May you please explain the appeal of it to the unenlightened such as I?

I gave it a try. I didn’t much like it. I see why it would appeal to a lot of people. The premise is very cool and it is very stylized and it has some interesting characters and interactions. That said it is very classic “shonen” and falls into tropes I’ve never been super fond of. I really wanted to like it as it seemed many were talking about it but… maybe one day I’ll give it another try. I might just not be the right audience for it and that is ok.
