To me. Akumetsu is everything Death Note should have been (in terms of Death Note's story). I hope I haven't angered anyone by saying that. I consider Akumetsu's story-telling to be wonderful.
The entire philosophy of "What is good? What is evil?" is something that alot of series integrate into their plot.
And so Akumetsu might seem to follow that, it takes a contemporary approach. Featuring science-fiction as opposed to magic.
Story: The details keeps you intrigued. They can be essentially divided into three parts that are all developed as the story progresses.

2. The people trying to understand Akumetsu and/or stop

PLEASE NOTE: I rate all tens because I really don't want to fiddle around with numbers.
Story: Shigurui is a story with amazing presentation. The story is both linear and not-linear at the same time. The story is of two men and their respective paths toward each other.

This is a show I really enjoyed when it was airing... But I later realized It I didn't retain those feelings.
First of all the story is really fun to get into. The setting is a land resembling feudal Japan. So it provokes a cool cultural feeling when it's watched. The character are good, some are cute others are just cool. But it's a shame the show doesn't focus on them heavilly (but apparently the original game does). So yeah the character focus is a bit off and thats sad. The fighting is alright. But nothing special. It's not fast (with some exceptions) but it's well coordinated. ... |
