In response to their arrival, an organization called the Border Defense Agency has been established to combat the Neighbor menace through special weapons called "Triggers." Even though several years have passed after the gate first opened, Neighbors are still a threat and members of Border remain on guard to ensure the safety of the planet.Despite this delicate situation, members-in-training, such as Osamu Mikumo, are not permitted to use their Triggers outside of headquarters. But when the mysterious new student in his class is dragged into a forbidden area by bullies, they are attacked by Neighbors, and Osamu has no choice but to do what he believes is right. Much to his surprise, however, the transfer student Yuuma Kuga makes short work of the aliens, revealing that he is a humanoid Neighbor in disguise.[Written by MAL Rewrite]Related Entries   MALxJapan -More than just anime- Characters & Voice Actors Staff Episode Videos Episode 73 Episode 72 Episode 71 Episode 70Reviews  Oct 31, 2024 One of the strongest points of World Trigger's first season is its focus on strategy. Unlike many action anime, where brute force or the power of friendship often take center stage, each battle here feels like a chess game. The unique abilities of the Triggers and the need to plan each move make the fights true mental challenges, where winning requires much more than simple strength. I find this to be one of the series' most appealing aspects.The world-building is also impressive. You can see the attention to detail in the rules of the World Trigger universe, from the technology to the internal organization of... Border, which adds depth and realism to the story. Each detail seems well thought out and is revealed at just the right time, keeping the audience constantly intrigued.However, the first season isn’t perfect: the animation can fall short at times, and some filler episodes slow down the plot. Still, if you can get past these details, you’ll find a series that balances action and strategy in a refreshing way.PS: Trigger on! Reviewer’s Rating: 8 What did you think of this review? Nice 0 Love it 0 Funny 0 Confusing 0 Informative 0 Well-written 0 Creative 0Show all  Sep 16, 2024 Originally was 5/10 and wouldn't recommend, but this has A LOT of nice aspects and world builds nice kind of like One Piece. I overall recommend just finding summaries/highlights, then going to S2 (made 5+ years later).Content: extremely triggering as contains unwarranted extreme xenophobia that just wants to commit genocide and doesn't actually care about people. This was my #1 Trigger and made zero sense though EVENTUALLY stopped hampering on it.There are lots of characters, styles, combat tactics. Lots of recaps and such. There is only 1 fairly long filler arc to my knowledge.Style: it actually seemed pretty damn unique to me, I'm failing to... think of an anime that recreated it. The art can be a little redundant/annoying even if kind of fun/cute.Personal Enjoyment: early on, hated it and wanted to drop. I didn't hate the MC like a lot of people did, I thought he was pretty good, other than this positive qualities just keep on failing me. I started LOVING the anime somewhere in the middle when they had combat competitions.If you like stuff like Naruto, Boruto, One Piece, Fairy Tail, et cetera that can be a bit drawn out, I think you will like this too.If you hate that type of stuff, I recommend steering clear, but maybe getting summaries/highlights so understand S2 better as those 12 episodes are entirely clean.

That said can't believe why so many positive reviews of 8s and 9s seriously. This anime has such terrible main cast, 2/3 were useless from the beginning. The main guy tries to improve himself throughout the series and we're force to follow his boring non-progressive development for almost the entire time. The worse part is the MC received... help from many of the top rank guys but still remained as useless as if he never had any training. Can't rant anymore without spoiling too much regarding the plot.Bottom line is only watch this crap if you have nothing better to do. Even then I think there are way better animes to watch then this, or if you like the kind of idiot that is weak as hell but sprout about how he wants to be a hero and safe everyone but accomplish absolutely nothing besides talk, this is for you.
