Nội dung sơ lược của anime Angolmois Genkou Kassenki

Vào thế kỷ XIII, sức mạnh quân sự của đế quốc Mông Cổ đã bành trướng khắp các quốc gia phương Tây lẫn phương Đông. “Mông Cổ – đó chính là nơi vị vua sẽ huỷ diệt thế giới (Angolmois) xuất hiện!” ― Nostradamus. Nửa sau thế kỷ XIII, nanh vuốt của quân Mông Cổ đã hướng đến đảo quốc Nhật Bản.

Cụ thể, vào năm 1274, nhà Nguyên phái 3 vạn quân liên minh với Cao Ly cùng 900 chiến thuyền vượt biển sang xâm lược Nhật Bản, dân gian gọi là “Genkou” (Nguyên Khấu – Cuộc xâm lược của nhà Nguyên). Cuộc xâm lược bắt đầu tại đảo Tsushima với những cuộc thảm sát dã man và hủy diệt khủng khiếp. Đây là câu chuyện về những samurai cùng những con người bất khuất trên đảo chống lại ách xâm lược của quân Nguyên Mông. Nhân vật chính trong anime là Jinzaburo Kuchii – tên tôi phạm bị lưu đày tới Tsushima và ở đó anh sẽ phải chiến đấu đối mặt với cuộc ngoại xâm của quân Mông Cổ đầy hung hãn cùng với thanh kiếm của mình. 

Vì sao cuộc chiến này làm chấn động toàn Nhật Bản thời Trung Cổ và kết cuộc sẽ ra sao, câu trả lời sẽ có trong 12 tập phim anime Angolmois Genkou Kassenki.

Toàn cảnh cuộc chiến tranh vệ quốc đầy máu và nước mắt của Nhật Bản thời kỳ Trung Cổ

Review dàn nhân vật chính trong anime Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki

Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki khởi đầu bởi dàn nhân vật hùng hậu gồm Jinzaburou, Abiru, Amushi, Antokutei, Douen, Hitari, Gontarou, Kano, Bangyeong, Kudun, Fuheng, … Hầu hết các nhân vật này được xây dựng tạo cảm giác rất điên rồ, tuy nhiên, tất cả đều có những đặc điểm và kỹ năng độc đáo.

Nhân vật chính trong Angolmois là Jinzaburou một trong những người lưu vong và trở thành trục xoay cho các nhân vật khác làm cơ sở cho hành động của họ

Những bài học lịch sử thông qua anime Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki

Cuộc xâm lược của Mông Cổ vào Nhật Bản được xem là tiền thân của chiến tranh thời kỳ đầu hiện đại. Bởi trong cuộc chiến này đã sử dụng những phát minh công nghệ đáng chú ý là bom nổ ném bằng tay.

Thông qua cuộc chiến này, nhiều người trên toàn thế giới ngày ấy công nhận rằng người Nhật dũng cảm và hung bạo, cũng như tiến hành xâm lược Nhật Bản là vô ích.

Chúng ta còn thấy rằng, chính thế liên hoàn không hẹn mà gặp giữa các nước bị tấn công trong khu vực đã làm tham vọng đế quốc Nguyên Mông bị xẹp lại.

Những lý do nhất định phải xem anime Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki

Thay vì tường thuật, Angolmois trực tiếp đưa người xem theo chân một nhóm người Nhật lưu vong đang được gửi đến đảo Tsushima với mục đích duy nhất là chống lại những người Mông Cổ đang đến. Điều này khiến cho toàn câu chuyện trở nên hấp dẫn, bởi thay vì tường thuật một nội dung lịch sử đã có kết thúc quá rõ ràng, anime tập trung đưa sự căng thẳng của câu chuyện xoay quanh sự sống chết của nhóm du kích nhỏ bé trước lực lượng hùng mạnh Mông Cổ.

