The Anime That You'll Regret Skipping

Recently, I watched an anime that I originally skipped watching long ago and now I regret not knowing how good it actually was for all these years.

As someone that binged the first season a year after it ended, i have to say this video perfectly expresses my exact feelings though for me, the visuals were of less concern because I was used to binging shows like One Piece which is also animated by Toei so you can see where I'm going with this haha. But honestly this is the first video of yours I've watched and I had to subscribe, everything from the editing to the way you scripted this video kept me invested for a full 19 minutes and that's so hard to do for me because I struggle to stay focused on any one thing But I LOVE how you made real life parallels and how much that resonated with me because I have things I want to do that I don't necessarily have the affinity for. Maybe that's why I relate to Mikumo 😭. I also LOVE Mikumo and Kuga's friendship I swear! I almost feel like binging the first season again. And omg omg omg YES Season 2 was fucking spectacular from beginning to end. And the fact that ssason 3 was announced only makes this so much better!!!!

[@EarlTanktop]

@@ericx6969 as far as smarts go you see the intelligence in the fights rise as the story progresses. And oddly enough the anime just finished covering a team with incompatible members and the current arc of the manga is actually setting up situations where all the squads are mixed into new provisional squads and egos are already starting to clash. For the most part though, the reason you don't see incompatible teams is that most of the show's time is spent with high ranking members who've had multiple drafts of their current squad and more or less have settled into comfortable place with their teammates.

what's nice about this anime is 1 thing: realism ! yes, while other animes are filled with clichés like "the main protagonist is weak af but with the power of friendship he beats the bad guy in the last moment -somehow" this shit doesn't happen in World Trigger, you have a weak main character that is expected to win due to -plot, yet he keeps losing because it's naturally expected (since he is weak af) but he somehow manages to win at the end by using his brain and tactics given to him by others. you get interested in this anime because you start to invest into characters that help each others and grow together to achieve their goals rather than winning because "plot" in a way that doesn't make any sense, this anime is hands down the most realistic anime i have ever seen.

i believe its issues are comparative, the most notable one, its its blandness, action seems bland, character interaction seems bland, but its only because we are used to over the top fights and energetic characters, world trigger its grounded, realistic, its fights are hundreds of times more complexes than the exchange of hits until one surrenders of other anime, tactical action, and this in turn, makes that the Tamakoma-2 explosive canon its even more impresive, its a weapon of mass destruction, there are only 2 or 3 other characters with the firepower to cause that destruction, and the character interactions are also incredibly realistic, without the mannerism of the industry, world trigger its a show that i think would look and be amazing in live action but yeah the filler arc its grabage

[@glukolover]

World Trigger does a very interesting thing with the concept of the Shounen protagonist. There are two quintessential features of a shounen protagonist: A, the will and drive to change the world around them. B, the power to carry out their will. World Trigger however explores these two ideas separately by splitting them into two separate characters, Mikumo and Kuga. Mikumo has a great deal of drive and willpower, but lacks the power to carry out that will. Kuga has a great deal of power and experience, but lacks the drive or goals to obtain. It is only when these two come together that progress is made, and that each other develops that which they lack, while also examining them in detail. Mikumo for example, his lack of power despite his immense drive, frankly comes across as suicidal at times. He often tries to protect others even when he lacks the power to even protect himself, and it damn near gets himself killed on a number of occasions. It's only through his understand of his own weakness, as well as accepting support from thous who are strong, that he is able to grow and obtain a strength of his own, the ability to bring people together and support the dreams of others. As well as slowly becoming actually strong, even if he may never be as strong as some of his friends. Kuga on the other hand is examined in a couple of different ways. First is established that regardless of how powerful he his, he still needs help and support just for the day to day living, as in peace, power is pointless. Then later we see that regardless of how OP his black trigger is, at the end of the day there is only so much one person can do, and Border can win with numbers alone if need be, should he ever go against them. This is illustrated in a character that could be considered a mirror to Kuga, Enedra. A neighbor with loads of power with a black trigger, no real long term goals, just immediate wants, which in this case is war and battle. We see how destructive such unrestrained power is, but also how ultimately self defeating it is in the end. Power without purpose is either destructive or pointless. It is only through the help of his friends that Kuga comes to find purpose and goals to strive for. World Trigger may not be the flashiest of series, but it is a very smart series. And I am glad that people are coming around to it.

[@ilikememes1402]

I seriously agree and have the same opinion, osamu is misunderstood by some people that he still weak but he does get better physical power wise (compare him on 1st chapter and at the latest) and as a person. Experience is needed more than power, Osamu has been doing border work for a short time but yuga and all the other agents at border are naturally gifted or experienced. Chika is gifted and Yuga has experience, Osamu is the leader of them all because he gives out reason and is wise overall. The author is making him grow as a leader than of a person who can beat ass just because he's been trying so hard, things arent like that for everybody so as yuga said he needs "time" a steady effort of doing things you cant rush to be op My take on the series for now

