Human Bug Daigaku: The Animation Is Unique, And Good In Other Ways
One of the anime that I think is a hidden gem for Fall 2022. Yups, I actually watched this anime without any expectations. I was interested in watching it because of its unique title, "Human Bug Daigaku". "Human Bug? Hmm, what's that supposed to mean?" Because that's what triggered me to watch this anime.
At the beginning of watching, I was immediately presented with a slightly different animation. "Hmm, maybe it's more suitable if the title is Animation Bug Daigaku, right? However, okay, I'll keep watching."
In the end, I also guessed why this anime is called Human Bug. Yup, because the main character of this anime, Satake Hirofumi, is a human who can be considered as having a bug.
"How did it happen?"
Satake I call human bugs because he is not like humans in general. He experienced many events that threatened his life, but miraculously he was always able to survive these events. Satake is a very lucky person who can always survive dangerous events. Even because of this, he was nicknamed the immortal human.
In episode one, we are presented with Satake who will be executed by hanging because he is suspected of committing a murder. However, as I stated before, Satake Hirofumi managed to survive and live from the death sentence.
The following episodes are also quite exciting and tense because we will see the adventures of Satake trying to survive various things.
I think the comedy in this anime is also quite fitting. Not too overdone, but also not bad. The point is it can make us entertained.
Tomokazu Sugita, who voices Satake Hirofumi, has also done his job well. He can convey the figure of Satake who is only an ordinary human and really suits Satake's character even though with that kind of animation. Likewise with other characters such as the Professor, Chie Negishi, and others.
The theme song is pretty banger too. I think the opening brought by nano suits this anime. The ending theme song is no less catchy. The lyrics, which are just "Bug Human Bug, Bug Human, Bug Human Bug", I think are quite eargasm in the ear.
Btw, one of the things that I really like as well as an added value from this anime is that in each episode there is definitely a short random trivia that we will get. So, besides getting entertainment, we will also get additional insight from this anime. The problem is, it's rare for anime to have trivia like this, let alone those that are explained directly.
I am quite satisfied with the ending, even though this anime uses an open ending. Overall, I highly recommend this anime for those of you who can be comfortable watching anime whose animation is somewhat different from anime in general.
