Kidou Butouden G Gundam

One of my top favorite Gundam other than Gundam Wing. Wish the creator made a 2nd season to this. I highly recommend all Gundam fans to watch this. Just some simple classic Gundam

ok, so it's been a little while since I've seen the series, but I followed the series PRETTY closely as a kid. it remains to this day all I've seen to date of the gundam franchise, but I have to tell you. even if it had more cutaway facial expressions and cliche typical things youd expect of more action oriented anime. It was actually kind of nice I always LOVED the big conclusion at the end of a particular battle where the actor would scream in this passionate way THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS BURNING RED I certainly wouldn't say its the best thing I've ever seen The sound effects are mediocre, and the music can be pretty cheesy almost to the point of taking you out of the action at times BUT The characterization is pretty solid, and a diverse array of characters keep things fresh. Good main character, soild vewpoints blah blah blah my biggest beef is the action itself I understand robots are not easy to characterize or emote, (this was after all pre-wall-e) but the CONSTANT jump back and forth from gundam to pissed off dude in the cockpit got real old. Its almost like the animators wanted to INSIST on what was going on, no ad libbing of the imagination for you sir. instead you'll ALWAYS know how the character feels during the fight, which frankly. isnt the most important thing in the world when I just wanna see robots kick some ass BELIEVE me, you'll get plenty of emotion throughout WITHOUT gundams even being involved. robot fights can be pretty contained to just a few minutes. and sometimes character defeats Neo america :( lol can seem a little contrived and tilted in favor of the super asian man but for old school stuff its pretty solid. very strong in some areas while lacking seriously (at times) in others. in my honest opinion its a little give and take. If you come into the series NOT expecting superb action and a maintaining patient mindset. you'll definitely find things to enjoy.

G Gundam is simply everything I love could love put into a show. It is basically one part 70s kung fu movie, one part mecha, and one part soap opera; these essences form together to make what is possibly the greatest show ever. English dub is fantastic, Mark Gatha really nails it as Domon. The artwork is solid and the fights look really good even today. The sound design is also some of the best of what you'd expect from any other super robot show. This show may be looked down upon by some purists, but they don't know what they're missing out on. Overall this is one of the best shows ever made in my opinion, and is my favorite show ever.

By far my favorite Nostalgic anime. I'm not a huge Gundam fan, so that's probably why I really liked this one. It's as far away from your typical Gundam series as you can get, but on it's own is amazing. I grew up with this series on Toonami when I was eleven and these days I'd say I can enjoy it more than Dragonball Z or Toonami. Keep in mind this anime isn't for everyone. Especially if you're a hardcore Gundam fan. But as a Shonen Jumper and avid fan of SNK's old school fighters, I absolutely loved this show.

G Gundam , The Kinnikuman of Gundam of Gundam pr mecha in general, its a Battle Shonen like story with our Main Character Damon , with his Mech God Gundam , its the most over the stop Gundam anime ever , none of it is a real Robot , this show is more action than plot , but that not bad , the problems I have are the clearly mysterious Character is related to another character, if you know what I mean This anime got its fans , I am one of them You're gonna love G Gundam too , I highly recommend it, it's so cool This show OP is a banger too

