I remember this. Everybody had all sorts of cool, versatile powers, but the MC could punch things. If punching didn't solve his problem, he punched harder. If that didn't work, he screamed really loud and his magic glove grew more gizmos on it and then he could punch extra hard. That usually solved his problem.
I loved this show when it aired on Toonami and have a few of the figures. But what surprised me was I found out recently that this show had almost the same exact creative staff as my favorite anime: Code Geass. It all makes sense now.
I made a friend 14 years ago (we still are) while watching lucky star on some website that had live chat on the right side when he asked if anyone remembers that weird anime that aired on adult swim and it took place in the desert and the guy had a weird arm. Shoutout to my boy Jean!!
Same, in America I would watch it Saturday nights on Adult swim Anime would be on toonami, and I remember being so hype with the series. The song and the plot I really enjoyed it all.
Yooo, I totally forgot that this existed until someone put it on a meme! I looked it up trying to remember this anime and as soon as I heard the song it was like my brain unleashed the memories 😂 I have to rewatch this! 💜
A star walks into a black hole but doesn't seen phased. The black hole then turns to the star and says, "I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation."
The one thing about this opening that stuck with me all these years is the girl's arm position at 0:42 . It really resembles someone tied up using shibari, specifically the boxtie.
It's the jazz 'sting' (is that the right word?) immediately afterward for me. The fade backwards with her hand accentuating the flower petals synced to the music is so well juxtaposed. It makes the character complex before she's even introduced.
I know it's not in this version but did anyone ever wanna punch your friend's fist like Ryuho and Kazuma do in the other intros at the end? It would definitely hurt like hell lol.
