ワールドトリガー
When a gate to another world suddenly opens on Earth, Mikado City is invaded by strange creatures known as "Neighbors," malicious beings impervious to traditional weaponry. In response to their arrival, an organization called the Border Defense Agency has been established to combat the Neighbor menace through special weapons called "Triggers." Even though several years have passed after the gate first opened, Neighbors are still a threat and members of Border remain on guard to ensure the safety of the planet. Despite this delicate situation, members-in-training, such as Osamu Mikumo, are not permitted to use their Triggers outside of headquarters. But when the mysterious new student in his class is dragged into a forbidden area by bullies, they are attacked by Neighbors, and Osamu has no choice but to do what he believes is right. Much to his surprise, however, the transfer student Yuuma Kuga makes short work of the aliens, revealing that he is a humanoid Neighbor in disguise. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

First things first, this anime is very underrated and gets picked on way to much. The animation style gets the most backlash however once I got used to it I actually really enjoyed the style used. The characters were lovable and interesting and I got sucked into the story really fast. The only downfall I can think of this the ending as it felt unsatisfying and was a let down, we just have to hope that there will be a 3rd season. Over all I really enjoyed this World Trigger, with it's characters and pleasant art style it has really stolen my heart. I really recommend watchingthe anime.

I don't understand the really positive reviews. This was NOT a good anime. The premise was a great premise, but the show have a few major flaws throughout. 1) World logic was not consistent. The show would introduce world logic for some component, and they would then forget about it or even contradict it in later episodes. They were usually minor things, but this was frequent enough to really question the story flow. Stuff like how an entire faction despises all neighbors and wants to kill them to the writers forgetting about what motivates this faction by the endand it just being overlooked. Things like how "points" are relevant for a few episodes...and then they aren't. The fact that the head of Border effectively starts a coo, and everyone is okay with it. One guy can see the short future, but can also see the future years in advance to almost pinpoint accuracy...and he is then portrayed as some sort of high-level counselor to the head of the border? Etc etc etc...the list of these items are endless. 2) Characters were relatively vapid with some of the protagonists kind of being annoying to deal with. The world seems to be fascinated Osamu, who is a protagonist and "captain" of the protagonist team. He is a very weak and melodramatic character whose only exceptional talent seems to be occasionally coming up with something witty, being uncharacteristically brave for someone who is so timid, being incredibly altruistic to the point where you kind of want to barf and always being overshadowed by everyone else around him. Yet, for no reason given, this "bravery" or "tenacity" (blind luck usually) gets him the attention and sponsorship of everyone... WHAT A BAD PROTAGONIST! 3) Every episode has a few minutes going over what has happened in previous episodes. This is just a waste of time... it also adds to the feeling that the anime presents where they are trying to just run the clock and waste time without providing too many filler episodes. 4) Some of the editing is poor in the beginning with awkwardly long still frames of a moment as it has ended. This gets resolved later on in the anime, but it makes the anime seem amateurish 5) Story premise is fantastic! It is unique and fun...yet they took a great story premise and filled it with poor to amateurish writing which really diluded the show. Some characters don't even need to exist! There are also TONS of times where deus ex machina is introduced and someone appears out of thin blue, surprising everyone and saving the day. One scene has a helicopter appear out in the middle of the sea surprising everyone when someone shoots down a ladder...??? Are you trying to say that there just HAPPENED to be a comrade in a helicopter that NO ONE NOTICED in the middle of the sea that flies right next to the characters as they need to be saved??? Alot of poor writing like this is rife throughout the anime. 6) Artwork is meh...its not terrible, but its not anything to rant about. I do enjoy some of the character designs and flow, though there are also times where the artwork designs don't seem to mesh well. 7) Tied in with the world logic, for a story that seems to center on comradery and appeasing a surprisingly privileged civilian base, people seem relatively apathetic towards death. There are times when some damage is done in a city due to Neighbor attacks, or even some Border soldiers are kidnapped and the public loses their minds and start blaming Border for things that are not possibly in their realm of control. But when tons of people die, no one seems to bat an eye? The list for these things goes on, but there are simply better animes out there to watch. They took a good premise for an anime and filled it with mediocre filler. A few episodes are entertaining until you need to rush through a few more to get to that next entertaining episode. Is it worth the watch? ...Meh...I suppose it is, though you'll probably want to skip a lot of episodes or entire swathes of sections in episodes that are just boring. Every relationship and character is so weak that the only really entertaining parts are sometimes the fighting, and even then, it becomes redundant, annoying at times, spread out too thin across multiple episodes and should only be a facet of an anime, not the only entertaining thing about it.

