Yes . Its why the anime community has been invaded by shitty tourists and is no longer what it once was anymore

I wouldn't call Buso Renkin mid - it was pretty cool. It played around usual shounen tropes rather intricately, making it actually interesting to watch - much better than something like, I dunno, Kaiba from that same era, which was just a shorter naruto or whatever. Papillon and Bravo were also some of the greatest side characters ever.
I call it mid because while its got a lot of strong elements, its not amazing enough to be gushed about and recommended heavily. Its got a lot of great characters and some really solid moments, but its background lore is boring and its final arc is fucking terrible. And for a single season show, losing a solid like 20% of your runtime to an arc that bad is a huge deal.
I still remember how annoyed I was that our main girl, who was a tough, serious character for most of the run time, spent a solid like two episodes just crying Kazuki over and over at the end like a sobbing wreck. All while the stupidest plots are happening around us every few seconds.
Its a real 7/10 series, with some 10/10 moments and bits but then some 3-5/10 parts too. I think it deserves to be recommended more, but not before some actual masterpieces out there.
