"I was... slinging turds the whole time?! I thought I was so cool..."


That was way funnier than it should've been. Hell, this whole episode was funnier than I expected. Ok, it's definitely got more going for it than the typical shounen tropes. Still wish the MC wasn't screaming all the time, but hopefully that'll get better as time goes on.

WE GET IT, IT'S POOP! One second they're doing unfunny comedy, the next second bloody rage, and they're flip-flopping on a dime.

I still want to see more of these cool-looking characters and more of the world, but it's becoming torture to sit through these meaningless, nonsensical, cringe-inducing scenes. One more episode.

For real, why is the comedy so ass in anime these days? Sakamoto Days, Kaiju Nr.8 and this one as examples.

@GTRaijin I am glad to find other people that share this opinion I was starting to think I was being too picky with the anime I watch. I also feel like those 3 shows are just reusing formulas that already worked with a different coating (sure the "anima" thing in this anime is "new", but overall they are just reusing old stuff and selling as if it is something brand new.)

Even though Enjin seemed cool, he used Rudo's stuff to make a profit, or least get a free meal. That's the kind of world this place is. This has done a pretty good job setting our expectations to how things work. I can only wonder how they grow food and get water down here.

The shit flinging was pretty funny. They even put a Scooby-Doo joke in there with sound effects.

Looks like Rudo just doesn't do well with girls in general. He even stares at one entering the shop. This new one seems cute though.

Hilarious episode. What a way to introduce the student to the master. I am surprised the plunger was still that dirty after all that running and chasing, but hey, it was a character and relationship building moment.

It's hard to say at this point what level of shounen this will be, but the series is slowly gaining momentum. The garbage motif is quite...interesting.

The first part gives you an introduction to the world and the powers of the anime, while giving a little life lesson (to take care of the things you own).
The second part is the funniest shit I've ever seen. A plunger with rechargable shit as a weapon and Rudo's faces. XD

Nice to have this back after it being delayed last week, it was just getting started and boom delayed lol, but that’s done now thankfully. And wow that whole introduction of Zanka was something else, bro seemed like a badass at first, then seemed overly nice once Rudo used Regto’s advice, then he completely switched gears when Rudo attempted a horrifying smile, whooped Rudo’s ass right after, but then… bro gets scared by a poopy plunger lol, the Scooby Doo chase was on from there, truly a great start for Zanka, he may have been traumatized by having shit on him but it was worth for a hilarious moment.

And lol Enjin just laughing the whole time, can’t blame him, shit was pretty damn funny, see what I did there? And whoa surprise babe introduction, Riyo really has such a fire design, I like her voice too, can’t wait to see her in action, for now tho she’s rooting through Rudo’s hair and he’s loving it and also confused by it lol.

@curvedtree I'm in the same boat. The poop antics felt too drawn out to be very funny to me. And these first three episodes have been just OK for me so far. The less shouty bits of episode three started to look a little more promising, but if things don't continue to improve in the next one, then this anime just might not be for me.

So Anima is basically a fancy western or futuristic name for Tsukumogami like tsugumomo.
According to an annotated version of The Tales of Ise titled Ise Monogatari Shō, there is a theory originally from the Onmyōki that foxes and tanuki, among other beings, that have lived for at least a hundred years and changed forms are considered tsukumogami.

So it's that Damn Tanuki again

Sakamoto Days, Kaiju Nr.8

I actually prefer the comedy in those, honestly...

I at least didn't get actively annoyed by Sakamoto Days. It's just goofing around by default, it's not constantly trying to be so serious and edgy and occasionally go "here comes the joke nowwww" like Gachiakuta.

Kaiju No.8 had that embarrassing pee-nipple gag, but that was a one-time thing that only lasted a few seconds (I think). It's also a heart-on-its-sleeve romp so it's easier to forgive when it does something silly.

Amazing ep

Explanation of his powers was much clearer this ep from Enjin, which was good. Anything his gloves touch are affected.

Rudo couldn't smile if his entire life depended on it 😂

Rudo vs Zanka was a calm fight, but man was it hilarious, along with those facial expressions. Zanka is quick to anger. His staff clean asl.

Nah, using poop in a fight is crazy work.

Riyo looks interesting, must be a hair stylist or connected to hair, considering the way she was acting with Rudo.

10/10

This episode was hilarious. The poop fight scene was very creative. Opening theme starting to grow on me, didn't like it at first but it really feels like it fits now. I still don't like how simple and Asta-ish Rudo is so far. Kinda funny how they just introduced another cleaner at the end of the episode out of the blue. I was thinking about dropping this series before watching this episode but I can definitely see why people like this series after this one.

NOTE TO SELF: please dont grab snacks half way through a fight scene... for you might find... DUNG

Moving on, this show has so much promises it makes me think of nothing but HIGHLY PRAISES. this amazing shonen esk show. it reminds me of soul eater/fire force. But if fire force had any good starting episodes or intriging plot line to start with. But dear GOD this episode had me choking from holding back laughter and trying not to throw up due to the context of this episode. HOLY SHIT THIS SHOW HAS POTENTIAL... like wonder egg proritiy but a bit more shonen and METAL. Speaking of metal, I am in love with that opening.

PLOT: 10/10
PROMISE: 10/10
OPENING: 10/10
Character design/dialog: 10/10
COMIDIC STYLE: 10/10

very shonen, very dandy space, very Dandadan. honestly I am still in awh of how nice it felt to watch this. That might be because I missed shows like this, simple, no plot point revolving around titties, MURDER MYSTERY, MOTIVE for the MC, HARD CORE, COMICAL... acutally its anything but simple i think of bullet head or that crocodile anime when I see this. But unlike those asswipes (ilikeempleasedontcomeforme) this starts at the beginning and not the middle.

Still great watch, Will MC become DUNG fighter in the future...? will he ever uncover the murderer of his father? will there be ecchi scenes ruining the momentum? will turn out as bad of a plot as wonder egg priority? we will soon see. UNTIL THEN BYEEEE

TOP SHOWS THIS WINTER SEASON
SO FAR SO GOOD

@GTRaijin I'd love to know why there seems to be a large correlation between "This is a dark and edgy anime!" and "If we're gonna put humour in, it's low-brow things like shit jokes!" It's weird.

Idk man. I don't mind the comedy at all when it's actually funny, but stuff like this is just a big really bro.. moment. And for some reason seems like pretty much everyone likes it from the comment section. "Oh look, poop!", "funniest shit I have ever seen ahahaha!". Like I just don't understand. I'm also sick and tired of hearing the same "trash anime, get it? haha" jokes and it's barely been 3 eps.
