Final Thoughts
My brother GC and I had no idea what to expect from this anime television show when it appeared on Toonami.
We had never heard of it, we did not like the animation, but we got used to it.
We did not expect to like it much when we started watching it, it actually surprised us by being better and funnier than we had expected, so it was more watchable than expected.
It is not the greatest show or anything, it was alright, the main character Mob (Shigeo Kageyama) is pretty overpowered, and the battles are pretty cool and over-the-top.
The end,

Lots of people have told me this series is decent. Still haven’t watched it as I don’t like the character designs (I guess in a similar way to your concerns about the animation.)

Hello The Otaku Judge,
I guess in a way the animation does fit the tone at times, and so that helps.
This show was over pretty fast, especially compared to some things in the Toonami lineup, and so that helps but it felt a bit abrupt to me.
Thank you for commenting,