Những bài học lịch sử được thể hiện với một phong cách mới lạ. Câu chuyện lịch sử được xây dựng hoàn chỉnh và chân thật với những nhân vật thật, những con người với tâm tư, tình cảm và khát vọng độc nhất, những sự kiện không đơn thuần chỉ gắn với những con số mà là những khoảnh khắc huy hoàng của vô số con người.

Với Angolmois nghệ thuật là một chút bất thường, vì vậy bạn sẽ thấy mọi thứ trong phần hình ảnh của anime có một kết cấu rất kỳ lạ. Nó giống như việc kết hợp giữa bộ phim samurai cổ điển với kỹ thuật hoạt hình hiện đại. Vì vậy, màu sắc bị tắt một chút và toàn bộ loạt phim trông hơi lệch về mặt trực quan. 

Hoạt cảnh anime rất sống động thể hiện đúng tinh thần quyết liệt trong các trận chiến của samurai

Thể loại anime chiến tranh lịch sử luôn là một bộ phim thú vị vì khi đi sâu vào quá khứ, người xem sẽ có nhiều góc nhìn đa chiều hơn. Hơn nữa, hầu hết thể loại này đều đẫm máu và điều đó càng làm cho anime trở nên chân thực hơn. Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki được lấy cảm hứng từ cuộc xâm lược Nhật Bản của người Mông Cổ. Nếu bạn yêu thích các bộ phim lịch sử, samurai Nhật Bản thì đừng bỏ qua bộ anime này nhé.

Channy Watches Anime Sometimes And You Should Too: Summer 2018 Edition

With the ending of spring, summer obviously comes in its wake, as well as the ever pressing need for it to just be fucking fall already! But aside from heat, bugs, and disappointing family vacations, summer also brings a whole new onslaught of anime. As usual, I have some specific as fuck tastes, and not all the time in the world to watch every single show airing this season, but I decide to compile a list of the ones that I plan on watching. 

This list is a little different this time around since I’ve decided to give some different anime a chance, so this time I’ll be putting these shows in a list from what I’m most likely to finish all the way through to least likely. Here we go! 

Banana Fish

Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer. A runaway brought up as the adopted heir and sex toy of "Papa" Dino Golzine, Ash, now at the rebellious age of seventeen, forsakes the kingdom held out by the devil who raised him. But the hideous secret that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into Papa's insatiably ambitious hands—and it's exactly the wrong time for Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to make Ash Lynx's acquaintance...

This anime is awesome so far! The animation is fluid, the writing is amazing, and the story sucks you in from episode one. I feel like this one is going to hurt a lot, but I’m so looking forward to following along each week with every new episode. 

Hataraku Saibo

This is a story about you. A tale about the inside of your body... According to a new study, the human body consists of approximately 37 trillion cells. These cells are hard at work every day within a world that is your body. From the oxygen-carrying red blood cells to the bacteria-fighting white blood cells, get to know the unsung heroes and the drama that unfolds inside of you! It's the oddly relatable and interesting story that is the life of cells! 

I present to you, Osmosis Jones: The Anime! Except, not really. This slice of life comedy follows the cells inside of a human body, and all of the triumphs and tribulations they have to go through with each passing day, whether that be fighting off germs, or even dealing with a small scrap. This one is pretty funny so far, and I definitely love the dynamic that’s been set up with one of the white and red blood cells. 

Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro

This is a story of a nerdy bookworm girl on her way to school, and yes, that's the entire premise, as she's not getting to school any time soon. Taking her "usual" route to school, it becomes an increasingly unusual adventure, and all the more ridiculous as it carries on. It takes an unpleasant sentiment many can empathize with, the feeling of tardiness, and brings humor to it—making it a hilarious situation to look back upon.

This season is filled to the brim with bizarre comedies it seems, which suits my tastes just fine, since aside from romance, comedy is one of my favorite genres. There’s not much plot to speak of, but each episode follows the lead, Chio, as she makes her way to school everyday. The premise is simple, silly, and great for a laugh. 

