You forgot about the power of friendship

Ah, this is the deuteragonist arc, in which our hero finds out why his friend is so quiet and has such a bad relationship with his family.

That same arc would start with the Hot springs (Onsen) episode

Seriously now. From what I’ve read this cartoon is about a middle-aged guy who has a mediocre job, but that pays the bills. He is unhappy because all He wanted was to be a soldier and appear on TV. One day his chance knocks on his door and then confusion ensues.

From the trailer, it looks quite dull.

Frankly it’s more of a teaser as it doesn’t show anything about the anime. I presume it’s aimed at people who already know what the manga is about

This is even less of a trailer than the “dynamic teaser trailer” for SF6. What is this absolute nonsense.
If the action in the martial arts contest is a little too hard to follow, then one mustn’t worry, as there will be at least two episodes explaining the opponent’s technique and the protagonist’s carefully-prepared counter for the opponent’s technique in explicit moment-by-moment detail, to be reviewed once again in the next round of the tournament, and the subsequent flashback episode.

Jokes aside, actually it’s about a guy who wanted to fight kaijus but failed the exams who then gains the power to transform into a kaiju himself.

Don’t forget to shout out loud the name of the special technique which is unnecessarily long.
