Review of Ikebukuro West Gate Park

One main reason for all bad reviews is a lot of people went into this wanting an experience IWGP wasn't made to provide. Does that mean the show is bad? of course not. IWGP is very consistent in its overall tone, theme, and pacing. It is essentially more a-kin to Slice-of-Life then a hardcore gritty crime drama with its more light-hearted approach and easy going style. Yet it still takes itself serious enough to contain multiple climaxes, Interwoven mysteries, payoffs, and a satisfying ending. Yes its not trying to replicate the emotional weight of something on the scale of AoT, and that's fine not everystory needs to be like AoT to be good.
So overall the anime is very good I had a great time with it and I'd recommend it to anyone.
