Just finished ep 2, solid but nothing spectacular so far. Still want to see something that makes me think Chad Stahelski was involved in the action. Although I do like the free flowing movement of the main character.

So I’m watching ep 4, and here comes Breh
And of course, he's gotta bond with the trans character over "shared struggles.”

:why:

Can’t Breh just be a badass? Cool outfit, sick skills, mysterious backstory, a few wins, maybe even some joy?

Wait, did they make him alphabet gang too??

See, i gave up on the show after ep 2 just off of it being boring as shyt

Opened this thread to see if maybe something had changed... and of course this is the shyt they pullin with the breh :mjlol:

And to your point yea, why can't they just stick with the conventional trope and make the secondary male be like Aki from Chainsaw Man, Megumi from Jujustu Kaisen, Killua from HxH etc. aka the quiet/brooding bad ass to contrast with the dumbass mc.

Nah thank god lol, there’s a trans in episode 4, and basically the theme of their convo is “fitting in” and so he tells her how he was told he couldn’t break barriers because of his skin, but ONE MAN believed in him (aka. This old man they’re looking for)

But yeah, the show is becoming a bit stale. The creator is trying to chase a moment / nostalgia and create a new-age cowboy bebop with (leverage / ocean 11 elements). Gona give it 1-2 more episodes. But the music is the saving point.

Episode 4 also reminded me of this anime (Great Pretender) highly recommend.

Heard this shyt is hot garbage. People say the dub especially is trash and Crunchyroll/Adult Swim is suppressing the sub :laff:
