More like a pseudo mecha anime that takes itself way too seriously with symbolism. The last 2 episodes of the original series are literally a child's mental breakdown, followed by him realizing "Hey maybe life is worth living" and everyone clapping. All in his head, of course. (Oh actually, the screenshot is from one of those episodes)

Oh and then in the movie he jerks off over a comatose girl and resumes being depressed and useless, grows a pair of balls for 2 seconds, then loses said balls and accidentally helps end the world.

Uhhh other than that it's OK. Has its moments.

Unironically, I kind of find that heartwarming (I haven't watched the related anime, I just like the idea that this character will comfort me that way)

Comfort you and put a hurting on anyone trying to mess with you. Foghorn didn’t play.

I started reading before I looked at the picture and already had foghorn leghorns voice in my head.

Well done.
