Tougen anki

Only 2 episodes in and this show has some of the most insipid, asinine and stupid writing I've seen on a bit. Naito Mudano should be erased from existence for being one of the biggest edgelords in anime. The concept is pretty boring too (agency/school for gifted people to fight bad guys! Basically repackaged Soul Eater/Bleach/My Hero Academia/Jujutsu Kaisen...).

I'm trying to hold out hope that it gets interesting and is more violent (touch of Devil Man, anyone?) but this just seems like standard, regurgitated Shonen crap. Would like the show a lot more if it had more grittiness and tension. Currently, it's predictable and I'm about to say "nah, I think I'm going to pass on the rest".

I really like the design of the male characters, but the fight scenes are poor CGI. However, I don't understand why the breasts and thighs are so stupidly big for all the girls? I'm not happy that I have stopped watching "Tougen Anki." because the over-sexualization of female characters needs to STOP.

Tougen Anki is just another battle shonen, however, with well-developed characters and engaging story, it's pretty entertaining both for beginners and people who bingewatched One Piece 15 times. The animation is also impressive, especially considering low budget of this series, and CGI effects blend into the 2D drawings (which is really hard to achieve, for example in BAKI and Berserk 2016). To sum up, I would like this anime to get much more attention across the world, it feels like another impressive series will be forgotten because of how unpopular it is. I hope it gets Season 2, or main character dies in the last episode so that I won't be left with unfinished series I enjoy.

The Usual Anime attempts to set itself apart, but ultimately Tougen Anki ends up feeling like a copy of something else.

Episode 3, in particular, strongly resembles Attack on Titan's concept and watching Tougen anki wasn't impressive. While the show is certainly engaging, it falls short in terms of originality.

The originality i notice was Naito Mudano, using skates.

I only managed to sit through a fraction of the episode-it was painfully cringe. The writing leans heavily into the trope that sheer volume equals power, as if screaming louder magically unlocks superhuman strength. It's a shallow, overused device that substitutes emotional intensity for actual character development or believable escalation. Felt more like a parody of shonen tropes than a sincere narrative choice.