Likewise about an anime seris of Mobile Fighter G Gundam is that it is alot more different than other Gundam series such as Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and every other Gundam series in general in the Gundam Franchise that's considered the more thing about this series is that this series has capsulated about 49 episodes as a matter of fact which it was until Mobile Suit Gundam Wing arrived in many ways for this as well and that's is what you called it a typical Gundam series takes place in Future Century timeline instead of the Universal Century timeline even though this was created by Hajme Yatate and Yoshiyuki Tomino that worked on the original Mobile Suit Gundam series which started the Gundam franchise as well as Invincible Superman Zambot 3 and Invincible Steel man Daitarn 3 and thoughs for the point basically for this whole statement about this series has ever been created from the beginning. Plot This takes place in the Future Century 60 which wanted to put an end on the war than has ever happened before considered how the Gundam Fight has been developed especially the fighters used the Gundams for the Gundam Fight especially when the fighters had to continue fight to be the first Gundam fighter that's the thing for this at all but then again in this case is that of what has occurred especially a Gundam fighter named Domon Kasshu who piloted his Gundam the Shining Gundam first he has defeated he has battled his opponents first being Michelo Charriot with Neros Gundam in Neo Italy especially in Europe then he fought his second opponent Gundam Maxter piloted by Chibodee Crocket of Neo America and then later on where he fought his other opponents Dragon Gundam piloted by Sai Saici of Neo China, Gundam Rose piloted by George De Sand of Neo France and most of all Bolt Gundam piloted by Argo Gulskii of Neo Russia which later on they became part of the Shuffle Alliance at this point and then he have been realized that he founded out that Kyoji has been inside the Dark Gundam ever since his mother was shot and his father was sentenced to the cryogenic state as his imprisonment as for this as well originally the Dark Gundam was originally supposed to be intended as a healing Gundam but unfortunately it landed to Earth when that happened and at this time of course he has faced his Opponents later on such as Royal Gundam piloted by Gentle Chapman of Neo England as well as the other opponents he fought has well especially for the Gundam Fight when Sai Saci has fought his opponent who is actually a ghost of a former Gundam fighter piloted his Mummy Gundam in Neo Eygpt in particularly how it goes quite well which goes on later on when The Undefeated of the East himself Master Asia of Neo Hong Kong he is also a martial arts teacher when he has met Domon in Shinjuku when he wanted to be the Gundam fighter as well at this time of course and then Domon has met Allenby Beardsly of Neo Sweeden she has piloted her Gundam Nobel Gundam if I'm not to mention as well especially after Domon's shining Gundam was destroyed after he was doing the martial arts fight with Master Gundam piloted by Master Asia until it was a miracle that it was the first time that Domon has now piloted his new Gundam that arrived Burning gundam ever since Rain has been finding out about the terrible mysterious DG Cells which they are basically called Dark Gundam cells which effects into the body especially of that has happened when Domon wanted to reach out for the final battles in Neo Hong Kong for the Gundam fight finals ever since Master Asia wanted to fight his ex pupil which it has gotten to him since that happned later on the Battle Royale comes and the remaining Gundam Fighters piloted with their Gundams for the Gundam Fight finals has been located on Lantau Island because considering how the fighters could fight it out for the only one who will remain standing during the Gundam fight finals prime minister named Wong Yunfat once again alterted the rules and allowing previous defeated Gundams always wanted to participate in order of how his evil scheme in addition these four new Gundams appear as part of the one of the four evil Kings of how they became what they involved from when they were affected with DG cells especially the ones that were selected as well and at this point Rain has stolen Ulube's Rising Gundam and this time it makes an appearance whenever it gets into the fight when Domon has realized that Schwartz Bruder is a mirror image of Kyoji the brother of Domon Kasshu truth be told which is before he defeated the Dark Gundam when Kyoji has been gone this how it was until he fought Master Gundam piloted by his Martial arts teacher Master Asia under the school of the Undefeated of the east since the fate of Domon's brother happened that's why he could realize that considered how henfaced against his former master once again than has ever happened which it occurred from that battle during the Gundam fight finals until Master Asia was defeated until he realized that he has no Dark Gundam cell in his entire body until his last breath he died after he congratulated Domon that he is the champion of the Gundam fightfor the first time and thoughs being said he has been only one of them has been walking away when he wouldn't realize that something how it has happened to him and yet it happened when he has find out that Major Ulube has kidnapped Rain in order to resurrect the Dark Gundam now Domon and his friends which they are part of the Shuffle Alliance ever since Rain has been inside the Dark Gundam since that happened and by this time of it has been going on when Domon and the rest of the Shuffle Alliance must face the battle against something Evil happening in space in order to defeat the Dark Gundam in order to rescue Rain in order to save the Earth aside from Domon and the Shuffle Alliance you got the Gundams from All of the nations of Earth especially the Gundam federation when this has been anything has been ever occurred at this point of course when Domon and the rest of the Shuffle Alliance has defested Grand Master Gundam piloted by Ulube ever since Ulube has gotten alot of the DG Cells which makes him reach to Evil but he was defeated and at the all this happened of this Domon wanted to rescue Rain in order to defeated the Dark Gundam ever since he finds out that his father came back from his cryogenic imprisonment which he came back once again from the very beginning of his childhood and for this point he wanted to defeated the Dark Gundam because he wants to be with Rain so he and Rain once again defeated the Dark Gundam which is basically as a miracle. My Thoughts: I must say is that i remember watching this Anime on Toonami when it was on Cartoon Network i remember coming back home from School just in time to watch this anime during my childhood in the early 2000s and on top of all of that this has got to the point out is that i see some cameos in the final episode of Mobile Fighter G Gundam there is cameos of Wing Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing as well as RX 78-2 Gundam from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series and there is other cameos from other anime such as Invincible Superman Zambot 3 and Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3 which i have ever recognize since i was rewatching the final episode of Mobile fighter G Gundam. Animation is great what can you do it's pure superb the music is good i like the music especially when the Burning finger as well as the shining finger Parts in every episode of Mobile Fighter G Gundam which i have ever hear in this anime unlike anyother ones before for the credibility for this as i know to come to think of it the sound is good than has anything done before the characters we had a credibility of characters to be included in this series Overall Like most of the other Gundam series in the Gundam franchise Mobile Fighter G Gundam is the kind of anime is more different than the other Mobile Suit Gundam ser…