Asobi Asobase 

Hanako, an athletically proficient, yet thick-headed student with a weird fashion sense, plays a game with the American transfer student Olivia. However, their vigor irritated their classmate Kasuki who dislikes playing games since she has always been teased by her sister for being bad at them. With a turn of events, it was found out that Hanako is terrible at English. Thus, she asked her foreign classmate Olivia to help her, but Olivia, who is only born and raised in Japan with foreign parents, can't actually speak English at all! Watch over these three girls' surreal school-life comedy.

Another bizarre comedy! This one also doesn’t have much plot to speak of, and follows these three girls through school and the different situations they find themselves in. The faces that are drawn on these girls at times are hysterical, and it’s also been just a great show to sit down and simply laugh with. 

Hanebado!

Ayano Hanesaki, a first-year student at Kanagawa Prefectural Kitakomachi High School, has a badminton ability able to surpass others effortlessly yet avoids playing the sport. She meets Nagisa Aragaki, a third-year student who practices day and night aiming to become the best player in Japan. Encouraged by coach Tachibana Kentarou, supported by club colleagues, and fired up by various rivals, the two engage in their youth and adored sport so thrilling like a shuttle flown at high speed!

I don’t delve much into the world of ‘sports anime’, but after I saw the animation on this one, I just had to give it a chance. This one can be a bit melodramatic at times, and I’m sure it’s just some dumb misunderstanding that’s causing all of this drama in the first place, but so far i’m enjoying watching some really well animated badminton. 

Harukana Receive 

The story takes place in Okinawa, where Haruka forms a beach volleyball pair with Kanata. Kanata, who couldn't handle the pressure put on her by her short height, had given up on beach volleyball already but is convinced by Haruka to step back on the sand once again and aim for the junior tournament. 

My second shot at a sports anime! This one is all about cute girls and beach volleyball, though of course it isn’t without it’s melodrama as well, though this one seems to be handled a little better at least. The animation is cute, and it really has a fun, summer feel to it. 

Tenrou: Sirius the Jaeger

The series takes place in the Imperial Capital of 1930. A group of people known as "Jaegers" landed on Tokyo Station. They carry musical instrument cases and came to hunt vampires. A man named Yuliy stood among them with a striking serenity and unusual aura. Known as a werewolf who had his home village destroyed by vampires, he and the Jaegers engage in battle against the mysterious holy arc known as the "The Arc of Sirius". What truth awaits them?

This one is pretty good so far. It’s action packed, and has awesome animation, as well as a decent plot it seems. It’s so far down on the list because I’m only two episodes in, and my fear is that the story is going to end up disappointing me, or become boring. 

Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki

The scary great king comes from the other side of the sea… The big incident ‘Genkou‘ that shook medieval Japan is being drawn in an original way in this historical anime, along with the beginning of the Samurai…!

A samurai historical about the Mongol invasion of Japan. Lots of action, and decently animated so far, but might not continue with it if it starts to really bore me. I’m also secretly hoping for some romance between the two characters featured on the poster.....

Grand Blue

Among the seaside town of Izu's ocean waves and rays of shining sun, Iori Kitahara is just beginning his freshman year at Izu University. As he moves into his uncle's scuba diving shop, Grand Blue, he eagerly anticipates his dream college life, filled with beautiful girls and good friends.

But things don't exactly go according to plan. Upon entering the shop, he encounters a group of rowdy, naked upperclassmen, who immediately coerce him into participating in their alcoholic activities. Though unwilling at first, Iori quickly gives in and becomes the heart and soul of the party. Unfortunately, this earns him the scorn of his cousin, Chisa Kotegawa, who walks in at precisely the wrong time. Undeterred, Iori still vows to realize his ideal college life, but will things go according to plan this time, or will his situation take yet another dive?

Yet another comedy! I think this one is aimed at a younger generation of boys though, but so far facial animations are funny, and it’s been good for a laugh with one immature gag after the other. I may not stick with it, but I’ll give a few more episodes just to see if it’s worth my time. 

Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes

Based on mystery novels written by Mochizuki Mai.There is an antique shop in Kyoto's Teramachi Sanjou shopping district. High school girl Mashiro Aoi unexpectedly runs into Yagashira Kiyotaka, the son of the shop's owner, and ends up working part-time at the shop. Kiyotaka is called the "Holmes at Teramachi Sanjou," and he and Aoi solve odd cases brought to them by various clients.

This one probably should have been a little higher on the list, but considering I forgot about it until just now, maybe it doesn’t.... I decided to check this one out purely based on my love for Sherlock Holmes. The animation in this one is just okay, and the cases, while only two episodes in so far, are so predictable that it’s almost laughable. I’ll probably stick with this one since it’s easy enough to get through, and while it’s more of a slice of life, I am sort of hoping for a romance between Aoi and Holmes. 

Aguu: Tensai Ningyou

The series is about a missing genius whose mysterious disappearance becomes a shady secret among the successful members of society.

Last one on the list, and only one episode for this one so far. It has some pretty odd animation, so much so that it nearly through me off. I suppose it speaks well of the story that I stuck around despite that. I know the plot synopsis above is pretty short, but it’s hard to explain what this wild show is about, and it’s better if you just check out this weirdness for yourself.

Planet With 6 - 8 | Cells at Work! 6 - 8 | Phantom in the Twilight 6 - 8 | BnHA 57 - 58 | Angolmois 6 - 7

Planet With 6

“Are you a monster?” - Who’s the real monster in this show, though?

A Clog Punch is even more hilarious than a standard Giga Cat Hammer, haha.

The bad guy died! What the heck’s going to happen from here???

Cells at Work! 6

Smol RBC-senpai is so cute! Not as much as smol RBC herself, but…yeah. I wonder if smol WBC is around as well…?

This story’s a lil’ hackneyed, but nothing that doesn’t twang the heartstrings a little…

I love how the sensei WBC still has blood on his arm as he walks away.

The banter between the NK and the Killer T cells really gets to me. It’s so good!

Angolmois 6

Dang, I liked Yajirou. Now he’s dead…

Where did Teruhi get the cloth for Yajirou’s (I presume) head…?

I find it interesting how he (Onitakemaru) dragged the old man merchant with him and yet went to the extent of plundering the treasure without the intent of keeping it. It’s like he did the plundering as a show of strength…

I’ve realised that even though Planet With’s been getting better and better, this show’s starting to sink. Sure, the staff on this show are giving me everything I asked for, but the shine of a new anime is starting to wear off…That montage just proved why it sunk – it’s more willing to go for a quality drop in the middle of the plot.

It was way too dark in the scene that revealed Teruhi’s face being up against Kuchii’s. It took me a bit to realise that was happening…

The water in that river looks a bit odd.

“Akimado firefly” gets me zero relevant Google results.

Now that I think of it, Nagamine’s kinda hot, LOL.

Come to think of it, I still haven’t got a bead on whether Teruhi has the hots for Kuchii or not. If it’s the former, then this show would be quite disappointing. Plus, are these invaders all Mongols from China, Mongols from Mongolia (duh) or Mongols from Europe? They did have gunpowder, which is from China, but they also said the Mongolians had invaded Europe at this point…

Phantom in the Twilight 6

*sees ep 7 title* - “Awakening of the Century”? Not on my watch, no. Probably not.

Why are they only progressing the plot now? Not that I didn’t like the Roland story, but…c’mon, if your friend is in danger, you shouldn’t derail from that. Right?

Notably, the group is called “midnight sun” (katakana), but the episode is called mayonaka no taiyou (kanji/hiragana).

Karandi mentioned how she loved how faithful this show was to the past folklore of supernatural creatures and now they’re using that to the show’s advantage…huh.

