Mebius Dust

10 years after a mysterious meteorite crashes to Earth, people called "Rams Carriers" develop superhuman abilities called "Rams". However, those who develop these special abilities can only survive in the presence of the "Mebius Dust" released by a giant crystal, and so they are forbidden from leaving the town of Shinkatsushika.

Within Shinkatsushika, Rams Carrier children use their Rams to play a territory-conquering game to alleviate their boredom at being unable to leave town. High school student Araki along with his younger sister, Stella, and his childhood friend, Olga, form a team called "Polis Hopper" and throw themselves into the game. Their destinies begin to change when Professor Yuda, a researcher who studies Rams, asks them to participate in a certain experiment...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

I don't understand the score. This anime doesn't deserve a 5. There are way worse anime that get 8/10 and are worse than this. I stayed for 3 episodes and half of the 4th, which is rare when I drop an anime.

The main problem is the MC's voice acting... there's no soul. Another big problem is that it feels like a season 2, or like a sequel to a manga or game. We're dropped into a world without much explanation about the characters and have to figure things out ourselves.

The MC can talk to a loli god or ghost, but they don't explain who she ... is. It also looks like his teammates don't know about her or even know that he can see her. The interactions between the characters are quite weird and confusing.

Animation-wise, story-wise, and character-wise, everything is pretty mid, but it somehow works. Like I said, I don't usually keep track of how many episodes I watch before dropping an anime (I should start doing that), but there are tons of anime rated 8/10 that I rated 1/10 and dropped after the first episode. This one made it to the 4th episode before I gave up because the MC is annoying, but the other characters are cool. It's worth a try.

Also, if you're a character artist like me, this anime can be good for character inspiration. I don't need it because I'm already very creative, but it could be useful for people who struggle with creativity.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (6/12 eps)

When I first watched a few episodes of this anime, the thought that lingered in my mind was what prompted Doga Kobo to say, "Yes, this is the project that I want to spend my time and money on."

I eventually figured out that this show is actually part of a massive multi-collaboration project called Project ANIMA that had been running since 2018. During this initiative, these companies accepted public story submissions and turned them into original television anime series.

Three anime came to fruition. The sci-fi winner was Sakugan, aired 2021. The fantasy winner was Mahoutsukai ni Narenakatta Onna no Ko no Hanashi, aired in 2024. ... Lastly, the kids and games winner was Mebius Dust, this anime

I never expected that some anime I watched years ago would somehow have a connection with this one in terms of production. Based on my memory, observations, and a recent rewatch, I can comfortably say that Mebius Dust is probably the worst of them all.

Sakugan has a decent story, great character design, and a solid premise, although the worldbuilding is weak and the final act is just meh. Mahoutsukai ni Narenakatta Onna no Ko no Hanashi is basically just a less impressive version of Little Witch Academia with a pastel color aesthetic. But all in all, they still know what they want to be, and their plots are clear.

This anime is just as confused about its identity as I am.

At first, the story starts with the premise that meteors hit all over the world ten years ago, so you might think it is a post apocalyptic setting. No, it is not. The city is pretty much just a normal city with the so called meteor levitating above it. They show for a brief moment that this meteor did cause a decent amount of destruction, but they do not even instantly elaborate on it. They just leave it there as if to say, "Yeah, shit happens."

And then what is the aftermath? Some kids got powers. Yeah, that is the entire aftermath. They never focus on that aspect, and instead, they focus on the game. Like I mentioned before, Mebius Dust is supposed to be a kids and game anime. Here is the thing, though. The game itself is not clear. What exactly is the prize? Why is it a thing? What is the purpose of such a competition before Dr. Yuda comes onto the scene to tell us that he wants to run a little experiment?

Also, there is a mention that the government considers these kids with powers, or LAM, to be dangerous. They are supposedly so dangerous that their lives are monitored, and using their powers outside the competition in the city will literally get them a warning through their phones. But why the fuck do you even make a competition held in the exact same city where they can freely use their powers if you think they are so dangerous?

What happened here is basically the equivalent of William Stryker, the X-Men enemy and avid mutant hater, just saying, "You know what, round up these fucking mutants and make them compete in a football match near my domicile."

