y'all help :)

The 2 eps so far were pretty good. They served as a good introduction and build a basis for a good plot. Also the world building has really high potential and gives me certain Made in Abyss vibes. If you have the time for it watch the first 2-3 episodes and decide for yourself, but I think its one of the better seasonals this season.

I don't know, this is a mix of Deca Dence and Made in Abyss, if you compare their first two eps with SAKUGAN, SAKUGAN is definitely worst in every aspect.

At the moment 5,5/10. Of course this can change.

first 2 episodes were promising but too early to say anything, original anime is like a minefield

Instagram - cringe. Score of 7.5 - a meaningless number, grow up and learn to form your own opinions. I haven't watched much anime - obviously. This season is really good - everything you list is shit, and you haven't even watched them yet so you're just parroting other people's bullshit. Is it an original or adaptation - look on the bloody entry page, it's right there.

That aside, it's very good from the first 2 episodes, so you'd do well to watch it. As for it resembling TRIGGER's work, that's because Junichi Wada takes a lot of cues from Sawano's early work, particularly in the use of smearable character designs with very movement-oriented instances of emoting.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

It has had a really nice start imo. Ep 1 had a very good first few minutes all in 2D animation, and then for 3 minutes there was a CGI moment about 17 minutes in. I'm not going to spoil anything tho. Personally, I liked ep 1 but i have to rewatch it fully to remember everything.

Ep 2 was HEAVILY action packed. Almost all of it was CGI and made much better than in ep 1. I really liked how it was done.

The story reminds me a lot of Made in Abyss, an anime you have to watch but not now (it's a dark anime) and I like how it is going right now pace wise. The soundtrack also seems pretty good, just like Made in Abyss (you NEED to listen to Made in Abyss' soundtrack at some point).

There is not much else to say without spoiling stuff so you should try and see what the first several episodes are like. Then you can decide whether or not to continue.

Meaningless number - you grow up and understand that if an anime has a low score it probably sucks or just doesn't work. "Haven't watched much anime - obviously" - no that doesn't always mean obviously. If you're new to anime you'd like to check out the new anime coming out each season. Everything you list is shit - opinion lol. Some of them seem pretty good from what I've heard. Look on the bloody entry page - ok calm down. Even I don't know that you can tell if it's original or not from that page.

It's been pretty decent so far, and it has only 2 episodes out so I can't really say for sure. So why not?

From what I've heard, it seems that there is a novel, but it hasn't been translated so it is still in Japanese. That's probably why people can't find it.

What's "wrong" supposed to mean?

Oh really? Why might you think that is the case?

You'll find, of course, there is no justification you can give that doesn't rely on fallacy.

"Haven't watched much anime - obviously" - no that doesn't always mean obviously. If you're new to anime you'd like to check out the new anime coming out each season.


Not at all what I was referring to, read the original post properly.

Everything you list is shit - opinion lol. Some of them seem pretty good from what I've heard.


Explain what you have to suggest that it such is an "opinion." As of yet, the only thing you have in way of counterpoint is that you disagree, but that's just one opinion against what you perceive to be another.

And again, "from what I've heard." You too are just repeating other people's opinions, without the care to form your own. Why is "what you heard" elsewhere any more correct than what you've heard from me, here?

Look on the bloody entry page - ok calm down. Even I don't know that you can tell if it's original or not from that page.


And your obliviousness is meant to say what, exactly?

I highly recommend watching if you are also bored by romance/harem standard topics in anime. This story has the focus on a daughter-father bond which is so rare and just refreshing to watch. Can't wait to follow their journey! I really enjoyed both episodes so far a lot! :)

Regarding scores, I can't understand that people paying overall too much attention to a score based on a community which is often driven by hypes (based on marketing too) as well. There are a lot of anime that maybe have a score of 5 and are still very good, it depends what are your own priorities of anime as well - not a common opinion. So the opinion on "the older you get the more you know the score is right" is actually a pretty superficial sentence.

no, but yes

no you shouldn't watch it, but yes it is worth a shot.

why?

this show has a ton of similarities with made in abyss, like a ton. it does put it's own spin on it, so i wouldn't say it's a copy, but it's close to being one.

and although so far this has been a great series, made in abyss is simply on another level. so i think you should watch made in abyss first. unless you only interested in this because of the mecha and father, daughter aspects, since those two things are the biggest difference between the two shows so far.

Watch ep 1 and decide afterwards. I only started watching it because of the studio. But now I'm hooked.