So found out that world trigger was completed then i started to watch it and frankly for someone who likes these types of anime this anime both triggered and dissapointed me big time. Why almost everyone think this is great praising it like the next coming well no its not. The story is the same as most anime there you have scifi combined with superlike human weapons or abilities. Good guys fight back while bad guys keep invading. This is fine i kinda expected it and its not something i would rate an anime bad for. The only problem is that type of storymakes it easy to guess different plots in it. When i see something happening and think to myself ah so it was going to happen like that, then i know something just normal will be with this anime. The triggers is what make this anime what it is it gives the anime the only thing to make it unique. What type of triggers does he use what is the difference between each things like that is of interest because thats what this anime is about combined with the alien attack. But this anime pisses me of because i feel like they just say hey lets make this happen while another part says hey lets stop this doesnt feel good lets make something else happen instead. And when they finally get to explain things they create a big event and its basically and now after the invation break. I can watch slow animes i even love those but thats when they actually try to get some sort of picture through or explain not when you just throw a bunch of fights there you just get more and more distraught. I will give this anime that it has openings that you can enjoy eventhough they try to make the anime unique by plopping the openings in the middle of the episode. The openings are interesting there is that. Never have i found myself hate as many characters as i did in this anime never. I was at the 10 episode when i thought should i just toss it aside but no my anime sence told me that there was something i would enjoy. The characters was not any of this. The main character is piss poor weak he cant fight for shit he cant even do dmg whats so great about this. He gets helped almost always and it feels like the only thing he can do is acting like a meat shield or run away as a distraction. The main supporting girl Chika basically gave alot of the story away when i heard about her more clearly which is why i wont spoil it but its obvious. The supporting guy Yuma is your typical op supporting character who helps the main character Osuma a bunch of times hes likable enough but has his weird yet kind side. There are a few other characters i could like but too many gave me that feeling of annoyance and wanted to throw off a cliff I started to enjoy this anime when i got to about episode 40 surprise ? well you shouldnt be. I had to fight my way through episodes there i wonder is there any point in this anime having a Mc. My advice for whoever reads this is to not care about main character and just view everything as a story of its own and never think of any character as a main just think of them as part of a divition or similar to that or you will run the risk of being burned. Overall there is nothing special about this anime that i could say i enjoyed all the way through i can only say that it had its good moment but thats it. The story and the consept of the triggers was great but in the end i could find an anime like this and find a better one easly. If i ever watch this one again it will be from around episode 40 or so maybe 38 but not much back than that.

One of the strongest points of World Trigger's first season is its focus on strategy. Unlike many action anime, where brute force or the power of friendship often take center stage, each battle here feels like a chess game. The unique abilities of the Triggers and the need to plan each move make the fights true mental challenges, where winning requires much more than simple strength. I find this to be one of the series' most appealing aspects. The world-building is also impressive. You can see the attention to detail in the rules of the World Trigger universe, from the technology to the internal organization ofBorder, which adds depth and realism to the story. Each detail seems well thought out and is revealed at just the right time, keeping the audience constantly intrigued. However, the first season isn’t perfect: the animation can fall short at times, and some filler episodes slow down the plot. Still, if you can get past these details, you’ll find a series that balances action and strategy in a refreshing way. PS: Trigger on!

I think this anime deserves a 7 even if the animation is lacking, many many unnecessary repetitions, overexplaining things, and some fillers that have no purpose at all (but again, aren't useless fillers common even in high rated animes). It deserves a 7 because the story line is good, the universe is deep and well planned, and the battles are the best part! Rank wars and the massive invasion fights are so amazing I couldn't stop watching. I know many people dislike the characters they say it's boring and weak but I think because they are weak, they have room for improvements and surprises inthe future. I don't think the weak MC is a downfall, it is quite refreshing to see an actually weak MC as a change, though I still expect him to gain somekind of a super side effect someday. I like that Tamakoma 2 Team is quite realistic, as in real life teams usually there is the kickass one, the potentially good but not yet there, and the leader who can't work. I understand lengthy battles and strategies might not be everybody's cup of tea but if you like awesome battles that send chills down your spine you will love World Trigger. And I love how laid back everybody is in this anime, not to mention super cute characters like Yotaro and Raijinmaru <3
