![]() What a ride of a season and what a freaking disappointing and thrilling ending!ĭamn, this was some finish! Studio Pierrot just killed it with the visuals, I still can't believe how sky-high the standard of quality we got throughout this show but in particular this episode. Thursday night's will never be the same for me again. But overall it's a good anime for those who love cyberpunk and sci-fi vibes. In the end I did enjoy the whole series to the end, I waited every single episodes every week just to finish the season and yes bit disappointed in the ending because the best mom of the season sacrifices herself for the better good of the kids. His right side of his bikes ray gun is destroyed and yet another bold move for courier to use his right metal arm to be the barrel of the laser beam to destroy the ship. And that was the first time I see his bike got destroyed to bits. Courier sacrifices himself to let the kids escape. Letting the whole city know that the executioners are the real bad guys. It was a very bold move for swindler to be honest. And when they saw the video where swindler got killed, it started a revolution. The part where swindler accepted herself being a S rank Akudama, it was very cool and sacrifices herself to let the people see what executioners do to the ordinary civilians when they are caught up to the fight. Just like the others said the first half is pretty cool but when last few episodes comes the story and the characters are starting to fall. □ The cuts are SO fast in this OP.*Sigh* It didn't turn out to the ending I wanted to be and this whole episode is rushed in my opinion. ![]() □ Most of the GIFs I included here are also slowed down. I’ve no outro for this one… Akudama Drive and STEAL!! get a 7.5/10 from me, it’s a cool little OP. Or the credit next to Hacker appearing a little glitchy… Nice touches. 1.5/2. □♂️Ĭategory 5, Bias: Miscellaneous things about the opening… ? I like when the robots dance to the singer, or other small reactive things, like at the start of the OP, when the singer goes “RA!” and a credit? appears over the title logo for like 2 seconds. I haven’t reallyyyy watched any other cyberpunk shows, so now I’ll go over tropes quickly… The Akudamas and Executioners being shown off, then getting group shots ? That one’s kind of whatever… We also go through Cutthroat’s head/eye, and –of course– there’s the sequence of the seven Akudamas looking off and being moved very quickly (with the lights). Also, I think the simple lyrics go with the show… 2/2.Ĭategory 3, Relevancy: It’s kinda… A lot ? The cat turning into the kids, episode titles given in the OP based on movies, then things from the movies happening, visuals of the Akudamas’ wanted posters, Swindler/Courier’s ‘500 yen coin that changed everything’, the Executioners and Boss getting an appearance, the inverted shot of the kids, the kids going into the light, Swindler turning over her hand so it reads “sagi-shi ”, and, in the OP’s second version, Swindler’s change in appearance being reflected, Pupil’s kanji becoming clear, the shots in the Akudamas’ heads becoming clear… 2/2, basically described the whole OP.Ĭategory 4, Originality: I’m reminded of Psycho-Pass’ second OP, but just for also being colourful, and the overall show plots, kinda. Basically, I’m just saying, this anime is either really popular, or the song is just that recognizable to non-watchers. The English probably helps with remembering the song, but 10/10 I get this song on Anime Music Quiz anyway. ½.Ĭategory 2, Song: STEAL!! by SPARK!!SOUND!!SHOW!!, their debut anime OP song. I’m also not a DR mega-fan, so idk if the OP has a DR under-current, but nonetheless, the animation/overall artstyle is also standard/above average. ![]() I love the colours, the colour-highlighting they do in several parts, like the beginning, the kanji over the Executioners, or at the end, which are all the GIFs I put in this review. Opening theme STEAL!! by SPARK!!SOUND!!SHOW!! is fun, and the visuals colourful, but do they work ? I’ll try to be vague in Category 3: Relevancy, but you might want to just skip it if you haven’t finished Akudama Drive… Or not.Ĭategory 1, Artstyle/Animation: The OP looks great, but the actual video might be a littleeee boring if I separate the song and video ? It’s still really good, but I don’t caaare about the wanted posters segments, ‘the low points of the OP’, lol. ![]() Original story from Danganronpa creator, Kazutaka Kosaka, Studio Pierrot, and Too Kyo Games, Akudama Drive was a recent-ish –Summer 2020– seasonal anime, that I actually watched week-by-week :0 (!!). The first real Friday review…! I felt kind of stuck, at first, on what OP to bring, but I knew I wanted something short and simple, with just 12 eps and 1 OP–Īkudama Drive. ![]()
