Levius

If nothing else it's an interesting and more believable take on a fighting Anime than most others I've read about / seen.

Basing everything around a real world sport, without any wacky monster fighting or weird unexplainable "Supers"/Creatures it creates a engaging narrative that's worth watching.

It of course falls back on a few classic tropes, but like the car chase in action films, they are almost mandatory as this point.

This was really good... just jump in and go for it! Odds are you won't stop until you finish the 12th episode! Comedy, Action, Heart, Animation quality, everything you could want in a old fashion war era with advanced robotics.

As strong as the fighters are that we see, I'm eager to see what the contestants will be like in the following seasons.

I'm not going to lie.. this series is completely predictable! Yet it still manages to rise above itself and be REALLY good (specially when compared with the latest Ashita no Joe ANIME, which does everything wrong aside from having a decent intro theme beginning).

I've seen too many stories to be able to predict what will happen next.. or in a way, how I think it should be. It's a mix of experience and desire. And my "faith" here was rewarded! But that's not the only thing about ANIME or stories in general. If it was, I could easily summarize/write one myself. A real story can only come to life by the work of a lot of people, lines of dialogue, animation, design, details and beautiful moments. This series takes the core concept of evolution and interactions, and executes it the right way. It loves every piece it gives you, and respects them accordingly. There are no wasted moments, or characters.. everything exists for a reason. And it builds upon itself.. like a reverse pyramid! It takes you higher and makes your blood pump.

It is not perfect. I would only criticize the character of Natalia, which feels too annoying and generic at times.. like it doesn't belong.

And I'm afraid of where it may go moving forward.. but as it is, I'm glad to say it wasn't a waste of my time like almost everything else new that's come before it.

I went in with low expectations but this unique sci-fi sport anime in a post war world managed to grab my attention and not let go. I binged it all in 2 days. I want at least 2 more seasons of this show.

The plot is about a young man that box in search of something. The boxing is changed however, they use cybernetic enhancement. It is a great series so far, I've only seen 12 episodes. I am very much looking forward to more!
