Neo Yokio

It's understandable that a lot of people didn't get what this show was trying to be and voted 1. Yes the animation wasn't the best, yes the voice acting was equally not the best.

If you grew with animes in the 80s and 90s, it's likely that you will get at least some of the tropes and references this show is making fun of. And speaking of references, it's full of them. Some of the more obvious being from Ranma ½ and Sailor Moon. Toss in a mockery of Taylor swift and Ralph Lauren, and you're set. It manages to be a parody without losing its own identity.

I don't think it's for everyone, but I had a blast with it and I hope there will be more of it.

Now let me go enjoy my big toblerone.

A smart and funny caricatcher of modern life played out with a great voice cast including Jaden Smith who voiced his part of a spoild brat perfectly and The Kid Mero and Desus Nice who's every other line was delivered hilariously. Definitely worth your time if you are either a fan of anime or dry humour.

I have an inherent negative disposition to Jaden Smith, as if you listen to the things that come out of his mouth that aren't scripted, you'll usually end up finding your face in your palm, but fortunately I didn't know that his was the voice that I was listening to until I finished the series and went to rate it. Overall this wasn't anything special as an "anime" if you can call it that (which I think you can), as I view anime as a medium for telling a story, not some specific set of rules that an show must fall into, to meet the spectacular term we call anime.

In regards to the story, I didn't feel like it was a "One Punch Man" ripoff at all, it was most definitely it's own thing! The plot doesn't revolve around the protagonist having too much power, so much so that he's driven to boredom. This show however was definitely very interesting, to see what a fully americanized anime looks like. This is it, and for that reason alone I'd recommend giving it a watch, but if you're a man or woman with very limited time who doesn't get to watch much TV / anime, I'd advise you to probably not put this one at the top of your list. All in all it was a fun and watchable anime, just for the different American feel it gives, and seeing the generation Z slang in an anime. If you have nothing better to do, it's a quick fun watch, by no means is it the best, but definitely watchable.

Only peev with the show is that the girl's voices were almost all, strangely, very deep... Besides this it a very watchable 7/10 full blown "hip" American anime.

edit- Another user put it perfectly: "Western anime that's not actually trying to mimic eastern anime" which is quite a unique thing, that we really don't get to see much of, so that's why I recommend a watch :)

This is a fun and original show, not at all what I expected actually. The main character is a melodramatic douche and it's animated so you don't have to see his face, in many ways this is the role Jaden Smith was born to play. The voice acting and animation is not stellar but I recommend it completely unironically. This is just a fresh and fun show, better than most comedy anime.

I legitimately had no idea what to expect. I was just thumbing through Netflix and came across this on their recently added. Neo Yokio is very, VERY different from anything else you have seen, and it is important to keep this in mind while watching it.

It feels like Wes Anderson, the anime, so there is very little precedent for the show in general. The show keeps the mood light and rarely takes itself or its characters seriously. Don't try to take it seriously, but instead focus on the comically unfitting soundtrack, the deadpan delivery of ridiculous lines, and the hilarious commentary on how out of touch the social elite can be. 6 episodes is by no means an investment, and you may enjoy it!
