It’s cool to see a show like this that, while maybe still aimed more at teens than adults, is stubbornly optimistic. Threads the needle between serious and lighthearted just so that it’s neither too heavy nor light.
In some ways the whole vibe of it reminds me of a more grounded Gurren Lagann, which is a major compliment as Gurren Lagann is also a stellar series in my opinion.
I love the series but I assume there’s some mistranslation of culture in the idioms of some of the characters. (I watch dubs) Like Senku’s constant “I don’t care a billionth” and “you get 1 billion points.” and Gen’s constant pig latin. Those idioms are cute when used sparingly but it seems like it’s every other sentence.
They are actually speaking like that. I think it might actually be more overt than Naruto lmao
Every time Senku says “hyaku oku” he’s going full hyperbole. Gen it’s harder to tell if you don’t know Japanese.
