do you prefer the more lean towards comedy/slice of life rather than drama in sevens/go rush?

i think this is comparing apples and oranges.

sevens leaned into its characters heavily, and as a result, even though it wasnt as plot heavy, the comedy made the show work. we had a lot of beginning episodes dedicated to building characters. it was fun, it was goofy, it was surreal. the characters were great to see on screen because they had a lot of chemistry and they knew how to balance it

go rush, on the other hand, has not really leaned into its characters as much. the show basically hit the ground running in arc 1 in terms of plot, which set up different expectations for it than sevens. one prominent example i can point to is yuuhi. none of the gags with him feel funny to me, he really hasnt been built much (or at all), and i can only view him as a gag character.

in sevens, if there were comedy episodes between, or an arc lagged in the middle, i could at least still enjoy the show for character interactions. romin and luke had that whole part of arc 2 where they were just back and forth about romin "betraying" them

in go rush, i find myself not looking for character interaction as much, but developments in the plot. because that's what the show has conditioned. because it hit the ground running from arc 1. the whole thing with goha yuuna and sevens road magician was a huge highlight bc it was the first instance of actual plot stuff we got in a long while

if go rush takes some more time and episodes to properly give characters highlights (that arent yuudias or yuamu, because imo they are the only well-established main characters in the show), then i think it could start to actually lean back into the comedy to great success. right now, the comedy just isn't hitting the same, but the plot sure is
