I've decided to move this summary to the top. This anime is 2 isolated stories. The three main characters going thru some extremely minor amounts of growth as they talk about how garbage the world has become; the second is a bunch of minutes wasted retelling Haruko's and FLCL's classic story again. These two aspects are completely disconnected and honestly the fact they tried to make this FLCL brought down the overall story. Seriously, there was a decent attempt to write a fairly okay story with the three interwoven characters, but the need to force this into being FLCL just muddied the story and wasted
...
time.
Three Post Apocalyptic Short Stories. They are interwoven across the perspective of the three main characters.
The first opens up about how the world is essentially corrupt and destroyed beyond words, and everyone is leaving into space. Our first main character basically tries to be a Naota clone, but his story essentially ends up being that his father is in a quagmire of inaction about the future. Things are slowly getting worse, yet he does nothing. Shin's story is essentially, he thinks Haruko is hot; That's about it, most of his story time is used to develop the world and his father.
The second is the story about two brothers, the older has already given up on his future but he's doing everything he can to save our second main character the younger brother. There's a lot of Yakuza background noise, but its all irrelevant. The second character has to overcome bullying and is in love with the third character, but it's just played for laughs.
The third is the story of the daughter of a sword smith, however that's pretty much a deadend job as not only is there basically no more demand for that type of work but there isn't even the resources left on earth for it. She has angst because her father is replacing her dead mom with a robot. I honestly felt more sympathy for the robot who is constantly seen trying its hardest to make the family happy, but the third main character continues to be abusive towards it. After both her Dad and her Robot Mom dies she learns the Robot Mom was her real Mom; there's no time to explore how she feels about this as we just quickly move onto Haruko wasting time. Somehow the third main character has the least growth of the three yet she's rewarded by being saved.
Haruko is once again looking for Atomsk to ultimately fail, she acts as an agent of chaos across the 3 stories. However she's surprisingly mostly irrelevant, she could straight up have been deleted from the show and the show would not have changed.
Music is Pillows classic again, just straight up trying to recapture classic moments.
Art is mostly bad CGI splashed with FLCL references. Whatever, I'll just ignore this aspect completely.

Have you heard about the Isekai in which the guy reincarnates into a Vending Machine? More of that in a minute.
Are you kidding me with this garbage... Talk about destroying your premise within the first two episodes...
Basic idea is that the MC is supposed to be stuck at level 1, which implies that he will be insanely weak...
Which is true for all of like 5 minutes, as the MC discovers that while he is stuck at level 1, he is the only one in the world to have infinite stats allowing him to quickly brute force literally everything; making him stronger than even the
...
apparent 'God of Strength' within minutes.
If that wasn't enough to absolutely DESTROY the premise, he then quickly finds a GUN... That's right, this is a classic medieval fantasy and he acquires a gun and proceeds to just shoot everything...
This anime is worse than the Vending Machine anime. THIS ANIME IS WORSE THAN THE VENDING MACHINE ANIME...
Blah blah blah, Harem happens, barely any interesting development, garbage to the left, garbage to the right.

This is incredibly disappointing! It honestly frustrates me because Season 1 was an absolutely solid anime! One that I would absolutely recommend, but this season basically feels like filler! We continue our development from the end of the previous season, and most of the beats have a similar rhythm. The problem is that this season only features a single thread. The thread is perfectly fine, but it's NOT enough to carry the entire season. If this had been a movie or even 6 episodes long, I would have probably rated it an 8! However, because they decided to stretch it across 13 episodes everything ended
...
up so incredibly awkward!
There's a bit of development, a bunch of nothing, a bunch of hanging around, a bit of development, repeat.
The fight scene is basically the same, as each character will often stand around doing nothing or take turns getting beat up with minimal consequences. It honestly felt like we were back to classic DBZ, in which characters spend entire episodes powering up. That's how bad it is!
Again, the core story and reveal and all that good stuff was FINE. The problem is that there wasn't enough content for 13 episodes. It's like as if World of Warcraft decided, 'You know what, a single quest per city is more than enough.'
You know what, let's poke some holes in the core story too. WTF is this boss man who is basically a 7 foot tall perfectly muscle sculpted mountain of a man 15 year old kid... You know what, it's FINE. Villains are allowed to be strong.
How is Takemichi going up against him? He easily defeats significantly stronger fighters, yet somehow Takemichi is able to be a contender... You know what, its FINE, protag syndrome...
but then they just got lazy with it... They sell the Black Dragons as being essentially militarily trained super soldiers, then hand wave them away when it stops being convenient. It's just lazy. I'm honestly just disappointed.

Story: Naruto is a fairly decent anime that made quite a bit of mistakes, such as turning over half of the show into fillers, and taking the show into "god" level Dragon Ball Z style of fighting. Naruto starts out as a extremly good Ninja anime during its first season where everything you see is unexpected and the story is rather fresh and interesting, the first season including Zabuza had a perfect pace and the fight scenes felt truly of what ninjas should be.
After the first season however we are left with a quickly declining anime, soon the fights becomes my "special
...
move is better then yours" and it doesnt really feel like its a ninja show anymore with everyone pretty much using random attacks, which essentially turns this show into another beat em up. After a couple of seasons they start to follow in the footsteps of Dragon Ball Z.
Art: The characters are well drawn, and the moves are flashy and nicely animated fight sequences.
Sound: While many of the music and songs of the anime are amazing, this show became plagued with... DATTEBAYO! ('Believe it' in english)
Character: A large array of characters with each a rather decent background, however because they wanted each character to have such a rich and fulfilling history, we became flooded with flashbacks. Also only a few characters truly stand out in terms of growth and development such as Gaara, Neji, Shikamaru and a few others.
Enjoyment: I decided to rate the seasons individually and then average them, with Season 1 and 5 recieving highest marks.