When I watch a Dota match or a chess match between two GMs, a big part of the fun is trying to predict the actions the players are going to take. This is possible, if you are knowledgeable enough on the game and on the players, because such games have very well established rules and given certain circumstances using strategy you are able to narrow your perspective onto only a few course of actions. Knowing the players allows to further limit the number of choices. World Trigger is one of the few manga that has managed to give me the same feeling. The fights not only make sense strategically, but they feel like they flow naturally from start to finish and that the characters always take the course of actions that make the most sense. Also the characters are great!

yo can you recommend animes like this

[@marcster6767]

@@grass5697 Well, I am no expert on the subject, but from what I have seen the best example is probably Hunter X Hunter, especially in Greed Island. Kingdom is a great strategic war manga, Ajin has some of the smoothest fast paced action I have read and Hajime no Ippo has a good deal of strategy, too

[@grass5697]

@@marcster6767 hmm is their anything else, its ok if its bad or good in everyones perspective, as long as it has the same tactical/fighting uniqueness as HXH or World trigger...

[@marcster6767]

@@grass5697 I'm not sure about battle shounen, it's pretty hard to create an entirely new power system and fights that make perfect strategical sense with it. If you want good, realistic strategies the best place where to find them are historical manga, I feel like. I am reading "Historie" by Hitoshi Iwaaki (same author as "Parasyte"), which follows the story of Eumenes, right arm of both Philipp II and Alexander the Great, he is a great strategist, although the manga is on hiatus. I have heard good things about "Ad Astra Per Aspera", following Hannibal's military journey and "Eroica", sequel of "The Rose Of Versailles" and following Napoleon's military campaigns

[@StarlightSoda]

I remember seeing the cover and I held up on it, but just like you, once I saw those first few episodes, I was hooked. Everything was explained fairly well, that there were rarely any plot holes, and as someone who has watched so much anime, it's refreshing. This anime really picks up best when the team rank battles start. Ever since I finished this show, I've been wanting a 2nd season, and I'm glad it finally got that chance!

the only thing unbalanced is trion level, and that being basically the ONLY unbalanced aspect shows how good the power system is.

[@asianbboy911]

Tbh I'm glad it took so long for the 2nd season to come out. It gave the producers a chance to greatly up the quality of the animation as well as direction. Honestly the two seasons are night and day in terms of difference in quality.

[@asianpersuasion4901]

They so confident in the quality of the series that they green lit season 2 and 3 at the same time. And they are right to do so, season 2 fixed absolutely everything people didn't like about season 1 and honestly, exceeded expectations completely.

Too bad the manga is rumoured to be going back on hiatus due to health issues. Hoping that they are at least able to allow the seasons to be completed.

World trigger honestly is amazing. I've stuck with it since the first season and was so happy when season 2 got announced. The way how they handle characters is brilliant. Just about everything feels grounded although it is fantasy which is one of the big reasons I love it. The fights are so strategic that when you see a plan come together you can't help but go "yeah that was a 5head moment." I could go on and on but I think this video put the respect on it's name it so rightfully deserved.

[@hyunsung32]

The best episode is easily the one with just Yotaro and Raijin-maru Capybara OH YEAH

One thing I like about World Trigger is that it emphasizes completing objectives. Kind of like Capture the Flag in FPS games. You can get all the kills all you want but if you get outscored, it's in vain.

World Trigger is such a masterpiece! It is my favorite anime ever. Even tho season 1 starts slow and the art isn't the best, the story is solid and the characters are amazing!

Most importantly, everything makes sense. I love this showw!!

As a avid anime watcher and manga reader with over 500 titles in my backpack from all genres, World Trigger is one of my favorite anime and manga from its CAST personalities, interactions and story, especially tournament arc oh my gosh, (and personally also the openings hehe) that it constantly makes me want to binge it all over again.

It got a 2nd season because there was finally enough source material. The author had some health issues and couldnt continue, especially at the pace shonen jump demands. But, a couple of years ago Shonen Jump allowed him to use a modified schedule he started putting out new chapters every few months and now we have season 2.

If World trigger didnt go on Haitus because of health reason it would be in the TOP 5 OF SHONEN JUMP.

My favourite part of the series, that becomes more prevalent in the latter half of the series is how the characters start to borrow each other's tactics and adapt them to suit themselves Yuma borrows Kazama's mole claw, only for him to use Yuma's arm decoy in another fight.

[@parabox8176]

Let's not forget the grasshopper from Shun and Scorpion whip from Kageura. Also, Mikumo getting Spider from Kitora... which is used by Katori later, after their fight in the rank wars.

One thing I’m most impressed by is that all the border agents are teens/young adults and they’re all so dedicated, responsible, thoughtful, strong, disciplined (w/o training there is no way these agents became stronger)…all these traits make me reflect on myself…

This gave me chills. There are some animes out there that are simply underrated and when you decide to give them a chance you just get confused at “how can people dislike this and like that?”. I started watching this after a sort of a crisis, consequence of many of my favorite shows ending. I needed to find something that wasn’t 12 episode long, you know, that could give you the time to create a bond with characters. Every episode just made this evolve into something completely different from other shonens. I liked this so much that when I found out that the 2nd season was just 12 episodes long (what an irony) I stayed in bed devastated for the rest of the day
