Adolescent gang life is shown as violent and chaotic, especially for adolescents in everyday media. These students fight each other and commit crimes for "fun" and to be at "the top," all in the name of the gang's prestige and prestige. But, another part of gang life rarely displayed is relationships between gang members. They are worth it for their fists and fighting over communication and empathy. This perception is shown with Sakura, who came to Furin for the reason. Changing this perception assisted by people he meets in a way that could be more precise. Despite the unique interactions between compelling and resonated others.
Animation (9): Decent quality for anime's first season. The style looks good despite some CGI usage and blends in with the background. But it can look off, such as a confetti scene when one of the characters was proud of Sakura's fighting. On the topic, fights are skipped, with transitions that hold the anticipation of seeing the characters fight. The scene's designs look okay and stereotypical, making the scenes seem like they're from other animes. The fighting is minimal compared to other fighting shows. Fighting has none of the "flashy," such as magic, being super "overpowered," or characters acting in the clutch against their opponents. Just waiting to see who is next to the punch and holding in the acceptance of the next steps. This led to my being intrigued by the quality of the fighting. So, decent quality in fighting with uninterested scene designs.
Audio (4): Sound designs need better quality and repetition in various fight scenes. For example, in one episode, using a song for all the fighting before a flashback causes a friendship to break apart. While sounding different by using an instrumental mix or remixing in some way. Despite matching the right emotions in the scenes. The songs used over and over ruined the scene. Leading to being rated a lower-than-average score.
Characters (10.3): The characters are average at best. Sakura is a new member learning the way of Furin, with him finding the "strongest" at first. Later, he developed into developing "cool" or "lame" people, showing his character growth. They seem to have stereotypical personalities, but their relationships stand out. With each other in a relatable and realistic way. Such as, in the relationship between the rival gang Shistenton leader Choji and Vice, Jo shows how miscommunication with Choji being jealous of Hajime, leader of Furin. Who is often seen as the charismatic and laid-back leader that Choki was in the past? And aspire to beat him to have "fun," which Hajime has.
In Furin High School, a shy but super bright Deku-type character without any physical skills, a youth with an eyepatch who speaks eloquently, and the silent guy who considered himself a member before being in high school, there are few typical interactions. Still, they show much about themselves and a little about each other. Afterward, side characters disappear in later episodes for unknown reasons. This leads us to see that the other two to three members are given screen time, which causes confusion in the characters' story and overall leading, which provides the characters with an about-average score.
Story (10): Follow Sakura as he wants to head into Furin High while learning the rules and facing a rival gang to test his beliefs. Its plot is seen almost everywhere. So what makes it different? With some obvious plot holes, such as Sakura coming to Furin and getting the uniform before the other first-year students. In later two episodes most of the main characters disappeared in later episodes. Give time for the ones that were shown in earlier episodes. Which led to confusion in later episodes. They could have cut episode 11. Since it was just a filler of knowing the other two side characters that were not involved in fighting. This leads to being average in storytelling. With another season coming, hoping to explain the story and the KEEL gang more. Plus, the other side characters are shown in the earlier episodes.
Overall (3.3): The show is a decent watch for anyone who wants a good Shounen anime. With some hiccups on the show, it is a decent watch for people. Unless finding the story to be mediocre. The show season 2 is going to be a respectable season to watch.
Thanks for reading!
