l'ecole des champions
The physical comedy that is generated by their interaction is not something revolutionary, but it is tried and tested, and never fails to amuse when done properly. As more of the cast is slowly revealed, you get the feeling it is almost gearing up to be a proper Shounen.
Animation: Sometimes, it seems as if David Production don't know when to stop. Without a doubt this is by far the best animated show of the season. The very first big fight on the second episode has elements from a particular Mob Psycho fight, a particular Jujutsu Kaisen fight, and a particular My Hero Academia fight. And, each of these fights were what established those franchises as what they would
eventually become.
Then there are sharp and crisp backgrounds, which add a nice hue to the action. Movement looks so smooth, probably pointing
towards the amount of in between frames. It does seem that the animators have brought their A game to the fore. It's never a surprise when David Production are involved though.
The opening theme has some really, really amazing animations.
