Hyperactive anime character behaviors/sounds usually reduce the joy I get from the rest of what I'm watching.
While I heard Studio Ghibli films aren't "real anime," their works are the most anime-like thing I love.

It has layers. The gimmick robot arms wouldn't actually do anything. If anything they would only make you weaker and increase your risk of back injury. They could only take the weight from your arms and put it directly onto your spine. They have no purpose couldn't do anything as a safety or utility product. So of couse some dumb company goes all in with marketing and esports. They would work like brass knuckles so punches would cut, but that is it. It would be like ancient roman boxing. So it is more like fencing than boxing. Fighters generally being poorly socially adjusted would of course blow that all up, even if it is supposed to be a "fighting entertainment" type sport.
I just like crisp drawings and japanese rap, but i'll take your word for it.
It would be fascinating to know how much of it is intentional. I am sure some ammount of it has to be given the gearless gimmick. But a fair ammount of it could be accounted for just with classic tropes. I will never have the language skills to know. But the art is crispy as hell and the music slaps.
I looked up an interview with one of the writers and there was this, "during the production I looked back on Ken Loach's works and Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing"
