**Going into this. Ill just say, this is a rant, and this is just my opinion, i know im not entitled to anything and dont know everything so this is to get other opinions.**
I think To Be Hero X, was very, very bad. Like, terrible. Ive always seen not even a handful of other Animes (Which im not even sure if I would call this an Anime) and shows this bad.
Firstly, the animation is bad. Decent at times, but overall bad for something 3D with EXCEPTIONS because at times it looks great, but even in those moments it always feels off. So here's my actual problem.
I think To Be Hero X uses Ai Generation for certain scenes. And i say this because ive noticed that choreography is very bad. Some scenes dont even look like a human animating it would make the decision to lead from this scence, and this angle, to this scene and this next angle because it leads to confusion, and usually more than not defeats the purpose of the scene.
A fight scene, for reference. Will go from action and the characters fighting to suddenly just going off both of the characters? Thats odd. And for the Ai, this very specific scene from the first few episodes, Lingling/Nice fighting Nice's best friend, when they both hit the floor, and i know we all know what im talking about. The way they ran at each other was very, very, not human made, its a common mistake you will almost always see from Ai if you'd try to make a scene like that.
Another reason for this thought is that you'll notice that some scenes also tend to seem off leading to another, like i said earlier. Instead of flowing into it, or using an angle or normal shot, it just seems like the entire scene changes, like a new Generation was made and messed up to render the first shot. Its very odd. And not something I think a Professional Studio would make a mistake on.
The pacing for the episodes, id also say it bad, if not questionable. Not particularly combat senses but as a whole. I think the places where they choose to have dialogue, have a flashback or a memory, and how they choose to show it or lead to it being shown is very poor. It carries weight, sure, I might remember something sure, but that's mostly carried by the voice acting, which even that feels off at times, and the animation, for one reason or another. Mostly when its good animation.
The storyline and pacing, i did hate, initially, and if I'm being honest I still kind of do. But from what I understand now, its basically falling the people currently in the top 10, which is actually cool, I hope they dont try it again, but the concept is nice. I only understand this after some light research and mostly because of the very last episode.
And moving on if there is a second season, I hope that now, since they've done that, they dont ever have to do it again. Because the way that they did this, in my opinion, is piss fucking poor. Im gonna be very blunt, and no, I dont think id be good at even writing, but I think I could do a LOT better myself.
The way they switch so suddenly from Ling Ling and Moon, which, I really started to not like that little arc, I was willing to watch it through. Just for the very next episode to drop all of that entirely and switch Mc's and all other surroundings characters. The switch was so out of nowhere that at first I thought it was just a flashback, but it turns out that wasnt the case. Even though it was in the past by alot, im assuming? Since we have a youngr Ling Ling.
By the time I realized it wasnt just a flash back they switched everything again. With an even worse transition
There is no transition, its all just instant. We dont even get to see the other characters before hand so its not like we know what is going on. This is horrible, why would they do it like that? I honesty have not the slightest clue.
Im going to stop this right here. But I have alot of other opinions on this, im very open minded so I just want to see other opinions on this.
I'd just say maybe im in the wrong because I started watching this after hearing all the hype, and my expectations were very high. But even so, this barely fits my lowest expectations, im very biased because my mood is ruined as I write this.
