Sabuikui Bisco's strength is clearly its worldbuilding. It has a dystopian government, rust disease, LOTS OF MUSHROOMS!!!!, AWESOME mushroom archer people who SHOOT MUSHROOMS!!, a crab steed, cool cyborg animal things like a machine gun wasp, a creepy (but very cool) fingers worm, and more!!
The character designs are pretty cool as well- Bisco's design especially. His goggles are awesome (though I wish we saw some more practical use for them) and I also wish we got a backstory for his tattoo-thing. Additionally I think it's a little dumb that they made Bisco unreasonably strong because he didn't really need to be THAT strong, because his strength kind of downplays his skill as an archer?
Also the opening title and ending title were both BANGERS OMG.
Now for complaints: First, let's start with the traveling. Milo and Bisco were traveling ALL over the place with their crab. It took days. Yet Milo's sister caught up to them super easily. I mean I guess she has a motorcycle while Bisco has a crab, but still! There was definitely some pacing issues with that. I feel like a simple picture of a map tracking their progress before/in the middle of each episode would have been an easy solution and also would have allowed the viewers to understand the scope and scale of things.
Next, I guess this isn't really a complaint nor bad necessarily, but they were trying very hard to make sure Milo and Bisco's relationship did NOT look romantic. There was this one point where Milo was hurt and Bisco was caring for him, they were saying some stuff, and the writers(?) were like: "SHOOT this makes them look gay- QUICK QUICK MAKE THEM DO SOMETHING STRAIGHT!" "Uh uhhhh I KNOW! Let's have Milo randomly shout 'MY SISTER HAS HUGE BREASTS' or something!" And that's exactly what happened smh. I mean I like the Milo's sister x Bisco ship (otp fr) but dang
!!! Now for SUPER EXTREME SPOILERS:!!
Ok the last few episodes were really WEAK. The plot went downhill. Like why the hell did Bisco jump down to kick the guy instead of just shooting him with an arrow from up high. Why didn't he just jump up after pushing that guy into the lava. The creators(?) were trying too hard to kill off Bisco. But if we see the protag die and the first thing viewers say is "that was frickin' stupid" then you've failed. Kill him off better smh. They did Bisco injustice.
THEN Bisco shouted "ILL BE BACK" and I immediately knew that he was going to die and come back somehow. Very obvious plot twist :(
Also, part of this WHOLE thing was Milo learning to become a badass mushroom archer and to be useful. And the last few episodes DID acknowledge that, but Milo did NOT actually do anything to defeat the monster dude. Milo said "I can do this. I can do this without Bisco!!" as a confidence thing, but THEN Bisco came back to life to save Milo's butt. So Milo still clearly depended on Bisco and little character development occurred in that regard.
All in all, SABIKUI BISCO IS A MUST-WATCH!!!! It's EPIC worldbuilding more than compensates for its few plot holes.
