Linebarrels of Iron · review
What appealed to me the most was the fact this picked on boy who by mishap, get amazing powers does not instantly start being a big hero and using his power for good. I guess I am just a fan of realism even in science fiction anime, but honestly he behaved realistically in my opinion and it was a nice change. The story line for me was all about the growth of this character, how you take a picked on powerless middle school boy and slowly turn him to a mature yet fun savior of the world who accepts the burden of carrying all thelives depending on him on his shoulders.
I normally hate when the main character is leagues ahead of everyone else, sort of a goku effect. But for this show and what they were trying to do it works pretty well. The show can get very goofy and anti-climactic at times but the show pokes fun at its self when it does this.
I really enjoyed it all the way to the end and have told many of my friends to pick it up.
