1- "Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider" is seinen.
2- Seinen and Shounen are not genres.
@SouthRzVa I think you haven't watched the anime yet; right now there's a tournament arc happening.

@Desmascarado Why are you so narrow minded? There are seinen battle manga that's all about tournament(s) like Record of Ragnarok. Seinen and shounen aren't genres. Nowadays they mean nothing.

Well, that has gotta be inconvenient having some god-like being camping the border. Glad to see Rudo and co. made it out. Rest in peace Noerde, you were electrifying.

That was awesome. Bones really popped off. This is easily one of the best-animated episodes of Fall 2025.

Good animation aside, I like how the story is progressing. It's hard to comment on this as a non-anime-only because no developments took me by surprise, so, uhh, that's about all I can think of saying. Gachiakuta's story is good.

Bundus made for a majorly imposing boss fight for the cleaners, and you're telling me he's just a Raider recruit??? Man does Zodyl know how to find quality talent.

I thought Rudo got a power up for a second there, but he just stopped splitting up his power! It's certainly a neat but costly change of battle tactics.

Round two with Noerde couldn't be happening at a more dire time. I hope one of the cleaners has a good electrical insulator close by...

They really went all out with the flashy animation this episode. It looked amazing.

Bundus is seriously impressive, holding his own against so many people at once.

Riyo also had some great reaction faces this episode, they were genuinely cute.

Enjin's Ensign to gather all of the Cleaners together towards Rudo and Zodyl's location, it's such a whiplash for the Raider leader, but it's by no means the end of the story.

With the trash beast finally airborne and rising to the Sphere, it's literally a time attack sequence for the Cleaners to take out the trash beast's core against the remaining surviving Raiders, Bundus with his 6 Hands, can absolutely thwart everyone with a fair few to spare, for someone whom he claims as a newbie, who's actually a seasoned veteran with his multiple vital instruments that not even Rudo nor the others can break through.

What's left of Rudo's untapped potential, by putting his 3R Watchman gloves vial instrument to use to overpower himself using trash for weapons, Rudo's nail gun is ABSOLUTE CINEMA for the crisp animation cuts alone defeating Bundus with all that power, even if it's essentially a one-way ticket to his undoing. Even then, Bundus can restore his prosthetic Hands and leave the scene as Zodyl has no more use for him, leaving the time of essence at nigh.

There's only but one more problem before the core: Noerde is back, and the Electric Lady is stronger than ever. What power...

That was beautifully animated! The fight choreography, the colors, the tableaux, it was all very effective.

Also, I'm glad we finally got to witness Bundus' abilities and power level.

This is it, the Cleaners have regrouped, and they're all aiming for the core to escape imminent doom for them all. Turns out Bundus is a veteran who can hold his own against multiple cleaners, including Enjin, and all he has to do is let his stand-like prosthetic arms do all the job for him. The man is a tank; his defensive capability is incredible! However, if only Rudo could snipe that core down, oh yeah... He got the 3R.

When you see cubes flying around, you know the animation's about to go HARD!!! Idk the animator's name that does this iconic artstyle but I know for sure Vincent Chansard worked on this ep for the railgun sequence! When Rudo finally realised he could focus all his power into transforming 1 item, he managed to turn a broken nailgun into a rapid-firing nailgun rifle and then again into a full-blown RAILGUN CANNON. The animation and the vibrant visuals are just phenomenal, and the OST was absolutely fantastic! Not to mention the visceral sound effects, that ringing metallic nails clashing against one another was so fucking epic, this is undoubtedly Rudo's greatest feat thus far!

And then Rudo suddenly got sentimental as he empathised with Bundus having his prosthetic arms shattered, bruh. That is such a jarring turn off to the immersion of the scene.

Come to think of it, the number of big-named animation that worked on the sakuga of this episode is crazyyyy. What is this, some sort of Avengers-esque assembly? XD No complaints here!

Insane Ep! It's incredible how you can instantly tell it's Yutaka Nakamura! Why am I not surprised to see him around. It's Bones at their peak. The Animation which was already good went from 80 to 200 percent. Absolute Hype!!!! That Nail Gun really NAILED IT!!

I'm glad the show returned to it's original pure shit format for this episode. It's been stringing me along for 21 episodes with a fairly intriguing mystery plot, but it's just too much.
It's THE worst type of anime for that very reason. It just uses 5% of its story to move the plot forward, 65% meaningless exposition, and 30% garbage fights.

The worst part is that it's all a waste of time. There's no sense having fights, or explaining them, or having a flashback to establish some kind of back story because it's pointless.

How can I be invested in a character when there's never any REAL consequence to the fights? No one ever dies, or even when fatally injured, they magically insta-recover. There's only so much entertainment in laboriously explaining someone's power system and why they have it whether that's thru tedious exposition or flashback.

This is THE worst kind of writing. I would really like to finish this, but it's stupid. It's a gacha game of an anime. Just hang in there a little while longer.... more will be revealed. 21 episodes in and we know almost nothing more than we did from episode 3. Know nothing about the sphere or it's origins or about the world and why it operates the way it does. Nothing... nothing has progressed.

Such a waste as well, because the artwork is fairly unique, character designs are cool, and animation is decent. But you need a good story, while this one MIGHT be good, we're never gonna find out at this pace.

This strategy of milking out these episodes is just to make money. Do we really need 3 weeks for a single side character battle? If it was something groundbreaking, or super critical to the plot... maybe, but nowadays, it's by default. Everything is drawn out needlessly to pad the run times. Like I said, we know almost nothing more than we did after episode 3. Not really. So i'm done.

Farewell piece of shit time wasting garbage show. Wish I'd never met ya.
@Ranchpig I agree with majority of what you said, but somehow you still finished the anime and never gave it a score? I would've assumed you dropped it with your last sentence

I'm not entirely impressed by this anime. Sure the fight scenes are good, but like why wasn't the old man crushed. Its kinda stupid, esp considering that Jabber and the electric lady should've died.

Then Rudo gets really heartbroken when he takes out a threat only to find out that the guy can reconstruct it 💀

What others have said about majority of this being a waste of time is lowkey true. The evil guy could've escaped and left, but instead he had to stand around, make that creepy face, and announce his departure.

Why is the dino girl still out???
