ARSLAN SENKI SEASON 1 ANIME REVIEW


 

ARSLAN SENKI SEASON 1 ANIME REVIEW
-YOSHIKI TANAKA


OVERALL: 9/10

PLOT: 8/10

The story focuses on a young prince who has been somewhat driven out of his kingdom due to some incident in the past. This story mainly focuses on how will he manage to get the kingdom back and make the right choices to change the bad ways and rules that the previous generation has taken. I won't say that this story is a unique one because fighting over a crown is quite common in a monarchy and historical fiction, I think. What I'm interested the most is that origin of Prince Arslan which specifically not tackled in this season. I doubt that he is the son of Andragoras (the King) and his Queen. However, there might be something in the past which leads to him being the prince. I love this anime, mainly maybe because it is historical. The action on it is also good and how every character choose whomever they believe also affects the plot. It comes to the point where they needed to pick whether being on the right side even though it is doubtful. Or pick on the wrong side just because it is a must. I do love the strategy used by the characters, the way they overcome any incidents and the way human think on certain situations that doesn't benefit them. For me, the season 1 successfully hang the viewers leaving questions on their mind. There are so many questions which needed a clear answer which I know will be answered at the possibly next season. How I hope for that.

CHARACTER: 8/10

I love the characters. I love Daryun, Narsus and Gieve. Haha. 

Well, the strongest one, the intelligent and the handsome one are always the character who get an appreciation, isn't it? 

However, the protagonist which we can see in other anime series and stories is always the weak one. The helpless one. What I think in my character view is lacking is the softness of Arslan. He is too dense or too weak that he is always needing the help of his subordinates. Well, maybe I'm just expecting him to show something which is new since it is a common thing to be helpless in an adventure genre if you are the protagonist. But there are some scenes where I so love his character, the time where he get mad when one of his subordinate is in danger. I do want to watch some more of it.  I understand that he is young and a heavy burden was placed on his shoulder. However, I am still wanting more expression from him.

ENJOYMENT: 10/10

I enjoyed watching this series, really. I love historical anime. Much more, I am feeling the same kind of joy in watching it. It has the same aura as Akatsuki No Yona which is my favorite one. I was also awed at every fighting in this series. The movement is very detailed for me. As well as the expression of the characters who is fighting.  There's no certain word I can think of to express that I really love this anime, also. Swear!

ENDING: 9/10

Do you know the feeling when you're already too excited on what is happening on the series you are watching? Then as the episodes gone by, you realize that the ending is cliffhanger? All the question you have left unanswered. You want more but you can't always get what you want. Watching this anime feels like I've just read a prologue of a book or story. The story starts in the ending. Well, I still love this anime even if I have to wait for the next season. I just need to know where is Gieve. Just kidding.

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIE 4 LAST GAME SUMMARY

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIE 4 LAST GAME SUMMARY -TADATOSHI FUJIMAKI When you thought that the story ends after the Winter Cup Tournament, this movie turns out to be the final phase of the story. Well, basketball does not end in one's country. After winning the game, there is no doubt that another player, much more talented, much more better, will go your way. During the movie, American Basketball Team, famous in the field of Basketball visited Japan. A point where all of the members of the Generations of Miracles, along with Kuroko and Kagami, will have to fight them comes. It is a very interesting and exciting movie since it will be the first time showing how they play as a real team. How they realize that there are players who can match up on their level, who can take them head on, that will trigger them to do more than what they are doing. And to depend on their teammates because basketball is a five player game and not one. Well, Kuroko did made them realize that fact. What I find k...

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIES 1 2 3 SUMMARY

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIES 1 2 3 SUMMARY -TADATOSHI FUJIMAKI 1. Movie 1 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Kage to Hikari 2. Movie 2 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Namida no Saki e 3. Movie 3 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Tobira no Mukou Movie one, two, and three is a summarize version of Season one, two, and three. Though unlike the Season one series where it tackles first the plays Seirin made in order to participate in the Winter Cup and Season 2 moving on to the tournament itself, the Movies focuses on the Winter Cup alone and show only a bit of introduction from the Season one series. The movies consist of the highlights and the outplays Team Seirin did in order to defeat every team with a Generation of Miracles member. It is a waste not to watch them but I decided not to. Not because it will be a waste of time but I know that watching it will make my memory jumble. Since I've watched each episodes of all three seasons, I already know how the story goes. But apart from that fact, every bit of extras, no...
