humantwig said: AYYYYY like-minded beings sound alike.This show is all over the place, random and "complex". This is why I find it so interesting and I love it. Just like other shows like this, I love to figure it out myself and draw ideas and conclusions from what is being shown. It's also quite relaxing and after another watch I would probably like it more and more. I'm gonna remember this one for a while. I should say this first, but OP, you're such an elitist, go watch your Shonen shit like AOT or something. |

| wait for the last episode before speaking we will have at least partially the answers |
| A show that is hard on itself. To viewers it looks like it takes itself seriously and tackles issues of varying leves and complexity. But the point it makes is lost because it can't get it's message across, is what I mean when I say "hard on itself". Shame to, if only it didn't look so much like "Super Cub" and more like "Horimiya", it would have gotten at least a pity point from me. |

| don't compare this to NGE, that show is hot garbage i will have to do a rewatch sometime, but i didn't have any problem following this show, except maybe towards the end. i bet i missed a bunch of stuff but that's why i want to watch again, kind of like penguindrum. |

| it really do be like that, there is a lot of cut off in detail that is absolutely symbolic because its up to user interpretation some times or it just revisits the cut off later. |

But man, the way Sonny Boy tries to do it is absolutely elitist and this is the BIGGEST PROBLEM of this anime... It's not dynamic, it's boring (Monkey episode, I'm talking to you...), the anime just plays and throws information every second, and requires you to pay attention to every cut, every scene transition, in the text, in the subtext, in the scenery, even in the dubbing (voice coming from beyond talking to the little star's douchebag in the face out of nowhere), everything. If you miss even 1 of these details you're gone, it's hard to get into that. I feel like this anime tried to be "The End of Evangelion" from the beginning, only without the context of the characters in the past, without their nuances, without even knowing them or the world, or the rules properly. Which if evangelion had tried to do it would have failed miserably. no what you are describing is serial experience lain, I personally had no problem understanding the series, and didn't find it boring for even a second. |

| I don't think it's trying to be "abstract" ...it's just pretty special in it's Themes and presentation. I agree, it's hard to follow and the cut's make this whole Show really choppy, at times. I didn't like that either. Still, some would argue the complexity and Detail of this Show are more of it's strong points instead of flaws. It's one of these Anime that you either hate or love, I feel. All in all I just think we should at least acknowledge the aesthetics and the thought that's gone into this. If anything, the Anime was at least pretty unique imo |

Isn't this a thing you should do for any anime? which is paying attention at whatever is happening so you have a clear mind of what the series is about and making sure a show has plot holes or not! Or are you one of those people who just watch anime despite not having an attention spam of 20 minutes and just look at your phone in case you're bored? You can just say the show isn't for you, it's not that hard! Also you're not lost if you miss one single detail... you're exaggerating lol |
  MAL is the perfect place to shit talk about people's opinions. |

| This takes place in the world of absurd, why do you expect everything to make sense?xD It was more or less understandable with some details being weird that I treated as 'weird part of weird world' including characters, because they become a part of this weirdness. But also I love thinking about it themes, some I understand, some I read from someone else and wonder how much sense it makes. I love thinking about characters and their lives and what choice is better if there is one. And of course the atmosphere and mystery of it all, kept me hooked and the end made me emotional. Complexity only added to this experience. |
| Sonny Boy is neither interesting or smart, it's intriguing. It's more stylistic than complicated. And to me personally, the most frustrating part about it is it leaves you with this feeling of insufficiency. It's like you work your but off and despite all your exemplary performance, in the end you don't feel appreciated, satisfied or fulfilled. |

| I dont mind complex but 90% of the anime is just people talking without any background music, it bores the shit out of me. And the MC is kinda pathetic |
 |
| I'm surprised this thread was mostly popular before the anime ended, because I feel this anime spurs a lot of talk on its meaning. For me, it was pretty good and pretty deep and yeah, multitaskers aren't allowed to enjoy it since it ask to much attention, but also has an mystical and philosophical aura which is also another barrier for some. |

| The story is kind of all over the place feeling somewhat incomplete. We have all these storylines and then it kind of just ends, which almost feels like they wanted another season to some extent. Very unique ideas, but they of of go nowhere in the end. It almost feels like they jammed as many things ideas could think of and then kind of pieced the story together around it. |

| You dont get it man. Ugly looking MS paint characters is peak. Just look at the top rated MAL anime's botted by people on the spectrum. |

| What's the deal with people in this thread saying they like things being random and/or confusing? Is that an actual valid opinion to argue for? I've seen it being brought up in some other places, usually with media that contains somewhat complex themes and usually by teens that don't really know how to argue/create arguments or like to think critically(not a diss), to me that just sounds like this person has no idea why they liked a show, but since they did, they try to rationalize why that would be the case, most likely case is that the person liked the show for other reasons and just didn't mind the randomness(more of a vibes person), maybe bc they usually don't pay too much attention when watching something, so they're "used" to not really following plot super close or they're just fine with not understanding what's hapening and don't mind relevating confusing moments. Plus i don't think Sonny Boy is even confusing to begin with, it's not exactly shonen/isekai simple(in general) but i'm pretty sure it's made for the same young audience, they just needed to work more on the pacing, stripped some of the filler that doesn't really add anything, got rid of most characters, focus more on the ones left and tried making them more compelling, interesting and 3 dimensional. |

It's the incentive for people to complain about things they don't quite understand or care to understand. That being said, Sonny Boy is an experience like no other even if you weren't quite fond of it. |