This is one of the most infamous Gundam series, the least-Gundam Gundam of them all. G Gundam is a hotblooded martial arts-filled, ethnically insensitive, over the top explosion of hot blood and guts and I have no idea how it got made with a Gundam name. However, I'm glad it did. With some great moments, a fantastic character in Master Asia, great(and hilarious) designs for the mecha, and a break-neck passionate feeling encapsulating the whole show, G Gundam is one of the greats of Gundam, though it honestly really shouldn't by any means share the name. The start is admittedly somewhat slow and episodic, but it's not hard to just take it easy and enjoy the ride. The music is iconic, the characters are colorful and bombastic, Allenby is one of the best Gundam girls, the God Gundam might be my favorite mobile suit to bear the series' name, and even the English dub is pretty decent, which is not usually the case in anime, especially ones with people constantly shouting silly lines full of emotion and passion. The theming in this one is more about conflict from a competitive standpoint being a net pro, which again stands out from the usual admittedly hypocritical message of war being bad despite making money off of war machine merchandise from standard Gundam. However, G Gundam still has a pretty decent delivery on an environmentalist message, which delivered by one of the characters later on. Despite such a base theme, especially by now, and being delivered in such a goofy show, the message did kind of get to me as I was so wrapped up in the crazy hyped-up over-the top emotional atmosphere the show gave off. G Gundam is really good, I think.

If Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Gundam Wing raised an adopted child from a foreign nation, this would probably be "G Gundam", as it's known in the west or for Toonami viewers in the 90's. "G Gundam" is a "monster of the day" slash "tournament arc" show. Every successful country in the world has a space colony, and a Gundam-with-pilot to represent them. Whoever wins the "Gundam Fight Tournament" by defeating everyone they run into on the surface of the planet gets to rule above the rest of the colonies. (I assume this is for a set amount of years, as this is clearly NOT the first tournament to occur) So while most anime might have tournament arcs as fodder or filling, here that's the entire point. Meanwhile in the background the main character (who is Japan's representative, of course) searches for his brother and his highly illegal super-gundam simply called "the dark gundam." It has three unique qualities: (1)self-regeneration, (2) self-evolution, and (3) self-replication. Essentially, it can learn, "heal" and "possess" other living things to act as its eyes and ears. It does of course drive its pilot mad as the metal-to-organics drive the thing has tries to improve the human body of its pilot, twisting it into a madness fit for some early-80's hentai. So, stretched out far, far, far more than it should be, Japan's representative goes from place to place, fighting gundam after gundam from country after country, occassionally uncovering a new clue or witness to the presence of the Dark Gundam. It ham-fistedly deals with things like drug addiction, gambling, anger issues and the like. The "monster of the day" is just the gundam of whatever particular country he is in at the time, and 90% of them are one-time things. The power of love and friendship has to win out, though, so forget ANY serious themes, tones or drama you might see in a "true" gundam show, and embrace your inner "Pacific Rim." This is giant robots punching each other with a big bad robot somewhere in the background to string all the mindless fights together, and don't you forget it. I'd say there are many episodes that could be arranged in any order, or even left out entirely for streamlining, haha. Its for kids, it's not that deep, but the designs are all creative and colorful, if not a little stereotyped at times (Looking at you, Neo-Mexico gundam with your sombrero...). But it's a popcorn anime. Cheap, harmless, but fun.

