So I learned the Trigun author made this recently after blasting the ED and learning said song was ED of this show.

Is it any good or is it just generic shonenshit?

Yeah it’s good

Finally a Kekkai Sensen thread. It's like Baccano! mixed with Dorohedoro. Give it a watch OP it's a fun time.

It's a good show. A good cast of characters, good soundtrack, good just about everything if I'm being honest.

It's a solid production, in every aspect. Whether you like its narrative structure or not is up to you though.

why is new york so shit?

First season is very good, it really feels unique for some reason, solid in every aspect as other anons said.
Second season becomes a generic villain of the week show, losing most of its charm in my opinion, but the cast is interesting enough to still make it worth to watch.

Season 3 when?

The most cherished wish of anyone who would even bother posting in this thread. How much did the series even sell in japan? If I were to guess our chances are next to nill and we should count ourselves lucky that we even got the two seasons that we did get.

It is very clever, inspired shonenshit. You should watch it.

It feels like Futurama if it was a battle manga/LN.

who knows. season 1 had a lot of original content and season 2 mixes some of the first and 2nd manga together. probably won't see a season 3 until the 2nd manga gets a couple more volumes.

if anyone remembers the series Ugly Americans, it's an even more apt comparison. It's Ugly Americans with action sequences.

there's definitely enough material to do s3 right now if they really wanted to. There's a number of chapters the first two seasons skipped, and then like 8 full volumes of B2B now.

That's good to hear that it sold well, maybe I am just too cynical. I enjoyed season 2 about as much as season 1, but I loved all the characters in the show so the more episodic nature didn't bother me in the slightest, if anything it increased my enjoyment. But I'm also the type of person that love shows like the patlabor tv series so I will acknowledge that my tastes are somewhat abnormal.

it means you weren't filtered and are intelligent. try the manga

Might just read the manga from the beginning if there aren't too many volumes. I started watching season 2 recently and I've pretty much forgotten the entire story and most characters.

It's funny because the first season improvised greatly to fit the anime format for the first season. When the second season came around it went back to the more episodic chapter by chapter format that made the manga work so well, and allowing more screen time for so many other members that got ignored in S1.

I'll forever be salty that they took a series with one of the most likable ensemble casts ever, and deleted all of them to focus on two stupid OCs.

Actually yeah, that's a good comparison.

Cute CUTE

I just want to point out the way Leo shakes Toby's hand in season 2 was completely unnatural.

Seriously it's cast is just so fun to watch doing their day to day superhero/adventurer/agent gigs. S1s plot really pulled you along but S2s episodes are so much better at letting you see everyone in action one way or another

Further episodic threats like S2 really drive in the 'this is normal here' aspect of the universe better than S1's more significant plot, although its ending is fantastic regardless

yeah... I'm starting to think that I'm one of the few retards who liked the original content more.
Most of the S2 material feels too stiff, I mean the SoL bits and getting to know a little more of the ignored characters was great, but the cost was to have a cheap bad guy to beat almost every chapter and non existent stakes. I don't know, at least play the villain as the joke it is and don't take so seriously the threat you are going to beat literally 10 minutes after it appears

I think the sense of normality is very clear in both seasons.

a lot of the anime episodes truncate about 150 pages of content, so the plots in the manga felt a lot more fleshed out and less rushed. it's an awkward length and premise in general to adapt properly.

this was especially evident in the first season where they fight the vampire lady in the subway. that was almost a whole volume of content sandwiched between two five minutes White segments

to continue, one of my favorite aspects of the manga is how fresh every new subplot feels. the anime nerfs this by grabbing all the fight-centric chapters while also compressing them, so you don't get the feeling of how different every misadventure is. season 2's director was too much of a nobody to handle a weirdo series like BBB, and season 1's was too much of a diva who used a good manga as a trojan horse for their kyousogiga spinoff.
