Is it worth starting?
This is 6 seasons deep — Japanese action & adventure with an animation streak. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
Don't watch this if…
- you take the score at face value — it's early, and 60 votes can still move it
- you want something that ends tonight — there are 6 seasons of it
- Why
- Currently 7.7/10 from 60 ratings, which is a good sign this early.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
