I’ve been watching like over 12 episodes of the show because people have been raving about it and calling it a masterpiece (with some saying its the “best anime ever” which is obviously some kind of meme I guess). So far my experience has been awful! This show is just so uninspired, boring and reeks of commercialism.
First off the premise makes no sense whatsoever. Somehow a kid manages to live in the White House because his father was appointed as the president’s chef. Why on earth would the chef be allowed to have him and his entire family live in the White House? I don’t think servants would be given that much of a privilege.
Plus the show itself feels like your typical disney channel original. With characters that have no personality whatsoever apart from being defined by their quirks, jokes that fall flat on their face, female characters that pretty much sound like every female character in every disney channel tv series ever, fucking annoying as heck laugh tracks and to top it all off, there’s no plot so far.
Whats even worse is that people seem to be under the assumption that this show is better than all anime out there. Yeah, I can understand it being better than the likes of ecchi comedies, harems, light novel adaptations such as Re Zero, Highschool DXD, Love Live etc, but better than stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Berserk and the Hayao Miyazaki films? Wow. If this is what anime haters like then I’m speechless.
That being said, I’ll give the show the benefit of the doubt. Does it get better later on or is it actually some meme show that people sprout out to insult anime.