G Gundam is well known not solely because of being the only Super Robot series in the franchise, but because how ridiculous the story and designs (both bad and good ways) are. While some bish-bashed the show for being not serious at all compared to the other ones, I would say that's pointless because this story is making a serious show out of a nonsensical story which is so overly serious that it is so godamned fun. Story: 6 out of 10 Being a Super Robot Anime, you cannot expect some really serious-toned storyboard - It's basically some regular shonen stuff mixed with martial arts that are over-the-top ridiculous and inhuman to start with (say, how the hell do you do the Shoku Hao Denindan where you can spin your whole body and launch like a missile without your head spinning in the process?), you can turn super-saiyan and become golden in colour, a super robot fight to decide who can control the Earth and the colonies...... If you are that kind of people that can't stand bullcrap then it probably isn't a good idea to watch this, but if you simply don't care or doesn't mind then welp. Art: An American robot that wears a hockey mask, yields its American football shoulder pads and expels its protection chestplate to become a (visually) muscular boxer, and yields a handgun like a cowboy, A Holland Gundam that has a rotating fan on its chest and is basically like a windmill, and a German Robot that looks like a German military officer in WWI somehow performs ninjatsu, and a Sphnix that has a giant Gundam face in place of the human face as it rose. Right. The characters in the show are just as stereotyped as the Gundams (except probably Schwartz Bruder which is a German ninja), so ridiculous to the point that it's clearly the general image of a certain nation's people, yet so funny that you can't stop giggling at its ridiculousness. Not necessarily a bad thing, as why so serious if the whole storyboard already decided to be not serious at all? To increase the goofy and fun of the show, the colouring is the good ol' 80's bright and vivid instead of the same gloomy style used in the 90's. This is a reminiscent of the 80's hot-blooded animes to make the scene more hammy that it is. Sound: 7 out of 10 The OPs (Fly in the Sky and Trust You Forever) are both catchy, and despite the difference in tones, they still work really well with the show. The BGMs, although they aren't something extremely top-notched, worked and are easily memorised, especially Shining Finger and My Heart is Clear and Serene because you will expect the villain to have their asses kicked really hard by Shining/God(Burning) Finger. In addition, to emphasis how much Hong Kong martial arts movies influenced the film (which basically actually transformed into something totally irrelevant), several songs have their cantonese counterparts, such as Hoshikuzu no Requiem (Stardust's Requiem). Character: 7 out of 10 Although it's an extremely generic shonen anime, the characters are well structured according to their own genre, have their own personalities instead of being one-dimensioned, and are all hot-blooded as hell. The downside is there aren't much stoic persons (or at least logical ones) due to the genre, and Rain doesn't have a really large role in the story despite she should be the hero's girlfriend. Enjoyment: 10 out of 10 THIS HAND OF MINE IS BURNING RED! IT'S LOUD ROAR IS TELLING ME TO DEFEAT YOU! BURNING FINGER!!! Seriously, despite most of the sentences are outright stupid, the VAs from both Japanese and English still managed to pull out a straight face, thereby remaining the over-the-top serious hot-bloodness of the show worked so well, even there isn't much content you will still get your emotion flowing because of all that yelling and ridiculous stuff. See how a person runs faster than a car, uses his cloth to disassemble a Mobile Suit, kicking a whole building straight towards the sky despite being injured, spinning his body without his head spinning, that's the Undefeated of the East for you. Yes, it's that ridiculous, but you can't stop having a big grin on your face even you already saw that coming. Overall: 8 out of 10 Recommended? Yes Forget anything related to logic in your head, because G Gundam is a huge throbbing middle shining finger to that in the face. It basically is a representation how illogical stuff can be fun and addicting to watch at.

