With her parents' reluctant blessing, Andy embarks on the first step of her wrestling journey: finding a teacher; Her task takes her away from home and into the big city, where she is confronted with the reality of making one's dreams come true.

Our opinion

Are you a die-hard WWE fan who still believes sports entertainment is real and has real-world impact? Are you a My Hero Academia Fan who thinks 160 episodes just aren't enough? Well, I have the show for you!

It says Invincible fighting girl. The series revolves around a young girl named Andy who lives in a world where pro wrestling is as important to the global economy as heavy metal music Metallocalypse. In his heart, Invincible fighting girl is a paint-by-numbers shonen anime that isn't too different from those Naruto. From constant internal monologues to the way art director David Depasquale pans stills to set different shots to reduce production effort and costs and focus more on the task/characters at hand. For a poverty network like Adult Swim, these are the things producers need to do for the show to survive, especially one that looks as good as this one.

The voice acting is excellent so far. Sydney Mikayla is a real badass in the lead role of Andy, and it wouldn't surprise me if Sydney was an anime fan at heart, much like series creator Juston Gordon-Montgomery, as she has all the nuanced anime acting trappings, that you would expect from experienced vets like Kira Buckland and Bryce Papenbrook.

The action sequences are intense, but don't expect there to be a fight in every episode like you would expect one to be Ballmastrz So far, but I love the fact that the producers put together a match with the star of the series in the first episode, giving us a real blueprint for what to expect in the future. Don't you like it? Move on. This is a show for fans of pro wrestling, BY fans of pro wrestling. I'm not so sure that the typical politics of professional wrestling really came to light in these first two episodes, but I'm hoping that it does come to the fore later on, because that's a pretty big part of the wrestling mythos.

In terms of production values, the series looks far better than even the network's recent failure Uzumaki Debacle and I'm willing to bet it only took half as long to produce. The series is ordered for 20 episodes, but the first ten must perform well to justify producing the rest of the series. Consider me curious enough to let the network know to order the final ten series, because if I'm in charge of the overall strategy at Max Streaming, I would want a show like this to be inspired by AEW fans will soon be showing PLEs on the streamer, as well as some love from animation fans who can hopefully help the aforementioned wrestling company have 1000+ non-paying fans per event.
