Why is this series everyone's punching bag this year? People are judging the series right from the trailer. Many are calling it generic, attack on Titan copy failure, cliche, and very disappointing terms. This series is infact one of the most generic we've longed in for a while.
I don't want to spoil anything but at the first episode, the plot goes by the ; humanity is pushed to the brink by dangerous giant creatures as the destiny of humanity fall in the hands of a special trained group of humans. To be frank, Darling in the Franxxx, Evangelion, Attack on Titan, to mention a few have all used a similar formula. But in the case of the 'real' and actual plot of Deca Dence, this series is one of a kind with a unique story that marks the peculiarity of the show from being an attack on Titan clone. Right from the 2nd episode, a major plot twist will totally make you take this anime very seriously. Everything you believed about the plot is not actually whole or even true. I heard this anime doesn't have a source material, no wonder there isn't a strong fan base to counter the bias towards this anime.
In terms of the characters, this anime offers non cliche anime characters you usually see in shuonen titles. Some characters may be generic at first sight but as the plot progresses, you begin to see a whole 3 dimensional figure of the characters. I believe this anime can really hit in and make a hit against the odds. Just give the show a chance past the first three or episodes.