Oh, hey. Next episode preview gave spoilers…that’s just like a next-ep preview, actually.

BnHA 57

Noticeably, Yoarashi is pretty obvious with his giant whirlwind…

Haha, Deku is quoting All Might verbatim from the video!

Welp, there wasn’t much to say this episode…

Cells at Work! 7

This cancer cell looks like Ken Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul)…interesting choice.

They decided to deviate from the serious plot for the platelets. I give it 10 out of 10!...Nah, just kidding.

*Killer T helps NK get up* - I can see why Negative Primes ships NK and Killer T Cells together now…

I forgot what the cryptic-speaking green-covered cell (not a dendrite, but the other guy) was called…I think he might’ve been a B cell, but that’s all I remember. Sorry.

I can’t believe I’m feeling sympathetic for a cancer cell…

Planet With 7

I like how even Ginko still has secrets up her sleeve right now.

Hmm…it seems the hypnosis didn’t work because Nozo-san is wearing glasses.

Benika and Yousuke seem to have been hypnotised, this isn’t like them!!!

Phantom in the Twilight 7

I find it interesting Vlad chose to use Chinse martial arts. Either Toryu taught him, he learnt how to do them from Rijan or he learnt from Chinese people over many, many years. I think the second option is the most probable.

Why can’t the underlings see Kabocha-kun (Kabocha-kun = the jack o’ lantern)?

Toryu does the Naruto run. He’s not even a ninja!

The OS kind of looks like Windows, but with the taskbar being a colour of a Mac…plus the top bar of a Mac.

The green lines of text that appear on the screen are just gibberish, by the way. They’re not code…

*Chris punches Luke to get him out of the way of the falling debris* - I laughed a lot harder than I should have at that…because that shows they’re concerned for each other…in a very roundabout sort of way.

Oh no, Kabocha-kun!

What?! Van Helsing’s hair wiggles of its own accord! It’s basically alive!

Eyy! Extra info! That’s what I watch these after-episode segments for!

“You’re giving away the second half of the season!” – Hmm…

*after the next-ep segment is completely over* - Hmm…so Ton has her hair change colour and lose her memories. The Price of Power = The Price of Loss. Hmm indeed.

Angolmois 7

Ho-Holy mackerel! My knowledge of Touken Ranbu swords is coming in handy! Imanotsurugi is the lil’ grey-haired shota (tantou) who dresses like a tengu. That means this Kurou man is more simply known as Minamoto no Yoshitsune!

Seriously, this emperor looks like an alien! An alien, I tell you!

At first I didn’t recognise the guys with the facial marking were Toibarai, but then I saw Nagamine and I was like, “Oh. Okay then.” Come to think of it, these Mongolians look like the Earth guys from Avatar…

I find it interesting the Toibarai – or at the very least, Nagamine – are literate. You’d think in a time like 1274 there’d be a lot more illiteracy…or maybe I’m just thinking about Western civilisation…

“The abalones are a tougher opponent.” – I like these ladies already. Not only because that’s such a funny line, but because tough lady fisherwomen with tans is probably more representation than an entire genre of ecchi anime can do for women.

Apparently a porgy is a type of fish…hmm. It sounds silly.

Come to think of it, Jinzaburou was right once bfore when everyone else stood against him and that was when he got thrown out of Sou Sukekuni’s meeting…which doesn’t spell good things for Kanatanoki, y’know.

Cells at Work! 8

Man, I had to memorise the circulation path years ago! Too bad I don’t remember how it goes anymore…

I like how the blood cell mascot is actually shaped like an RBC.

I only just noticed, but female RBCs in this show have booty shorts and male ones have pants. Why can’t it ever be the other way around…?

Hmm…the tricuspid valve is shown as a torii gate. Interesting choice.

*platelets try to put up posters while talking to WBC* - Excellent usage of platelets. 10/10!

I was wondering what the cell’s seal said…close inspection reveals it just says “cell” on it. I guess I should’ve figured that out without having to zoom in on the image, eh?

