I completely agree. I'm watching Hibiki myself at the moment, and I'm surprised just how much I'm enjoying it despite the lack of... Well. Actual STORY going on. The sense of "ongoing battle" like you mentioned is what leaves me asking little questions as the story progresses. You're looking at it all from a similar perspective to Asumu, thus they try and make his character most relatable. I tend to actually like the juxtaposition of his everyday boring life spliced in to scenes of Hibiki and the gang blowing up giant lobsters with the power of music as if it were an everyday routine.

I think it's the suit designs that keep me invested. As far as I'm concerned they all look amazing.
