Before you ask, yes, I too watched it after seeing that one scene from the trailer. (ʘᴗʘ✿)
This show is pure madness. No logic, no explanations, if it looks crazy & awesome, it will do it. I tried to find any patterns between the different elements in this world, but I failed miserably.
So, it's set in post-apocalyptic Japan, where a "rust" wind is causing a disease that slowly corrodes everything, including people. The story is a quest for a mushroom called "Rust Eater" (Sabikui) that has the power to cure this rust disease. Our main dude's job is to find that mushroom and make the medicine to cure the disease while the government is chasing him to death.
There are no limits to what might appear in this show, huge crab that can run faster than most military vehicles - yes, arrows that can shoot exploding mushrooms- yes,
Even with a world so crazy like that, it managed to keep me interested in it until the end. The story kinda went down-hill in the last few episodes. But the first few episodes are the best this show has to offer.
It doesn't have a super complicated, highly detailed plot, it's just two guys fighting together to protect their people. The fight scenes are one of the strongest points of this show along with the soundtrack that fits perfectly with the weird stuff happening on screen.
The story was very interesting even after the first few episodes, the world building was nicely progressing until the last 3 episodes. It had fun moments, awesome action scenes that are pure adrenaline madness.
But, let's talk about the end. I had really high expectations for this show after seeing the first few episodes, but I have to say, it didn't quite meet them. It just felt like it created an immediate threat
Solid story with great potential, a bit flawed execution. I wish there's a second season where all these flaws could be corrected and make something truly memorable.
