World Trigger 3rd Season

This is one of my favorite series in the entire history of anime and one that I've been following for quite some time now, since 2019 when I watched the first season, following by the announcement of the second season and ending the airing of the third season yesterday, these are my true thoughts of this latest season. Story: 10 It has a complicated situation from the beginning, little by little some new but familiar characters are included at the same time, this together with the high level of planning and strategy with which we are used to, added with a proper balance of all the triggersmake it the best closure of this great arc, which has been present practically from the beginning of the series. Art: 10 I have not seen many Toei anime, DBZ and little else, but you can tell that the animators put too much love, especially at the beginning and at the end, quite well constructed shots of all the main venues, Tamakoma, Border, the barracks, the maps of the meetings, this along with a beautiful animation of the last 2 episodes, taking as honorable mention the final assault between Tamakoma-2 and Ninomiya squadron, simply masterful. Sound: 9 The OP exudes joy, sadness, nostalgia, fear, surprise, all possible emotions for a true fan of the series, the new OST themes incorporated, called "Determination" and "Action" are the icing on the cake for key moments and high tension, along with some old ones, such as "Elite Talented". The ED is pretty calm and serene, it could have been better, but it was pretty good. Character: 9 Avoiding some spoilers, the building and consolidation of Chika and Osamu, two of the main characters, is among the best for shounen standards. Worries, despair and uncertainty disappear in order to finish what started that day. Yuma and Hyuse shine as always, not for nothing are they the aces of the team. Other mentors like Jin, Karasuma, Reiji and Konami are always there when needed. Enjoyability: 10 From chapter 1 to 14 I have been largely happy with the outcome, in the transition, strategy, commentary, unraveling and ending chapters. I have not felt dissatisfied in any chapter, in fact, each chapter leaves me wanting to continue with the story and to know what will happen with the main team. Overall: 10 This is the season that brings together all the good and the best of the franchise, it reaches the highest point of the whole plot, a great production, tension and unmatched expectation, all to finally create a spectacular final product for the most insistent followers, and also for the not so insistent. As a final comment, if you are reading this and have not yet seen the series, I highly recommend you watch it. If you are looking for a strategy series, where it's not all about fights, lights and special effects, one where you truly explore the world and even the universe, one where you are interested in seeing the growth of the characters, their various facets, desires, fears, values, objectives, goals, all this with high level animation and sound, World Trigger is definitely a good alternative, if not the best. Very good wishes to sensei, Daisuke Ashihara, I hope his condition improves very soon, to all the production staff of the series, for making it happen, I hope the next meeting is not in the distant future. Trigger off.

Let me start this review by saying: this is by far the most underrated series! More people have to watch it. Let me tell you some small things which makes this anime even better the more you watch of it! Firast of all I'm kinda hyped right now since I just saw the last episode and it didn't dissapoint in any regard! But let me tell you that I never thought I'd see the day where this anime would be continued and still maintain or even better raise the quality of the fights, story aspects and character development. The more you watch the more you're gettingyourself invested into everything it has to offer! First the fighting: over all these years, I've seen plenty of anime (over 13000 episodes) where the fights become either less relevant, more predictable and less logical over time! I could list a ton of anime which would fall under those criterias. World Trigger doesn't. It keeps the fighting aspect so interesting that I'm always learning something new, as well as technical or character wise. It strongly reminds me of Hunter X Hunter's kind of explaining techiques and how everything works, but even more accurate and resonable. The characters I already mentioned are very complex since they all have different motives, character traits and therefore different fighting styles which always fit in their teams. Some characters are more shallow than the one who are standing more in the spotlight, but this is totally understandable. What I really like is their uniqueness. Nowadays anime tend to maintain their typical tropes which you'll find in World Trigger, too, but not so overdone and more scarce, what makes it more enjoyable to watch. The artstyle fits perfectly the combination of serious fighting and relaxed, goofy moments. Especially the fights are very consistent animated and super enjoyable. And now combine the well fitting and recurring music and sounds to get you more and more excited, especially as they are fighting! :D At the end everthing fits perfectly together. I wouldn't enjoy the story as much as I do when there wouldn't be the rich development of the characters, since you need to get invested in them to empathize with them and their goals. And to top it you have those well explained and understandable fighting moments which not only helps to delevop the characters further, they maintain the suspense curve here and now, getting you hyped for more. I repeat, this is such an underrated anime, I strongly recommend it to everyone who likes a well explained / resonable world and fights. You need to watch it!

I was recommended this show from a friend of mine. Myself and most of my friends all follow esports and are huge nerds. This is by far the best anime for "esport" things and stuff. I think the idea of the show would one day make the Olympics and things one day in the future super super fun to watch on the big screen or in live. The fight scenes and how everyone thinks and all the metas that each character have to learn is sooo cool. Every character has their own style of fighting and each character has to find a way to countertheir style which I love and my friend loved. Season 1 was rough on the animation I feel like, but as the seasons go on, the animation gets really good. Each character in the background is hilarious in their own way and it brings a nice soft tone, but in times, the show can be dark. Multiple scenes where a character is close to death of some sort, then 5 minutes later. Everyone is laughing and having a good time and it lightens the mood the best way. Final opinion, this show is REALLY REALLY underrated and I hope they continue and I hope more people pick this anime up!
