my feeling are incredibly mixed about this anime lol. i like NEVER write reviews for anything, but i feel like maybe my stance is important here.

i'm a trans girl, and i see a lot of other ppl watching this show are also trans. but i do have to warn you. DONT. in terms of it's representation of queer people, it's abysmal dogshit.

it's kinda like if an edgy, hot trans girl got their hands on the script of an idol anime lol. the queer jokes are constantly on the heads of people who don't immediately look hot as fuck the moment they transition, and most ... of the characters have to experience the worst of transition without any of the mental benefits.

as for the pros, this show is downright hilarious. like a good 75% of the jokes land for me fsr—and when they land, they land HARD. even some of the edgier jokes, like with Mari's dad actually transitioning and Mari being absolutely sickened by it despite being transsexual herself.

watching this show as a confident tgirl gives me the same feelings i get browsing 4chan's LGBT board—it's funny, but only in small doses.

absolutely hilarious. the jokes about the isekai tropes being demolished by Sensei's nature never fail to make me laugh.

the show also has poetic scenes and theming throughout, which is considerably rare for shounen anime. actually this anime doesn't even really feel like a shounen sometimes, it just critisizes shounen genres and tropes.

the op and ed for this show are just absolutely insane. the way the intro has this
"shouwa era" feeling just hits the dermis for me. and the calm, reflective feeling of the outro always ends up making me get emo.

P.S.
people who get mad about the edgyness of this show need to grow up. ... you decided to watch an anime where the main character was an adaptation of a depressed, suicidal poet. if this show triggered you, you actually asked for it.

By far one of, if not THE, best Kaiju shows I've ever seen. Bop opening theme, check. Interesting plotline, check. Cute romance/friendship subplot, check. Well written and interesting side characters, check. Underdog story, check. Cute/funny moments throughout, check. Episodes that make you want to keep watching, check. An ending that is conclusive but still implies a second season, check. Cool character design, check.

The world is quite fleshed out to be honest. And though it included the odd cliche, it did it in a way that wasn't boring or uninteresting.

I'm not sure if I can even think of something I didn't like about this series. Maybe ... that season two isn't out yet lol.
