This show is unenjoyable in pretty much every aspect. I suggest you watch this show if you are either a masochist, love to see the exact same character design 100+ times, love seeing no character development, or like terrible art styles that progressively get worse over 113 episodes.
They really could not come up with more than 3 or 4 character designs, so everyone who is not a robot in the show looks exactly like either Maetel or Harlock, with the exception of old people and Tetsurou, who has probably the worst main character design of all time. Why the hell does his head become longer and longer as the show goes on, I really never understood that.
Pretty much every character is incredibly shallow and has no true morals that make them interesting characters, and they all just want money, looks, power, etc.
The only enjoyable parts of the show is that it is funny to make fun of (but even that gets old after about 10-15 episodes), and that the soundtrack is pretty good until any action starts happening (which randomly occurs about every 5 minutes).
Most action is completely random with absolutely no meaning or development to the plot whatsoever, and it feels very out of place. The first half of almost every episode is just this random, meaningless, terrible action, then they try to transition to actual plot for the last 10 minutes of every episode. Then they use the narrator at the last minute of every episode to attempt to find meaning in these stupid episodes by spewing corny lessons or messages.
There are pretty much plot holes every minute that are never explained and fully glossed over with more action, in an attempt to get people to look away from all of it. There are random scenes that feel like they should be counted as comedy but somehow the show still takes itself incredibly seriously, and we get to see random violence and deaths pretty much all the time for pretty much no reason other than the fact that they wanted more action.
And MOST OF ALL, the ICING ON THE CAKE of this absolute DUMPSTER FIRE of an anime, Hoshino Tetsurou has the most unbearable voice acting in all of anime. My ears were blasted every two seconds by this stupid kid screaming "MATE!!!!", "MAETEL!!!!" or "YADA!!!". I genuinely despise this character and the voice acting from the bottom of my heart, there is nothing good about his character, he does the exact opposite of what he is told at all times, creates unnecessary conflict, and overall is the most annoying POS of all time.
This is easily my least favorite anime of all time, I do not see almost any redeeming qualities in it, and I think anyone who enjoys this is coping for the days they wasted watching it or are truly masochistic.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SPARE YOURSELF FROM WATCHING THIS SHOW! DONT! DONT DO IT! IT IS THE WORST ANIME OF ALL TIME! DONT WATCH THIS SHOW SPEND YOUR TIME ELSEWHERE ANYTHING ELSE IS BETTER I SWEAR.
