SHISHA NO TEIKOKU ANIME REVIEW
(THE EMPIRE OF THE CORPSES ANIME REVIEW)
-RYOUTAROU MAKIHARA
(FEBRUARY 26 2019)


Overall: 6

Plot: 5/10

"This one looks great, I'm going to watch it." That's the first thing I uttered when I saw this movie. It looks interesting, and magnificent. It looks like a whole new idea that comes to life. But nah, not all expectations come true and it is really disappointing. I don't know if I'm just stupid not to understand what this movie is trying to say. Watching this movie, I can't count the number of times I hope that all the questions will be answered in the end. All the disturbing, confusing statements will be explained, but it left me hanging. Well, there is the fact that the story tackles an economy where the main source of manpower is zombies. Interesting, isn't it? The dead came back to life, it's moving but there's no soul in it. Now the protagonists of the story go to an adventure, finding a way on how the soul of a human go back to its body after dying. It's cool, the idea is kind of unique and at the same time, exciting. How the creator used different famous names on this movie is also something. However, the whole scenarios of the movie, in my opinion, will fail the expectation of the audience. It will left them speechless of how confusing it is. 

Characters: 6/10

I'm really feeling bad rating an anime low. I love anime but maybe, maybe there's really stories that won't fit my taste. Characters supposed to grow, to justify their actions, to learn, even if a little. The main character of this movie is cool. A doctor of the dead, someone who knows how to bring the dead people back to life. But how he focused on one dead person, who's relationship with him is unknown and never been explained, is unsatisfying. If I were to decide, maybe he's a gay lover of the main character. The other girl did have a purpose all along the movie, additional point on that. Lastly, the one guy who tagged and help him on his journey did not really have an explanation on his actions. Why was he helping him? What does he wanted? What was his goal? It was never explained and will never be. 

Sound and Animation: 10/10

In line with sound and animation, it's perfect. It's clean and great. The voices of the characters are strong, steady and fully grasp the characters they're portraying. The animation is one of the best. Adding the fact that it was filmed in the old era, where the backgrounds are something like historical places are fascinating. There's no doubt since its a newly created movie. Though it is kind of rude, this will save the entire movie. 

Enjoyment: 5/10

Do you experience watching a movie or series that you enjoyed yourself by thinking that what you're watching is enjoyable. Something like because you are expecting huge bomb in the end, all the answers to your questions, it excites you. But yeah, it dropped down real flat after watching the whole movie. What I think I've enjoyed on this series is the animation of it when it comes to action part and the way the sci-fi thingy was explained. 

Ending: 4/10

Most of the sci-fi stories success really depends on how it ends. How they manipulate the audience thinking and how they'll drop the explanation that will shocked them because of the unexpected outcome. That is what most great stories are. That's what I waited on the whole story. The fact that it failed on this aspect is really disappointing. Though the main characters successfully win against the bad people, what I care the most are the loopholes that need to be taken care of.

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...
