DARWIN'S GAME ANIME REVIEW


DARWIN'S GAME ANIME REVIEW
-SHU MIYAMA


Plot: 

Living a peaceful life, the protagonist "Kaname" was dragged into the game by one of his friends. At first sight, this series will make you wonder if you're going to watch another version of Mirai Nikki, a cell phone game application which will make people fight each other to death. Though unlike the said anime, this series have created a foundation and an acceptable explanation to back up what's currently happening. In exchange for a big amount of money, risking one's life will make the case possible. Not only did this anime widen the plot by adding events to the games, and not only focuses on match battles, it also creates a reason for characters to do what they do. It shows how people can change, be it because of the power they achieve, or the circumstances they've gone through. Though it is still unknown how the application runs and how it made the impossible possible, it will most likely be explained at the later episodes. 

Characters: 

If given a hurtful experience, change will be inevitable. Kaname is your typical kind boy who doesn't have any shred of malice in his eyes. But unlike most of the main characters who fight and escape death by just frantically swinging anything or by depending on someone or the author made them too OP, if you know what I mean, he has that hidden potential that comes up if needed. He has that reflex and sharp mind to think things through, he has plans and instinct that are needed to survive. The way he changed through the circumstances he gone through is such a gem. Other characters are also interesting and I really love that intelligent girl. But the series mainly focused on the development of Kaname's character. 

Sound and Animation: 

In a genre like this, animation is a critical one. How the action scenes will be exciting and not a boring one, how the expressions match up the scenarios they're in. It must all be presented well. The fights are damn good. Every movement of the character and the strategy used is lit. It was not forced and limited. Adding up the cruelty of the other characters makes it more interesting. Shuka's action scenes are what I love the most. However, the voice of Shuka really is creepy. I think normal girl's voice will be better. Well, that's for me. Great action animations are hard to find nowadays. Glad to find one. 

Enjoyment: 

The first episode made me anxious whether I'll continue watching it or not. I'm not in the mood for a survival game genre with no other concept at all. I'm grateful this series is different. I love the action scenes, yes. But what really made me going is the strategy they'll show, the actions taken by them to move forward, and how they use their brain to get ahead of their enemies. 

Ending: 

The ending is just the beginning? That's what anime most of the times are. It's like introducing characters, or polishing characters before fighting seriously. They are ready for battle, the pieces are complete, preparations is on the way. The ending fight is great and unexpected for me. I did predict him changing but not that kind of change. That makes the story more interesting, I guess.

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...
