WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Yesterday I binge watched Japan Sinks 2020 and from the first episode I was very drawn in to watch more, this is very good with animes because sometimes I feel like I get confused, bored or lose hope when they have a bad start but I was very drawn in to watch more. Following a family in Japan we meet a series of different and interesting people. My personal favourite characters are Go (due to him being a hardcore gamer, plus he was very cute when he spoke english), Haruo (he was very shy at the start but when he got out his shell due to the loss of his mother his true personality came out and he didn't deserve what happened to him at all) and finally Kite (there is no words, he is hot and awesome that it). Ok so here are the spoilers, let's talk about the death of Koichiro...how come only Ayumu seemed physically and mentally hurt after they all witnessed their father kaboom!?! Go was MORE sad when Gramps died, a man who shot Go with an arrow and who he didn't know for long. Yes people handle grief differently but COME ON THEY LIKE FORGOT ABOUT HIM!!!! The overall look of the anime was beautiful, they had very nice backgrounds and you can tell what they spent most their money on during production, 100% spent the most on the natural disasters, since the people seemed choppy and effortless at times which kind of affected the quality of the anime. I feel like this anime could've been better if they didn't do a death after a death, I feel like they killed off characters too quickly before you could really gain a connection with any of the characters. If deaths were more spread I would've been more upset over the deaths rather than laughing at most of them oops. Overall, I did enjoy watching Japan Sinks 2020 but personally I didn't think it was very good, as it was 10 episodes I feel like the natural disasters were put in each episode continuously which caused it to get boring real quickly, if they had more episodes I feel like the anime could've been more interesting and intense when things went bad. Also some deaths didn't seem as serious as they should've been, come on I can't be the ONLY one who laughed at the kid being crushed by a rock...hehe I am going to hell...I just wish there was more to this anime than just death after death after death, I like the whole natural disaster concept as it makes you think about how small we actually are and how anything could happen and just destroy us. It is an emotional rollercoaster, i just wish they would've spent more time and money on more episodes so things didn't get repetitive.
Thank you for reading my kinda review, was more like a rant tbh oops..
