Thunder 3
Oshimeter
Synopsis
A strange DVD discovered by three middle schoolers opens a portal to a parallel universe. Sounds like a standard isekai setup, right? Here's where it gets weird: when Pyontaro's little sister Futaba chases a hyper-realistic dragonfly crawling out of their TV screen, she gets pulled into this alternate Earth and kidnapped by the aliens running the place. Now Pyontaro and his two best friends have to go in after her. The twist that makes Thunder 3 interesting is the power system. The boys exist in a cartoonish, manga-style world, and when they cross into the Multiverse, which looks almost disturbingly realistic, that visual gap actually becomes their superpower. Their exaggerated cartoon bodies make them basically superhuman in a world governed by different physical rules. It's a clever concept that plays with the medium itself. The tone leans mysterious and unsettling rather than pure action. The Multiverse isn't a fun fantasy land; it's an occupied Earth overrun by aliens, and the show takes its time letting that sink in. There's a real sense of danger underneath the adventure, and the contrast between the boys' goofy home world and the grim parallel universe keeps things off-balance in a good way. If you liked the alien invasion atmosphere of Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction, or the "normal people thrown into a brutal other world" energy of Gantz, this TV series based on the manga hits a similar nerve, just with a younger cast and a genuinely original hook.

Good 1st ep. Stop there and go with the manga. The anime adaptation is horrible.
Officially a waste of time, don't even try to get me in the 2nd season. 12 episode that feels like 4 ep but took 12 eps to finish.
Futaba yelling for Pyontaro from that ship right above him and he just can't hear her is the cruelest thing this show has done. All that power and no way to just listen
Ten episodes to finally say the name of your own show out loud. That title drop got a laugh out of me more than anything
Segami getting bodied right after the Empowerall reveal is so brutal. spent all that time hyping him up for him to just get clapped by the dreadlock alien. starting to think the only ones who can actually hurt these guys are the kids
I could not stop smiling during the flying scene. the classic rock kicks in and these three little dudes just soar over the city like it's a 90s action movie. the contrast with what's waiting for them in Shibuya got me
those aliens freaking out at the low detail background people was the funniest thing this show has done. bro they just started blasting abstract abominations like that is somehow the sane response
Genius-sama just deleted three elite aliens like they were nothing and honestly that hipfire on the bald one through the smoke was cold. But that cheering squad around him felt like a parody. Show cant decide if its grim or silly.
Feels very slow and uninteresting at this point
This should've happen like as the climax of a 120 min movie. but instead we spent 220mins getting here because everything is stertched out for a series with shitty 3d cgi.
I still dont understand what's the point of the real life humans having so much screentime and buildup though, when the chibis are the only ones that can actually fight back. It feels like they're just there as fillers for the lack of content. At least this episode we get to see the chibis fighting
I cant really appreciate the 3d real life action fighting scenes at all, they dont really feel strong and powerful enough like its lacking momentum. For the chibi 3d it still looks okay though. An interesting development though is that the Aliens actually went to the chibi world, thats interesting. But still the overall pacing is so slow, the thunder 3 just finally arrived in Shibuya after a few episodes.
So freaking slow, every panel is like 5 seconds for no reason, the action of those 3d models are just god damn awful!!
The pacing on this show is really bad. The front few minutes are basically just flashback of previous episode. Basically the only thing we discovered in tthis episode is that the Aliens are just looking to conquer and fight someonr worthy.
This series suffers from "we'll strtch every panel as long as we can because it should've been a movie lengh 140min but we want it to be a season. trash
PACE FASTER PLEASE
I had no choice but to check out the manga from here, the difference in quality is insane, the adaptation is doing the manga a huge injustice. Very dissapointing.
Looked through the manga and i gotta say the anime does not do it justice. Honestly the 3d for people are just off putting and the facial expressions are so stiff. The pacing and storyboarding also feels really slow and dragged out. The quality of the episodes have been going downhill.
that nasal spray ability is completely absurd and I love it swapping a motorcycle right inside an alien torso was so brutal
I can not believe they handed Segami a manual via QR code right before sending him into a Shibuya warzone
