Muteking the Dancing Hero · review
MUTEKING THE Dancing HERO is, in my eyes, a masterpiece of lightweight anime. Really the only bit of the show I don't feel is top-tier is the story, which tends to be on the cheesy and shallow side a lot of the time. The cheese is definitely intentional; it's a Tatsunoko remake, and the plot isn't nearly as important as the world it takes place in and the people Muteki meets. Neo San Francisco is filled to the brim with characters who, even without ever being introduced, are memorable and you come to care about as Muteki familiarizes himself with the city he protects. It'sincredibly clear that the team working on it is overwhelmingly passionate about the show, even if they're tight on money/time/resources/etc. They've pumped so much genuine care into the series that even when it gets nearly incomprehensibly weird I still can't help but love every minute. It almost reminds me of an Ikuni series. The finale, while mostly satisfying, stumbles over itself in a way that just breaks my heart. Overall, I'd definitely recommend that people give this show a watch.
Also, Vivi-nee is the best character and anyone who disagrees can catch these hands.
