I'm really not sure about this one.

Normally low-quality animation doesn't really bother me but there were just too many (noticeable) pauses in the animation and sound (running out of animation budget already Toei?)

Also, I find Megane-kun incredibly annoying; and how is he even in Border if he's so weak? Maybe once more characters are introduced he'll become less important to the story (I sure hope so).

I do really like Kuga, at least he's fun. And I like his :3 face; it's kind of adorable.

I'll give it 1 of 2 more episodes but I don't have high hopes.

The MC is too damn pacifist, it's pissing me off. He'll stand up to anyone but won't fight, damn annoying masochist. Getting real tired of Kuga always making the stupid face as well. I really like when stuff like that is used, but there's just no moderation here.

He's only a C-Class as seen on his shirt. There's still B, A and S Class (won't go further into it since it will be explained soon). He will stay important to the story, but more (and better) characters will show up.

Ah that explains it. I didn't realise there were different classes of Border agents (so C-class is probably the lowest class right?).

Second verse, same as the first ... POOR! His eyes are as awful as ever. =.= happened at least 5 times in the first 2 or 3 minutes. MADNESS ENGULFS MY SOUL! Other than that, I liked the progress MC made in reigning in the little albino boy. Need to teach him about the sheets and cars. The best part of this episode was his logical thinking that if thug-kun's leg is broken, he'll give him the sheets, so he broke thug-kun's leg THEN gave him the sheets. I laughed and laughed and laughed and then thought, "that still won't save this anime."

This is weird but I really like Kuga's stupid baby face. And he is an interesting character so far. Although I am wondering... they said they did not know who fought the neigbor.. so does it mean that Osamu is not a registered Border?

That is a good question indeed. That's probably because they only track down squad's activity, and he does not really belong to any.

Osamu is such a cliched hardass it actually makes me so happy. One of his favorite things are brigdes, so stability is in the same class as food to him.

I personally don't think this should be an anime that I like, but this episode actually is making the series really grow on me. Yeah the Kuga face is overdone, but still oddly charming in a 12 year old angst "Kawaii-desu" type of way. Apart from the animation and CG quality (cough cough Toei) the show sure does have a lot of promise.

So, this show seems really slow. I still don't understand why they are doing this. It seems like the author(s) didn't really know how to make the beginning...

By the way I don't really understand why are they drawing ≡ signs instead of eyes and 3 instead of the mouth... Is it some kind of foreshadowing?

I hope we get to see Osamu get some good character development, it gets boring if he's always all seigi no mikata. But at least Kuga is interesting. However, what terrible animation quality this anime is, was the budget that bad? I mean the only thing that seems likable are the CG monsters and thats it

2 episodes in this show is basically:

A kid who's a weak little pussy, and proud of it for some reason. Still remains a week pussy even when powered up. Goes around trying to convince everyone stronger than him to be a weak pussy.

Another kid who's super strong and thinks logically, yet makes annoying dumbass faces in every other scene.

A comedic face like Kuga does is good only to be used a second or two at a few scenes every few episodes not being made for 3/4 of the damn episode. It's so fucking annying.

Blind_Guardian said:
Count me in among the people who find Yuma's 'baby face' really annoying ... especially when he does it for 3/4ths of the episode.

Also, Four-Eyes is SUCH a gigantic pussy. You can tell just how well his 'passive resistance' works against school bullies by how they pretty much run the joint, and he's unable to do a damn thing to stop it. Yuma's approach clearly works much better in practical situations.

Meh episode. Hope next week is better and that Osamu eventually grows a pair.


Agreed. I wouldn't call him a pussy since he obviously acts non violently out of principle instead of cowardice but i will call him a massive idiot. WTF is he doing really? What he says makes no sense, how can the alien kid figure out humans when he has this guy as an example that actually makes no sense even in human terms.
He goes and yells at the bullies to stop when he knows very well that bullies hit people. So what is his massive plan? Obviously if he yells at them they will hit him so he knows before hand that unless he can intimidate them his act is pointless and he will just hurt himself for no resold. Yet he still does a pointless act. If you have no intention to use any method that will stop them then why the fuck to you interfere? Just sit at your damn corner then.

Yeah, is completely stupid standing up for people when you have no power or no intention to do anything to actually help them. Considering our main doesn't even try to fight against the bullies(cause he doesn't like violence) then his interference is hypocritical as fuck. Basically he has no intention to actually help the people his pretending to stand-up for since he doesn't do what he can do to actually stand-up for them.

I understand your hatred for Osamu but most of you don't understand him at all.
He is weak and he's aware of it, he does not turn his back on anyone in trouble and that's just the kind of guy he is. He is literally willing to lay down his own life to help others and give his all even if his all is never good enough... If that's being a pussy then I guess I wish I had the balls to be one.
Quite frankly Osamu is one of the reasons I'm into World Trigger, next episode might change some of your views about him. well, I hope so....