The most Saturday morning cartoon of the Gundam family. This is a Gundam that was built from the ground up to chase the high of super robots. Newtype bullshit from UC, ELS magic from 00, not even Kira "Jesus" Yamato himself could reach this level of magic mecha bullshit. The typical space opera of politics and deep musings of coming of age are super rushed here. Combined with constant re-use of stock footage, this isn't something that a lot of modern Gundam fans would easily acclimate to. The premise of the plot is that the rule of the universe is determined by a battle royale tournament of Gundam pilots from different countries of the world. Each of these countries has a "Neo" version, which is the space colony version of their original. In this timeline, the space colonies are the powerful oppressors that condemn Earth to being an impoverished battleground for the battle royale. Last Gundam standing wins their country the right to be the ultra-giga-lord of the space UN or something. The tournament itself has greatly reduced stakes, as the murder of another country's pilot is greatly discouraged. Not a lot of characters die and truly stay down, but, on the rare occasions, an actual death can be extremely impactful. The greater plot is about coming to terms with oneself, as Domon, the main pilot, is a hotheaded martial artist who thinks with his fists like your dropout buddy, 8 beers in. There's also a message about wealth divides and environmentalism, albeit the impoverished of this series are mostly used as setpieces for Domon to go "Damn, look at all these brokies, this system is trash. Anyways, I gotta punch another Gundam in the face." The Earth itself is a wasteland after being blown up by giant robot combatants, and there are multiple themes about how mankind's prioritization of the struggle for power blinds them to the fact that they're destroying their cradle. Now for the big one: MS designs. Many of the Gundams in his series are based on stereotypes of some sort, and one can scarcely look at them with a straight face and say they come from the same franchise that spawned Iron Blooded Orphans and 08th MS Team. Grunt suits are scarcely shown save for the Death Army, and don't even get the pleasure of being blown up as background fodder. Non-Death Army grunts are probably shown less than 5 minutes in the entirety of the 49 episodes. However, there is an interesting dynamic of the main character being a melee combatant due to personal principles about martial arts. It gives this weird pride of technique and training over relying on pulling a trigger, and leads to cooler fight scenes. The pilots themselves are larger-than-life brawlers that are just as dangerous outside of the MS as they are in it. Master Asia and Domon are probably in suits to limit themselves from caving the enemy combatant's cockpit in with their bare knuckles. All the other characters are stereotypes like the big, buff Russian, the bratty martial artist with a chip on his shoulder, the American boxer underdog that went from eating shit out of a can to booze and babes and super cars, and the ever-present Char clone... sorta. The Char clone of G-Gundam is not a Char in a traditional sense. They do wear a mask and do serve as a sharpening stone for the main character by obstructing them, but that's where the similarities end. All-in-all, this is a Gundam to watch purely if you want Saturday morning fun. This is not going to grip you like 0079, make you cry like Thunderbolt, or blow you away with cool fights like Witch From Mercury. This is a dated product with few interesting concepts and fun moments.

So this is what happens when the Gundam franchise goes full Shonen Jump! It makes for a really interesting viewing experience in comparison to other Gundam entries. It’s a show that wears its heart on its sleeves and isn’t afraid to be as over the top and outlandish as possible. And that’s exactly ecstatic makes it so appealing. I’m a bit of a Gundam Neophyte. I’ve watched Gundam Seed and thought it was just okay, stopped Reconguista in G because I thought it was awful. But then I really liked the original 1979 Gundam, and I’m loving The Witch from Mercury. So I’m a bit all over the place in my relationship to the franchise. But I found myself really liking this one. I don’t think it’s plot is as good as the original Gundam but I think where G Gundam excels is it’s characters. The characters might not all be the most complex, but they are almost all instantly endearing. That comes down to both their character designs and their writing. They all have defined goals and experience degrees of character development. Domon is the stand out character as the protagonist. He is hot-blooded and full of passion and not afraid to proclaim how he communicates with his fists. But he has quite a bit of character development and that becomes really apparent near the end. The core relationship at the center of the show is also well defined and they have good chemistry, their connection was never in doubt. I also really liked the characters of Sai Saici, Chibodee Crockett, and Argo Gulskii. They were pretty well defined and enjoyable to watch, with Sai Saici potentially being my favorite. They also all have very unique character designs. You can easily pick them out of a character lineup and that’s always a credit to character designs. The Gundam designs range from being pretty cool for the main characters to absolutely insane for a lot of the side characters. I’d have loved to see even more of the completely wacky designs! I’m beginning to get into Gunpla and there are a ton of model kits I’d love to get from this series. I think my favorite designs are probably God Gundam, Dragon Gundam, and Bolt Gundam. The animation quality is strong but also has a really nice nostalgic feel to it. I was only 1 when this series first aired but a lot of the animation techniques and design sensibilities of the Pokémon anime series from my youth are reflected in G Gundam. And I really like that. It might be dated but it made it really nostalgic and endearing. I’m also just a sucker for tournament stories, so that aspect perfectly aligned with my interests. It did drag in a couple of places. The training arc went on for a little too long. But around the half way point it kicks in and doesn’t really let up until the end. And it’s a great ending. It has a lot of shades of Eureka Seven, my favorite anime series, in its conclusion and I’m obviously a sucker for those storytelling choices. It isn’t the most in-depth series. The bad guys are bad with little nuance. And it does have some pacing issues. But it’s still a very fun, and energetic watch, of which I’m glad to have partaken.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam is such a disconnected show from the Gundam franchise as a whole. It takes place outside of Gundam's main Universal Century timeline, there's very little in regards to the political war drama the franchise is known for, the whole thing is a shonen tournament arc, and some of the mecha designs are downright goofy. And yet the show really hits all of Gundam's other strides as well as possible: great story, awesome animation, a soundtrack you can cheer to, and a roster of characters with stupid names that will grow on you by the end. Mobile Fighter G Gundam follows 20 year old Domon Kasshu, who represents Neo Japan in the 13th Gundam Fight. Domon is an aggressive young man, who starts off as a distant loner who kicks some dude's ass, then jumps in his Shining Gundam to kick the ass of the Gundam piloted by the guy whose ass he just kicked 5 minutes ago. Domon really shines as he grows his relationships with his newfound friends, family, a few mentor figures, some stupid toddler characters that only exist because every Gundam show needs a group of little kids, and a romantic love interest he tries so hard not to say that he loves her throughout the whole 49 episode series. While the best animation in the show is reused transformations and techniques, the overall animation of every fight is some grade-a mecha goodness, and the backgrounds of every shot are very detailed and beautiful. As this show is a tournament of Gundams, the idea of every country making a Gundam based on their culture is such a fun concept, even if it does get a little silly sometimes (looking at you, Nether Gundam). Mobile Fighter G Gundam is the kind of show you put on when you just need a show where a robot in a fish suit gets beaten up by a Gundam with dragon heads for hands. When people erroneously say that "mecha is just a genre about robots, not characters", they probably watched this show on Toonami and thought that this was the norm. And if they watched it 25 years ago, then they probably forgot how good everything in the show is. Give this a watch if you want to get into mecha, want another Shonen anime in your life, or if you just want to see some heads explode with a Shining Finger.

