Lone Wolf & Cub in general is a pretty revered series among a plethora of artists and its influence runs deep across multiple artistic mediums. If nothing else, I'd say it's worth checking out purely for its legacy and how it established the trope of an adult and a child embarking on a perilous journey. It's one of those works that's difficult to do justice with words simply because of how monumental it is. Also it just kicks ass tbh.
The show makes fun of itself and negatively compares itself to other Shonen Jump series regularly, anyways.
I also realized after I didn't explain enough about why I think he's arrogant - it's not because of what's done to him, that is not his fault - but it's the way he rationalized it. He believe that everyone hated him because he was perfect, which is probably true, they are jealous at him - but his response was to "lower himself to match the others", meaning he does look down at them. Now he doesn't back down, and even make jokes that he's perfect, but he still look down on people like how he basically divided his group into the "good popular kids" vs the other "bad popular kids".
These problems could probably be fixed if the author didn't write it as Chitose's narration all the time.
Also, even if he question his actions - he never receive any negative consequences from them. His actions always works out at the end, even if his methods weren't great.
50 episodes of these dolts lamely trying to figure out their feelings for each other isn't compelling. It's so friggin' long and drawn out, and probably not because it's some grand opus that the mangaka desperately feels the need to tell; it's just a popular, serialized thing that presumably pays well. Same as most other WSJ tosh.
Also, why would what I think of Blue Box negate my thoughts about, and points made on, a few other entirely unrelated shows?
