For me it's like a solid 7, why?
1. Story
It's interesting at first but still need more explanation. It's like adventure with comedy and serious moments but still lack of deep feelings or big motivation. Yes there's goals what they want to achieve but the ending still need something more.
2. Characters
Well, this is like nothing special because you can meet these kinds in many anime. Like the loud noisy one, shy one, brave, etc. Also the bad guys are pure evil that want to destroy everything and doesn't have any deep backstory.
3. Animation
It's normal in these years, not bad but not that great. 4. Overall
If you want to watch this, just watch it entire season in one day because if you stop in middle you may forget it or lazy to continue. There's action but not that much, it's focus on…

It's a hit or miss anime depending on 1) if you even like what the trailer has to offer and 2) how much anime have you've seen. "Yeah, sure, why not" is what I most thought of during the viewing of the anime.
Pros:
The soundtrack is rather distinct for an anime. I happen to enjoy it, but it's definitely decisive to an audience, specifically for anime which never really sounds like this.
The art was acceptable, nothing too striking, but had some flair to it with vibrant colors.
Decent character moments that were pleasant to watch, although it felt as if it were going through the motions for what a typical story is like which leads me to the cons.
Cons:
The story feels uninspired. Nothing about it is terribly unique. The good guys are good because they're simply good people that want to…

I feel scammed.
Like many others, I was dazzled by the insane trailer, opening, and premise. Amidst a sea of power fantasy and/or power scaling cringe and/or isekai lay what I thought could be a genuinely underrated gem... but alas, no amount of bonkers concepts or imagery can cover mediocre execution.
The first episode was great. Concepts were presented with surprising subtlety, and the world seemed dreary without being melodramatic. For once, the protagonist wasn't some fake underdog who gets bullied and acquires great power after a near-death situation, but rather a terrorist with a huge ransom on his head whose skillset is archery that creates giant mushrooms on contact, a giant crab companion with chitin powered by plot armor, and inexplicable super strength. The co-protagonist is…

Sabikui Bisco presents a fresh take on dystopia, but can be confusing at times.
It is a dystopian world built on the remains of a plague-ridden world which affects the lives of everyone - yet it seems to impact inconsistently throughout the show.
While a fair portion of the cast was interesting to begin with, the anime suffers from static characterization. Outside of Milo and Bisco, the cast gets majorly shafted in terms of development. Pawoo and Tirol get screen time, but their "growth" is tied to the interactions and personalities of the duo rather than being a product of change. This quickly gets them flattened in order to highlight Milo and Bisco. For the characters that DO get developed, it's relatively basic. Milo understands that his moral position won't succeed in protecting thos…

Honestly, one of the most disappointing anime of its time.
The absolute hype train that was this anime's trailer and YouTuber reactions, especially Garnt's, which surfaced around the time when I first found out about the anime. And yet, after watching episode 1, you will either feel how stale these mushrooms are, or you will be high enough to keep on watching.

Again, I am one of those people who truly believe that there is no bad anime, as every anime has its own very few people who truly believe their socially rejected anime is a 10/10, which is simply beautiful.
I just feel like my personal disappointment is leading to me being as harsh as I am. I do feel like it at least deserves a 3…

Aah, the first 9 episodes are worth the watch for art and whimsy alone! This could have been more than a 7/10 anime but the plot sort of imploded on itself and lost it's way around epiosde 9. I didn't finish for a long time after watching episode 9 but came back to finish the last 4 episodes at 1.5 x speed just to say I finished it. The last four episodes were as dissapointing as I was expecting them to be, and really lacked the whimsical elements of the first 9 that had me hooked at first.
Best thing about this anime was the world building. Again, the first 9 episodes are worth the watch just for that alone. Not only was I intrigued by the Mushroom Keeper fighting style, but the slug planes, giant desert crabs, flying fish, and machine gun strapped hippos added so much whimsy to this wor…

