saying this as someone who's a) new to the series b) hasn't read the manga and c) thought the trailers looked kinda mid: great premiere! obviously the animation isn't like, jujutsu kaisen or dandadan-level but i thought it looked pretty good! i really like sakamoto, they did a great job at selling his larger-than-life presence just from the posing and quick reactions. shin is good, great shonen protag-y lil guy, and the premise has me hooked. i already see not everyone feels the same way here in the thread and i understand why, but honestly i'm hyped for more

The fights also made great use of environment and physical space which really adds to how engaging they are, even with something as simple as the way Shin maneuvers around the shipping crates.