Definitely the black sheep of the Gundam franchise. Kind of sort of a low point in Imagawa's directorial efforts. I could sum my feelings on this show up pretty well by stating that it suffers from a major, fundamental identity crisis. It's Gundam but it's Not UC, it's real robot but it has a super robot director, it's made to sell model kits but the animators are spiteful towards commercialization, and so on and so forth. People will try to tell you it's wild and crazy and like the best thing ever because so much wacky stuff happens in it, but let me tell you, it takes 40 episodes for a horse to pilot a gundam and it's not even that impressive when it does. Storywise it's kind of a self-contradictory wreck that's trying to be funny but then trying to be serious and it never fully balances those two things; there's attempts at serious drama, such as in the episodes about Neo Mexico's Gundam Fighter, which are almost always undercut by other parts of the show- in that case, the Tequila Gundam's silly name and design. I think that it suffers severely from a lot of senseless padding that occasionally- especially around the midway point- makes it difficult to sit through. The art is decidedly Not Good. I can forgive it a little on this point because it's from 1994 and most TV anime from 1994 doesn't exactly look good, but I think I just have a problem with the art style overall, even when it's executed well. Most of the time it's not though, and I think for a modern viewer what was viewed as average for its time may now look just straight up horrendous. There's also very little appeal to the toyetic mecha design or the stiff, unattractive character animation. At the very least, the main cast is fairly unique and memorable in appearance. The sound design is generally very good, and I enjoyed most of the insert songs; these days it doesn't quite feel like we get enough of those. Lots of great vocal tracks laid down right where they need to be, though in the last few episodes there's some repetitiveness. Most of the characters in the show are written very flatly, though Domon himself is not, and it does gain character complication in the latter half. Domon is a character that for me teeters on the edge of being unlikeable, but he always pulls back from it and the best moments in the show are the ones where he's able to break down and admit that he's vulnerable or weak in order to grow stronger and move past that. Unfortunately almost no one else has that, and basically every other main character has their development stunted or even thrown away for the sake of highlighting Just How Cool Domon Is. The entire world of the story basically revolves around him. It's very much something written for a juvenile mindset, and there are even little kid characters that spend 95% of their screentime yelling about Domon Is The Coolest Guy Ever. I know I'm laying it on pretty harsh for a show I rated 7, but 1) it's a low 7, and 2) it still has good moments, good highlights. I think that if it was revisited, chunked down to just 26 episodes, had more of a focus on Domon and Rain's relationship(since the actual ending of the show is all about that), and was 10000% less racist, it could be a strong 8.