Honestly one of the most underrated anime I have ever seen. I thought about watching it for a long time but the reviews made it seem like it looked interesting but was in fact terrible. After watching it I understood why people hated it. The anime is pretty good until ep 7&8. Those 2 eps are terrible so most people quit watching at that point. In reality though, It does return to being great. It seems a lot of people who say it's still bad after those 2 episodes mostly haven't even watched until the end. Even the fact that most negative reviews saying "don't watch it" instead of saying "it's bad" kinda shows that. I know this isn't actually a review but I though it would be good to explain the actual situation with this anime in case someone finds it interesting but gets bullied into not w…

Sabikui Bisco was an anime I was invested in since seeing its first trailer, with its unique art style, and what seemed to be a unique story presentation. Unfortunately, this series failed to live up to my expectations. It did present the unique story, interesting characters, and so on, but ended up being a rather odd progression towards its ending, and by the end, I was left sort of disappointed that this unique world and characters was wasted. That being said, I did relatively enjoy it week to week, and apparently it is getting a S2, which I would definitely look out for simply due to its world, which I love.
Animation 9/10
- Love the presentation, character designs and world design are enticing.
Sound 7/10
- Decent sound design, ok OP/ED, good VA work. Love Pawoo character.
Story 6/10…

In world where people are experiencing an illness called rust that slowly saps their lives, a lone doctor tries to heal the sick with mushrooms. He runs into mushroom hunters (including the titular Sabikui) and together they seek a rust-eating mushroom.
It's a good time to watch with a really intriguing world that the series doesn't really investigate in-depth, but that kind of works for this set-up. It’s a good turn your brain off kind of series with an ending that jumped the shark a couple more times than I’m happy with, but still managed to put a smile on my face. Probably ranking this too high as well, but what it does, it does well.

Except the final part of the anime, where asspull reigns supreme, Bisco is a great anime with a unique story going for it.
Also very pleasant animation for the eyes, with its unique style.
Character wise, some are cliched characters, tropes seen in many animes, but there are also other unique ones. Bisco, the main character, isn't anything new, but Milo, Tirol and Jabi are. Not fully new, but they have unique characters that seperates from the common mass of the tropes.
Opening and ending ost, great.
The problem with the last part is it seemed the author didn't know what to do with the two main characters. Many things that could have been handled a better way, so in the story they would make sense as well, but they were not coherently put together. Also i hate when, for plot reason, t…

When I was watching this, the score for me, changes from time to time, it's either 6 or 7. I was actually enjoying it until episode 10, in episode 10, some bullshit happens then episode 11, even more bullshit happened, without those 2 bullshit plot, this is easily a 7, come on they'd put a somewhat logical plot here then throw it all away in the last episodes, I don't know if that's what really happened in the Light Novel and manga versions.
I somewhat love the characters, probably around 6 to me, some characters are inconsistent, my favorite character in the series doesn't even have a script, it isn't even human, yeah it's Actagawa.
If you're familiar with the "they'd pull off a fairy tail" then you know what BS I mean.

Don’t get me wrong: This anime is just stupid fun.
It feels like something you would enjoy as a kid because the MC’s are OP, there is a lot funny moments, and there is waifus.
But apart from that, you can say it’s a series that just focus on the action, losing me a bit in the worldbuilding. It is really good, but the screws feel a little bit loose.
But at the end of the day, you are just having great fun with a easy to watch series.
The art style is just amazing. K Akagishi has a strong art, and the adaptation is decent. But oh my god, some times the animation is goofy, mainly on the CGI.
I really recommend this series, but don’t take it seriously. Let it amaze you without being a snob about reality. At the end of the day, it’s a series about mushroom warriors. Don’t be harsh on it and you…

The anime is some weird a$ shounen sh1t with post-apocalyptic small towns, supernatural biology, getting high on mushrooms of life, battling rust of death, eternal souls, and power of friendship transcending all.
The story can be surprising sometimes, but overall feels like an acid trip.
I liked the art style. It is quite colorful despite being a post-apocalypse.
The characters are stereotypical. Mostly brash and stupid.
None of the characters have common sense nor realism.
It's simply a hit or miss.
I couldn't bring myself to watch it in a single setting for how boring it can be at times.
Overall, I kind of felt disappointed and it felt like a chore to finish.

