I enjoyed this series a 10/10 in my book plus for the first time in a long time I watched this series in Spanish and gotta say it hits differently plus love the messages of how society treats each other by looking like if a handsome guy works in a store then the manager, the manager will think of a great way to make a profit of the store but if a non-attractive dude works then the manager will be like ok well good luck on your first day. This is just nuts but hey in the world we live in it is like thatI had an experience like this and I wasn't the best-looking guy but I accepted who I am and live the best life I can do and anybody can achieve their goal if they accept themselves for who they are.

Significantly better than anticipated! Netflix Anime's have a stigma of having bad animation and adapting source material in a questionable way, but for Lookism and some other recent projects that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. The adaptation has decent animation and isn't overly reliant on CG. Artstyle-wise it fits the setting of the early chapters of Lookism very well. Characters are easily recognizable, though slightly less ugly as portrayed in the manhwa (which is a plus?). Only problem I could see is how heavy and griddy the later chapters of Lookism get and how they're going to fit certain scenes into this style. Considering thatI doubt that this artstyle is sustainable in the long run. The Soundtrack is nothing special but certainly not bad either. It adapted the source material very well. From memory I believe they adapted everything faithfully except for leaving out the "beauty contest" during the school festival and some not too plot relevant bullying scenes. The last Episode ends at around chapter 27 of the webtoon but does use somes scenes involving Crystal from later chapters. For Manhwa readers there's a lot to look forward to! Our favorite characters like Jay, Zack, Tabasco and even Gun make their first animated appearances. For newcomers it's not all that complicated and a rather light hearted kdrama-esque high school anime with bullying and fights. Give it a watch and let's hope for season 2.

The title "Lookism", derived from the root word "look", suggests that the show is focused on one's appearance, which it is. The show's premise is basically the segregation of the bad-looking ones and the good-looking ones, where those deemed bad-looking are at the bottom of the food chain, basically like trash, and have no rights to do anything, whereas those deemed good-looking are at the top of the food chain and have everything they could want. Viewers can see a clear disparity in how the bad-looking and good-looking are treated, with the former being beaten up, horsed around to do errands, and shitted on by thelatter, whereas the latter are treated with high respect, can basically do whatever they want, and the others can't complain. This portrayal is far from realistic, surrounded by superficial characters, and it calls into question the values and morals of the show's characters. This is where Park Hyung Suk enters the picture. A former bottom feeder whose life was transformed after he unexpectedly gained a perfect body and can go in and out of the body by falling asleep and switching bodies. The show's premise is fine, but the bullying aspect is excessive and unrealistic, and the way people behave doesn't make sense, leading you to wonder what the motivations are behind the characters' behaviors, both main cast and side cast. There are some feel-good moments and character development from some of the casts, but the execution of the premise simply does not work for me. In terms of art, I suppose the show has a Korea manhwa feel to it, but it won't appeal to everyone. It takes some getting used to the art. There were a lot of exaggerated reactions as well as still frames in the animation. One can tell right away that the art and animation department's production value was not prioritized and is relatively low. And since the show is from Netflix, it is not surprising that the art and animation departments are subpar. The OP, in my opinion, is the true winner of the show. It is very catchy, and you'll be hooked after just one listen. However, the art style of the OP doesn't match that of the show. The voice actors did an excellent job though in portraying the characters they were assigned to. This show, to be honest, isn't for everyone. The description of how people behaved based on appearances in the show is essentially incorrect, and the execution could have been far better. Exaggerations and how people behave frequently leave the audience scratching their heads. The show's main objective is to emphasize the importance of not passing judgment on people based on their appearance. However, the show fails to teach the lesson, since all I see are a bunch of immature children who believe the world revolves around them and that they are superior because of how they act, in other words, jerks. The show is a breath of fresh air though, so there's that.

As the manga messiah this type of content is a complete waste of time but I do this for the people that seek good content. Basically its some obese kid that gets bullied and literally everyone hates him and thinks hes disgusting just because he is fat. They act like he cant have talent or do anything because he is fat. He will walk in the hallway and get his ass beat, girl look at him and get scared. He blames his mom for him being fat because she puts eggs in his ramen?? how about some accountability fatty go to the gym and prove themwrong. Anyways One day he gets beat so badly it goes viral on the twitter and his mom moves him to a different town in a one bedroom(YEAH JUST RUN AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEMS THX). He was excited running around the city and he ends up getting beat up again goes home crying wakes up in a different body with a six pack and super handsome(BTS rip off). His fat body is next to him and if he goes to sleep in the skinny body he wakes up in the fat body. got it? got it cool. So he goes to school in the skinny body everybody starts meat riding him "omg your so handsome" "hey want to be friends". SO YEAH thats literally it he keeps using the skinny body and using the fat one to work graveyard shifts at a gas station. Also checked out the manhwa turns into some edgy demon fighting Bullsh*t that last for 400+ chapters. My question is who was reading this garbage ?? how did netflix say yeah guys this the one lets animate this