I could go on and on about this, but in short, the worldbuilding fucking sucks.

Now moving on to the powers, I have never seen a set of superpowers more random than in this anime. You literally have a guy whose power is summoning a fish fin that he can hold on to so he can glide on surface. I could be high on greens and even I would not have that idea.

Furthermore, the power distribution in this anime is a bitch. You have a guy who can get stronger and more muscular, and then there is this girl Anzu who has wings and can literally just fly and turn invisible. Olga, one of the main heroines, has hair that can be shaped into dangerous tendrils. Stella, our other heroine, can basically become a bootleg version of XLR8 from Ben 10. It is not the most original concept in the world, but it is still a useful ability.

But then we get this girl named Maria, whose power basically just makes her finger sharp. And yes, I do not mean fingers, I mean a single finger. So far from what I have seen, she can only change her pinky. HER FUCKING PINKY! This is supposed to be after she gets an upgrade too by the way and she is a member of one the strongest team. I am so confused. Who designs these superpowers?

Also, some superpowers never even get a clear explanation. Take this guy Kei, for instance. Based on what I see, his power is basically forcing people to fangirl or fanboy over him, but it is never really explained properly.

Take Haruto. His power is basically spawning multiple hands. And his role? He is a healer! Like, what the fuck? What is the correlation between those two things?

I can ramble about more things, but in short, the power system fucking sucks.

As for the story? Watching this anime feels like I just skipped one or two seasons. They simply dump everything on you, and a new episode always brings a new problem. They expect us to care about these characters in the first episode, while simultaneously not putting in the effort to actually make us care about them. Things just go whoosh. I keep saying "Huh?" along the way. I had an easier watch experience with Sonny Boy than this. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR A YOUNGER AUDIENCE! I am not exactly the target demographic, but even my brain got short-circuited by the sudden lore drops sometimes. I do not know if I am in my retard hour or if this anime is genuinely that confusing. This show needs at least 24 episodes to resolve everything they set up. While I highly doubt it will get 24 episodes, I am really, really hoping I am wrong.

Also, there are a few rumors that this anime will eventually have a dark twist. In all honesty, that would make this show even worse. Setting aside the fact that it is meant for kids, I do not think straight up plunging these characters into a depressive situation is good story development. It is uncalled for, tasteless, and genuinely a mood killer, assuming the plot has not killed your mood already.

But let's just say I watched this anime like I was a kid, not caring too much about the plot and only focusing on the game. THE GAME IS STILL FUCKING BORING! Everything feels so slow and plain. This anime should be fast-paced, yet it feels like I am watching turn-based combat. Doga Kobo is genuinely the worst pick for an anime like this.

Episode 4, where they play with balls, is probably the most tedious section of the entire anime. I YAWNED FOUR TIMES!

Now let me give this anime a bit of praise. Their music choice is decent. At least their opening is not techno-riddled rock hype music, and their ending is not puking glitter on the sheet. It is actually slow and calming music, almost mellow if I can be honest.

Regarding the characters, most of them are likable. I love Olga, I love Stella, and I love the master Shippomarimo and his whole crew. They are probably the most fun set of characters in this anime. I dare say this show would probably be better if they were the main characters.

Also, most of them are visually pleasing or at least easy on the eyes.

To be honest, though, you need to be a different breed of incompetent to make anime girls look painful to see, so I do not know if this could even be counted as praise.

Overall, boy, I do not even know. I never want to fully claim an anime is "not recommended at all," but this one is really pushing it. It is not a "so good it's bad" anime, and it is certainly not a good anime. It is just painfully boring and mediocre. I think the only people I can recommend this to are those who have already watched it and just want to see it end, like me. If not, just watch another show, man. Save your time.

Not Recommended

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

There is a debate that is boring, worse than bad. This is the question I ask myself 3 episodes into the anime original Mebius Dust. Episode 1 did a decent job exploring the concept, and then nothing happens. Like nothing from a story purpose that captures your attention. Essentially, you are filled with a void of a show that does nothing.

An anime original done by Doga Kobo at first it sounds like something that would get you excited. Though it is clear that they prioritized "Though I Am an Inept Villainess" as even the production is below the studio's typical output. Unless you like bland ... and directionless shows. This one is an easy skip.