“…you spineless candy-ass!” – That’s a hilarious insult! Who the heck thought of it and what’s the Japanese equivalent of it???

BnHA 58

A special…? This is almost as bad as a recap episode if it’s all recycled…

…uh, wow. That All Might was more meta than I was expecting.

Oh, I get it now. Movie promo episode. So that’s what this is.  

For some reason, I find Toshinori going “Dave” hilarious. I don’t know how to explain it. Maybe it’s because he looks American.

“Save the World With Love!” brings to mind Boueibu, y’know? Good times…

*All Might comes in through the back door, flexing* - Muscle muscle, hustle hustle!

Oh my gosh, they went Detective Conan on us!

Suicide out of grief for what he’d (All Might had) done, maybe?

Oh yeah. Midoriya overlooked why the three potential culprits were separated and left  in different parts of the store. Update: Nope, right thinking, wrong lead.

Planet With 8

Notably, 10 = to in some cases, hence Torai being 10.

Souya’s gone all Shinji Ikari on us! Not that I mind, but…Shinji is a polarising character for a reason, y’know!

Why does this story, with a potential final confrontation on the moon, remind me of Busou Renkin so much?

Phantom in the Twilight 8

“Why Shinyao specifically?” is the question I’m asking here. Why did Shinyao need to be kidnapped?

Has Ton even gone to school yet? Or rather, is it summer break in London and we were never told that?

“She entered forbidden territory.” – Says a worker at Café Forbidden!

I’ve never heard “stole a march on me” before…apparently it means “to gain an advantage over someone else”.

He uses a cat pickup line! He’s a werewolf! That’s…hilarious!

I’m still wondering if Shinyao has Stockholm syndrome to any degree…

The line about the abyss is Niestche (sp???). I’ve seen it quoted enough times to know.

Did they ever mention the fact Ton’s hair went back to normal? Or was all that hair-tossing meant to imply it was back to normal without saying anything? You’re trying so hard, show, but you’re not quite hitting the mark…

Summer 2018 Thoughts

With the Summer 2018 season now behind us, the staff at Beneath the Tangles has taken a look back at the season and I asked them the following questions: What was the biggest surprise of the Summer 2018 season? What was your favorite series?

The team’s answers are below the fold:

MDMRN

What was the biggest surprise of the season for you?

No, that’s not a Titan’s mouth – that’s Hanesaki from HANEBADO! That is one of my biggest surprises of the season. HANEBADO! started off feeling like it was going to be a team sport anime like Haikyuu but with a female cast. It most certainly is not. It’s not bad, in fact I’m rather enjoying the series, however it is not a fun, lighthearted tale about teamwork and sports. No, it’s more about what teenage stress when being pushed to the extreme in sports can do to a person’s mentality. Add in an absent Mother who thinks abandonment is what was best for her daughter and you’re rounding the bend of a fascinating series with well written, emotionally broken characters that take their sport seriously. I have a lot of thoughts on the ending that I included on my personal site in my full review of the series, but for this piece let’s just say, the show was a sports anime that took the female athletes seriously as athletes instead of as eye candy and, frankly, that doesn’t happen very often. I know, that feels like a low bar, but still. 

HANEBADO! can be legally streamed at Crunchyroll

What was your favorite series of the Summer 2018 season?

Every season I think a full length anime is going to catch my attention more than shorts. And sometimes it does, but man – anime shorts are where I live and breathe. Working Buddies! 2! was absolutely my favorite of the season. I looked forward to every single episode of these two college buddies making end meet at various odd jobs. The friendship that blossomed between them was brilliantly written and clever. The different jobs were fun to watch and just a treat every week. It wasn’t stressful, it didn’t make me think too hard, it was just a relaxing anime about two cat buddies. What’s wrong with that? 

Working Buddies! 2! (and season 1) can be streamed legally at Crunchyroll.

NegativePrimes

What was the biggest surprise of the season for you?

