Review of World Trigger

This is my first anime review, I want to start off with that to show how strongly I feel about this show. At first glance I felt iffy about starting World Trigger as the art wasn't anything special and people complained about the odd pacing/redundant recaps. But I was incredibly bored in quarantine and was looking for a "mindless" shonen battle show.... and it was the BEST decision ever. While I do agree that the pacing starts off stilted and slow, this lasted not even 3 episodes until the show rapidly sped up. The world building in relation to the storyline was solid and succinct;nothing ever happened randomly that contradicted previous set ups (something incredibly difficult to do considering how many characters, weapon types, battle skills there were.) Every episode, new characters are introduced while the old ones remained relevant. While others might not like these two points but one unique trait of World Trigger is that the protagonist indeeds add to the show but he does not receive overwhelming attention or screen time that slows down the story. Additionally, the show doesn't take itself too seriously in term of a dark thematic approach. There are little risks of grave injury or death so you don't have to fear for any tragic incidents, yet the battles are still thrilling and engaging (perfect for those with anxiety lol). Finally, the best part of the show is the battle strategies, specifically the tactical strategy within and amongst teams. I honestly don't know how the author does it as each battle round is 3-4 teams each with 3-4 members with distinct personality and weapon usage. That is up to 16 characters' actions to plan for at once, not even including the changing terrain (seriously if you don't believe me, search up World Trigger best battle vids on YT and you'll be hooked.) I honestly believe this show is way underrated and it would've been one of the most popular anime today if not for the slight rough start and the author's long hiatus. So please please watch WT and tell your friends too so this desperate fan can get herself a long awaited 3rd/4th season.
