As for Mazinger Z?
Yeah I had similar feelings on the original Mazinger manga saga really. Tbh that's probably the main reason why I wasn't nearly as harsh on the Infinity movie as you either, since I was expecting something closer to the manga in terms of writing quality and not uh, something better.

I've been watching Back Arrow too and have had similar feelings. Though even with the main plot going like nowhere, I could forgive that if the show was like at all interesting on an episode to episode basis whether in character or theme or even if just the fights were cool. But the fights suck, the characters are bland (And honestly it feels like there are too many), and thematically there's like nothing interesting going on.

Like it kind of reminds me of that really bad middle portion of Xabungle but somehow worse (And that show at least started strong and sort of picked back up eventually). I had hopes for Back Arrow considering the names involved but this is an astoundingly nothing show.

I started the series a week or two ago and chugged all the way up to relatively early in Alternative, so I'm gonna have to finish it soon before I hear/see something from further in than I am.
I still can't believe they're just starting with Alternative.

Like even ignoring how that's easily the worst of the trilogy, its such a bad decision.

I saw someone online suggest the anime will be a Higurashi Gou style followup to Alternative and if that ends up being true I'm going to laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.

I think its just modernizing designs for trends of newer/younger audiences. Something like Kasumi's ribbon or Ciel's huge glasses might have appealed to moe feelings of audiences of 90's/early 2000's anime and related mediums, but well its not the 90's anymore and what grabs people isn't the same.

Like Ciel's huge glasses might seem offputtingly old-fashioned to people coming to Tsukihime Remake from FGO or whatever.

Too much of the Muv in the world today, not enough of the Luv IMHO.

I would watch Nadesico: The Return tbh.

Like maybe the show could be about some corporate villain reviving Gekiganger 3 as a cynical nostalgiabait cashgrab (Which would Idk maybe spark an intergalactic war or something) and now Akito "THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS" Tenkawa must return from the shadows for the sake of justice.

So did anyone else keep up with Back Arrow enough to see the ending? Because oh boy let me tell you it sure was dumb.
