This show will be remembered for decades.

People will remember that it could never compete with Cowboy Bebop.

Watanabe is a hack and Bebop was successful in spite of him.

No. People barely remember anime a few days after a season ends unless they get a trailer for a second season a weeks later.

It was alright, but it's always going to be live in the shadow of it's far better predecessor. It should've tried to do it's own thing instead of trying to be Cowboy Bebop 2.0

I don't mind if a story is "badly written". In my experience, "good writing" usually translates to "frustrating, annoying, tragic miserywank with a dash of cheating and NTR". The opposite of "good writing" therefore does not equal a bad story.

If it wasn't for Watanabe it'd already be forgotten about. The only reason anyone will really ever remember it because it's him. The soundtrack and ep07 ED is worth remembering, but they're not even that fantastical. Missed potential the show.

It's Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop, it has episodes dedicated to world building and character before having a few final episodes dedicated to the main arc.

A vocal minority of conservative hate it because there's a transgender side character that appears for a few seconds in episode 2.

Yeah just disregard the fact that the entire premise of the show is an extreme urgency that somehow gets completely lost in dumbass side plots that go nowhere because everything that ever happens absolutely has to be about your petty idpol shit.

I would have loved it even if it weren't done by Watanabe, there's not a lot of anime done in this spy-fi genre at all. If anything, Watanabe is what caused people to increase their expectations and become disappointed in it.

Lycoris Recoil was on the same level as this but people loved it and wanted more, me included.

Have you seen or watched any film/show with a doomsday premise at all? They rarely solve anything in the first or middle, it's always last minute. The same thing happened in Macross when earth got annihilated by an alien force

I saw the clip and it didn't bother me, Watanabe is too much of a boomer liberal to even know "deadnaming" is a problematic thing or whatever. Not so different from something like Tokyo Godfathers. Meanwhile Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night was far worse with how its "non-cis" character (was she even really "trans", it was a goofy Tumblr tier identity bordering on otherkin) was specifically informed by nerdy culture war bullshit

When I first saw an ad for it I thought it was some western cartoon doing the mimicking anime thing, only to find out that it was an anime, but still has that feel of western copy.

Biggest example of a 5/10 anime I can give. Not good but not that awful either, but you can tell that he just had cool moments and ideas in his mind but wasn't sure how to get to them so he just made stupidity happen in the middle until we got to the scenes he actually thought about.
