It finally clicked with me why I love Love LOVE Ikebukuro West Gate Park as much as I do.
The writer and main protagonist, King, the police chief, the G Boyz, the Red Angels.... everybody in this series loves the romanticized idea of The City as much as I do.
Also, it feels like a persona side story, minus the supernatural. You know how you're going about town doing odd jobs and shyt before going back in the dungeon?
This is my favorite anime this season not named Wiene- I mean DanMachi. Too bad it's not gonna get the looks it deserves. Might get a cult following later.
