About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast-moving supernatural action series with humor, heart, and lots of battles, especially if you like Dragon Ball Z; Not for you if you dislike violence or long tournament-style arcs.
Pros: exciting fights; memorable characters; strong English dub | Cons: familiar shonen beats; some drawn-out battles; uneven later episodes
