KENJA NO MAGO ANIME REVIEW
-TSUYOSHI YOSHIOKA
(APRIL 29 2020)
Plot:
Living an ordinary life in the modern time, the protagonist "Shin" got caught in an accident which ended his life. By getting reincarnated in a different world, with the memories of his past life, there's nothing he can do but to live a new life again. Having the ability stronger than others, the privileges he had having experienced ones around him, and childhood full of training, he will start his school life in a magic academy and started gaining friends he doesn't have from the day he was reborn.
Though he is too powerful in comparison from his friends or even military powers on their place, it will never be the case. It all equals out if their enemies are the same. The preparations or trainings they've made, as well as their plans makes it exciting to watch.
Characters:
I really love anime with this kind of genre and is not harem. It's gold, it's love. Shin falling inlove with one woman and confessing his feelings made him different from the rest. Sizilien, the woman he loves, though most of the time is dependent on him, shows her will eventually. She's girly and except for being cute, she's kind of annoying (or maybe on girl's perspective only), but her existence on his life is what makes him great. While Shin is skillful, experienced in fight and resourceful, his friends is the opposite of him and that's what makes the story going. What I also find interesting on this story is the character of the prince, Aug. Since most of the royal characters in an adventure story is imbecile, cruel and even an antagonist, it's rare to find such highness being fair and honest. His character is one of the most significant role on the series, not only because he is Shin's friend, but also, he plays a bigger role on the political side.
Sound and Animation:
I love the eyes and hair of the characters. The eyes of the characters are dazzling, while the hair is so cool, especially the character of the wise man and guru. They're on different level. Above all else, the action scenes are great, best example will be the fight between Shin and the military soldiers who harassed Sizilien. The animation of this series is really something but there are times when it occurs very bad. One example is the hands of Shin when he is handling the cuplike thing on the Prince's little sister. Apart from that, it really is great. The emotions written on their faces, in particular, when they're in rage or sad, reminded me of Bungo Stray Dogs. It was well expressed, and even if the emotion is too negative, it is still so beautiful to see.
Enjoyment:
Finished it in one night, that's how I enjoyed it. I love adventure and action genres and it will be lovely if I will find another anime with the same genre, but not Harem. It's nice to see character who's overpowered but still uses his brain, not only for himself but to help others grow, at the same time he does.
Ending:
That girl is really good. The way the anime ended with enemies they can't defeat is a good cliffhanger. That means adventure, that means leveling up or more strategies. It's good that there are enemies that can be a threat to them. Maybe there's more to them? Maybe one of them came from the same world as Shin? We'll see in the next chapters. In manga, that is.