Probably Angolmois, the historical fiction piece about the Mongol invasion of a tiny Japanese island. I’m not saying it was the best or my favorite of the season, but it certainly beat my expectations by a mile. What starts as a period/action setting turns into a surprisingly deep reflection on perseverance and hope in the face of hopelessness. This became especially poignant going into the last episode, appropriately called “The Best You Can Do”. Because sometimes our best isn’t good enough, and failure is guaranteed; and yet there’s a reason to go on.

Angolmois: Record of Mongol Invasion can be streamed legally on Crunchyroll.

What was your favorite series of the Summer 2018 season?

That’s a tough question. Unlike the previous season, which had several clear stand-outs like Hinatmatsuri, there wasn’t for me any series that stood out in every category. Yet there were two shows that did something that struck me as relatively new: Cells at Work, which gave the genre “slice of life” a far more literal twist than ever before; and Planet With, a take on the mecha genre (not my favorite genre at all) that manages to be deeper than Neon Genesis Evangelion without being nearly as dark and deconstructive. And despite the clear creativity and quality that went into Cells at Work, making it probably the better series of the two by most benchmarks, I’m going with Planet With as the show that most consistently provided me enjoyment and food for thought. And honestly, that’s a surprise to me right now, because I had no clue which series I was going to choose when I started writing this paragraph.

You can legally enjoy the Planet With acid trip on Crunchyroll.

TWWK

What was the biggest surprise of the season for you?

Attack on Titan wasn’t great, but it was far better than I thought it would be. Once the manga started featuring less, well, titans, I felt it started going off the tracks. Caught up in wild conspiracies and advancing the mythology of the world rather than investing in a cavalcade of characters and reveling in violence and the grotesque was a bad move, and that’s exactly where season three picks up. Yet, the direction centered on the backstories of Historia and Erwin, the growth of Eren and Historia, and the tale of Levi and Kenny, amid politics and mystery, and it mostly worked. The series made it through its most grinding bit, so I’m hopeful for the series from here on out.

Attack on Titan can be streamed via Crunchyroll.

What was your favorite series of the Summer 2018 season?

Boku no Hero Academia was the show I most enjoyed this season, and I’m not happy about that. I hate picking a shounen series as my fav. Is it for some sense of “otaku elitism”? Maybe, though I wouldn’t even consider my habit in any way strong enough to provide me the label of otaku! I think it more has to do with a lack of quality in series this season. I spent more time rewatching shows from the past—Serial Experiments Lain, Toradora, Chihayafuru, Shirobako, and Working! than new series this season. No matter how good BNHA is—and it is really, really good—I’d rather it be my third or fourth favorite, as it has been in seasons past, than my first. Still, I guess I’d be really depressed if I had to choose Steins;gate 0, with its noticeable dip this spring, for my favorite of the season (Note: I’ve only caught about half of Cells at Work!, which might otherwise have been my selection).

Boku no Hero Academia can be streamed via Crunchyroll.

Summer Anime 2018 First Impressions

It’s time for yet another round. Most of what I'll be watching from this season consists of stuff that’s new/I’ve never heard of, and while not everything on my list was 100% enticing at the start, there’s a lot to offer.

Notes:

This is being published late because different shows are starting at all different times this season, so I will be doing a “late” list for shows that are airing later in the season, rather than stuff I started late.

As usual, I won’t be doing impressions for anything continuing from last season. This consists of: Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi, Black Clover, Boku no Hero Academia Season 3

Added Chio’s School Road to the list

Hanebado - What can I say except for the fact that the production was OFF THE CHARTS?? The art in general was good, but it also had some incredibly well-crafted shots and the OP was something I could not stop marveling at. I feel like it could have done a better job at introducing us to the main characters right away, since I feel far from acquainted from them and often forgot their names, but I know we’re going to find out and it still feels like each one serves a purpose. I seldom watch any sports anime, but so far this one seems like a winner. It’s not too over the top and flashy, but it gets the job done by just being intense. I felt like the sweat was too much before realizing I’d rather have that than anime ASMR. For now, I don’t have much to say, I’m just sitting here waiting for the conclusion to the next epic match.