A horde of ripped hippos with military artillery mounted on their backs stampede across the screen, making aim at a spiky haired archer riding on a colossal crab. An elderly man in the background takes aim and one-shots a hippo, causing the growth of a massive mushroom to rupture its skull. One phrase comes to mind:
"What the fuck?"
Sabikui Bisco is a hyper-crack acid ride that's inexplicably attractive because of its gritty and insane portrayal of a post-apocalyptic world. I don't want to divulge too much about the premise in light of the fact that there's no point; the entire point of a show like this is that it takes the viewer by surprise in how "out there" it is. Premise aside, it was really just one hell of a ride the whole way through. Though there were problems present with pacin…

This anime wasn't half bad. I had stopped at episode 5 a while back because I just wasn't feeling it. Upon picking baf up, I felt a bit more lo e for what it had to offer. The way it ended didn't have a solid landing but the bulk of the show at least held its own.
I wasn't going to write a review originally however part of the theme of this anime stuck with me and I couldn't shake the idea. If you at all and ever want a general idea of how the American Healthcare system is like in America? This kinda spells it out perfectly, not gonna lie.

I really, REALLY tried to watch Sabikui Bisco in one sitting. I couldn't. It took me FOUR MONTHS to go through this and I lived to tell the tale..
.. of how shit this show is.
While Bisco is pounding that Panda bussy, let's reflect on the good times.
There weren't any good times.
This show started with a interesting setting but a incredibly stupid premise. A guy fighting "rust" with mushrooms. They are really running out of ideas in Japan I tell ya. I tried to do quick research on "Mushrooms and Rust" and ended up with results primarily from game Rust and people telling others to not eat them in Rust.
I was hoping to find some connection between Mushrooms and Rust, since I can't, I'm assuming the writer and director were high on shrooms when they came up with this stupid idea.
Art is…

9/10 anime, super underrated and anyone giving this a lower score than an 8 is buggin. A thrill ride from start to finish (for season 1) Beautiful animation, amazing OST, Characters are fantastic but I will say their development seems rushed, but it doesn't take away from the thrill of the show.
Even if you don't like bizarre (yes it's always time for a Joj's reference) out of pocket shows, give this one a chance. Yes it's fast paced, but the world they build here is just fantastic. It really just gives me the same feelings of wonder I had when I first watched Made In Abyss.

i love the idea of this fiction story, but i think it needs more background story to show. this will be great if at least netflix or any make this anime as a live action, hoping that the cgi will help to improve the visualization even better.
i like the storyline, giving a clip of flashback, not much. but not how the flashback goes on.
character development is good at the biginning. going from mid-end, i'm hoping for more expectation, but it didn't reach my expectation
i dont like the ending, its still unacceptable for me. i'm hoping for more rational ending

I wanted to write a review to counter the overly-severe critics of the show. Let me say first: anyone who complains about animation, dialogue, or characters are blowing hot air.
TLDR: If you enjoy HunterXHunter or One Piece, you will enjoy Sabikui Bisco. Though not perfect, there is no good reason not to enjoy this 12 episode series as the bite-sized shounen it is, with all the highs and lows that follow the genre.
Sabikui Bisco is an action-adventure comedy featuring a fantastically engaging world and a cast of characters to match, including a friendship straight out of The Epic of Gilgamesh. It's a fun, post-apocalyptic romp with dynamic characters and story. It sucks you in from episode one, as even the most severe critics admit to "wanting to like it". My response is that, if you w…

fu**ing awesome anime
if you are looking for something to have fun and watch, without being a critic and trying to check every flaw , u will get anime worth your time ..
super enjoyable .
great story, emotions, characters ,music, animation , world building, SWAGnStlye, voice acting,top tier bromance, no bs romance.
sure it has major writing flaws like pink girl hurting jabi and then getting forgiven without explaination/dialouge,
villain having plot armour and not dying easy
senseless character decisions that led to unwanted, easily avoidable trouble but the amount of entertainment and adrenaline this brings is enough for me
SPOILER WARNING:
and that kiss makes it 10/10
