Deca-Dence

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.

Watching in Japanesewt eng subs. be interesting to see English dub . recommended. . .

This anime is quite good, there are a few pointers though.

If you like mecha, drama, action, monsters then this anime will be good for you to watch. Its only after watching all episodes the story made sense to me.

It would have been nice to bring some depth in to the cyborgs color scheme though.

I like how the story merged both sides together at the end but I have to admit it was quite heavy to digest staying on track.

A season 2 wont have this problem I suppose and could bring about some interesting plots to this anime. I rate the anime a 7, if they do make another season then my rating could go up.

Sigh. I wonder why this show is so underrated. Maybe its lacking in surface appeal, or what I love most about it is not what people often appreciate most.. regardless..

I had to review this show after the sixth episode though I thought to do it before hand. This show has an exceptionally rich story imo. There are so many co-relations with our world, with the ways things are, with the future. I am not going to spoil it but if you love Philosophy, Religion or Mythology you might really be able to appreciate it. Give it two episodes. Its also very heart warming and inspiring. I am very grateful for everyone who brought this work about.

If you are looking for a show that you know you will like, this is probably the one. You won't love it, but you will probably like it. It has a lot of the tropes from other anime and movies (it's basically just a bunch of different concepts from different movies, shows, and games), but put together it's cool, even if there are some weird contrast between styles that don't really work. The action is very reminiscent of attack on Titan, and it has the same cool vibe to it, which I really enjoyed. The weird cyborg stuff kind of threw me off at first, but I grew to accept it as a thing that is in this universe. I wish they weren't as cartoonish though, it makes the show feel a little less genuine to me. Honestly I don't really have much to say about this show compared to others, but I guess I'll just say that I liked it and you probably will too.