Angolmois - This show doesn’t seem to have much that I’m personally interested, but then again, Youjo Senki was a war anime and I ended up really liking it. What got me interested in the show were the characters, which I can’t say so much about this early in the series. I’m positive that all of them will have a time to shine at one point. At least I’ll learn a little bit about history through this show. So far, a lot of unfamiliar names were thrown at me, which was overwhelming, but in turn got me to do some research. I’m only sitting here wishing that this show will be entertaining, and that the rest of the animation was done in brushstrokes like in the OP.

Banana Fish - I’d never thought I’d see the day where Ayumu Murase voices a black kid who can fight and has the best damn animation out of everyone in the casual scenes. Okay now that I got that obscure thought out of the way, let’s move on the the actual content. I was scared of this show going in, considering how I felt when I read the synopsis and came across Ash’s *cough* job description, but so far it’s not a toooootally in-your-face kind of show. It did a good job of luring me in- a few plot elements to start, a good-looking art style, and then blew me away with a fight scene at the end. It was pretty impressive!  I’m also curious to see what sort of commentary this show could present, as well as a foreign perspective on violence in America, both from Eiji’s and the producers’ perspectives. Keep it up!

Chio’s School Road - Wow, I sure am glad I decided to check this one out. It was very funny and inventive with its antics. I will admit, for a first episode, it was tamer than what I perceived it as from the OP, but I'm having fun with it already. I also absolutely LOVE Chio’s voice, and she’s a rather standout character in my opinion. I just hope they don’t try to make her too much of a ““relatable”” character, since self-depreciation and social awkwardness are things I refrain from laughing at.

Angels of Death - A pretty neat first episode. The thing that stood out to me the most was Rachel’s narration/talking with herself. It’s very reminiscent of how the main character of an RPG (which Rachel is) who often narrates their experiences as they “check” their surroundings and voice their inner thoughts. I found the use of sound to be especially unique, and the ED sounded very interesting. I haven’t played the original game, but I can already infer that there’s gonna be plenty of references that og fans will enjoy. Lastly, I’m assuming the show’s characters will be mostly fodder, since the villain from this episode was rather a throwaway, but will be more about the escape room concept and the journey itself.

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight - Ummm what an interesting turn of events that was!! I like the idea of an anime about the performing arts very much, because I used to be involved in them a lot myself. The last few minutes of the first episode were excellent and well-made, filled with both action and aesthetic, but the subs were practically distracting me from them both, so I might need to go back and experience it again. The voice acting was likable in my opinion, and I was very happy to discover that the music director also worked on Houseki and Yorimoi!! I feel like this could be something truly exciting.

Hataraku Saibou - I’m a sucker for personified analogies (something I’m sure many of you are aware of), which is why I decided to start watching this show. Even though this series’ analogy is more “human”-looking than how I would have designed it, the whole concept of cells and organs as a giant city is well-constructed, down to our main character who must have literally been born yesterday. The use of CG can be a liiiittle jarring at times, but when done right it works just fine. I don’t have much to say right now because the first episode really only scratches the surface of what we’ll be seeing, but BOY am I excited for what comes next.

High Score Girl - A rather impressive and funny first episode in my opinion! I don't know why I doubted it when it turned out to be rather decent. It was just enough to get to know our two main characters for instance. Like others who were looking forward to this show, I'm glad that they're integrating real video games into the story instead of creating cheap knockoffs. And while the animation isn't the best I've ever seen, it sure kept me hooked with the crazy facial expressions, overacting, and occasionally stretching the models, though some more movement would be nice. It's nothing revolutionary for CG anime, but it gives me hope.

See you guys again soon with the continuing and late impressions later this month!