Actually you'll be surprised how there is pratically no Power of friendship in this manga, I mean there is no Fairy Tail power ups due to friendship or some childish stuff like that.
In this manga, tactic and numbers win battles.
As over powered as someone is, they can't win by brute strength alone; tactics and numbers in a battlefield come first.

The reactions of many towards Osamu reminds me of the early chapters of WT where there was similar "disappointment" about him being so weak or weird with his justice sense.^^
And yet that megane guy got a position in the first popularity poll of WT that would make your eyes jump outta the skull. XD

Episode 2 was thankfull not on the same niveau as episode 1, there were less awkward pauses and when there were pauses theren't as long as in the first episode, the animation felt nicer and less stiff though it could still be better, the scenes when the trion soldiers showed up and their movements and such were pretty good or at least better done than with that bamster from the last episode, the extra scenes with the little Rad trion soldier or the one with Chika and the trionsoldiers reacting to her presence and her running away from shelter were also nicely done and really add to what the manga had showed.

So far I am a bit disappointed that they do not show the blows, kicks and such but only the effects. Like Yuuma getting hit by a car - nope nope nope, but it is okay to show his cracked open head. I'm glad that they didn't censored that with big black dots or half black screen like Terraformars, but if they are okay with showing the kids a crack in the head they should show a blow to the stomach as well!
I'm worrying about the fight in the next episode. If they censor out all the blows and hits and strikes and such and only show the results it will be an awkward fight...

The Arashiyama Unit should show up in the next episode, can't wait to hear how Hanazawa gonna voice Kitora cause I usually remember her as the one who voices sweet, kind and innocent like characters and Kitora isn't really much of that. XD

will from manga world trigger i reading they help each other in fight make them strong this same in saint seiya omega anime style. Osamu and Kouga very weak noob they only become strong because help from friends i know other main Character powerfull than main character like eden over power like Yuuma. This Wolrd trigger About tactics battle and Help each other and moral. because of Osamu his kindness yuuma will help him become stronger little by little until he can fight him seft alone. they help each other order survive and become strong like Character in Hunter X Hunter anime killua and gon.

Then the classmembers wouldn't have talked that friendly with Yuuma. THey would have been afraid of him. And that was something to better avoid if Osamu wants Yuuma to "fit in as a normal human". Normal humans usually don't beat up four kids into the hospital for extorting money. At least it would need to be more than 500 Yen.



Prasie the =3! Praise it! All glory to Kuga's lips!

Kuga's baby face is getting rapidly distracting/annoying. 10 times in the first episode and every other scene in the second. I always give new shows a 3 episode chance though. Nothing remarkable here really, so it needs to improve for next ep.

So much for keeping his head down.

This just consisted of bully group A, bully group B, bully group A- how mundane and boring.
The first episode had bullies as well. Yawn.


I really dislike Kuga just for the very shallow reason that I find his butt face and sarcastic tone annoying as fuck.
The other guy is so stereotypically 'stoic faced megane' except that Yuki Kaji's voice comes out of his mouth so it makes him extra unbearable.

I had at least medium expectations for this but... dropped.
Thankfully there is no shortage of enjoyable kid's show this season thanks to the ever based Gundam Build Fighters.

Oh so those things aren't actually Neighbors. Does Border know this? Or they just call everything that comes from the black hole a Neighbor?

Although we could tell from the last episode, but Yuuma does operate on different principles than humans do. Osamu realizes this too, but he also thinks that Yuuma isn't inherently bad. It's nice that he's kind of looking out for Osamu by teaching him about how his world operates. To people who aren't familiar with paper money, it must seem weird how you can buy stuff with just paper haha.


I think they are aware of it, but don't make much distinction between it. As an analogy, it's like saying 'foreign attackers', I guess, and whether those are drones or human soldiers, the naming isn't different for the country which gets invaded.

I don't get why there are relatively many people complaining about the anime. Good news about that is, that many whiners said they'll drop it. ;-)

Yes, it's not top-notch animation-wise, and yes, they show the 'baby-face' (half pouting, eyes in triple) a bit too much for my liking as well, but all in all, it's clearly an above average anime, this season. The story, while the grand lines - invading alien-like force, dimensional rifts, etc. - were done already a dozen times before (what hasn't?), the execution of it and the little twists to it seems interesting enough. The characters, in particular, seem pretty interesting and not too classical one-dimensional. The MC is uncharacteristically not overpowered, and I hope he will not 'power-up' in Bleach-esque ways neither. The part where he realises Kuuga is not a bad person but has an alien, war-educated mindset which is unfamiliar not only with the habits but also with the (for him too pacifistic) mores of our society bodes well for further characterisation in future episodes. It's clear both characters can learn from eachother, and I'm looking forward to the interaction.
