by 2021 was also a year when many original animations that swept the world existed, and the attention was once again raised. What kind of works were listed in the original spirits released at the end of 2021? I want to follow along with the points of interest of the results.
Takt op.Destiny
“Takt op.Destiny” drawn by Oji Hiroi, who is known for the “Mashin Hero Wataru” series and the “Sakura Wars” series. MAPPA produces the animation from “Jujutsu Kaisen” and MADHOUSE from the movie “Summer Wars.”
This work depicts the battle of girls who have the power of music in New York in 2047, a world where music has been lost. I couldn’t help but catch the eye of the splendid battle scenes released in the teaser movie. Yoshihiro Ike, who won the 35th Japan Academy Award for Outstanding Music for “The Detective is in the BAR,” is in charge of the music of this work based on a theme.
The main character of this work is Koki Uchiyama, who is also known for “Jujutsu Kaisen”‘s Komamaki Thorn and “Sarazanmai”‘ s Kuji Yu. I want to expect his performance to be both cool and cute.
Pirate Princess
This work, “Pirate Princess,” is an adventure story drawn by Production I.G, an animation production company known for the “Ghost in the Shell STAND ALONE COMPLEX” series. The director is Kazuto Nakazawa, who also teamed up with Production I.G in the Netflix original animation “B: The Beginning.” Yuki Kajiura is in charge of the music.
Set in the Pacific Ocean in the 18th century, the main character is Fena, a courageous girl. And it is the members of the Sanada clan’s cutting-edge troops who can use her for generations to share her journey with her. Can they get rid of the difficulties they face and reach their destination, Eden?
What kind of adventures will the unique characters show us? It is also worth noting the light exchanges of the characters that can be seen from the teaser movie.
Rumble Garanndoll Girl
Lerche’s new animation “Rumble Garanndoll Girl” is sent to the character draft with Akio Watanabe, who is known for the “Bakemonogatari” series and “The World God Only Knows.” Attention will be focused on what kind of new work Lerche will deliver, which attracted attention in “Astra Lost in Space.”
Japan is a parallel world where subcultures such as manga, anime, and idols are dying. This work depicts the activities of the so-called “Battery Girls” who belong to the secret society “Arahabaki” that fights to protect the subculture.
The video expression that makes you feel nostalgic from the teaser movie is also unique. The three girls who decorate the critical visuals of this work are played by Fairouz Ai, Aina Suzuki, and Shiori Izawa. I would also like to pay attention to the performances of three people with different personalities.
Boundary fighter
The new animation “Kyokai Senki” was sent by Nobuyoshi Habara, the “Fafner in the Azure” series director. In the mechanic design, Kanetake Ebikawa, who was in charge of the mechanic design in the “Gundam Build Fighters” series, and others were listed, and the release of the plastic model was announced even before the animation started broadcasting, and it became a hot topic.
Shortly, 2061, this work depicts boys fighting to restore Japan, which was divided and ruled by multiple countries. The hot robot action using “AMAIM” by the divide and rule army and the main characters will be the story’s heart.
While talking about a profound theme, the narrative is light at the beginning of the first episode, which was released in advance. Also, pay attention to the dialogue between Gen Sato, who plays the main character Amou Shiiba, and Natsumi Fujiwara, who plays the role of AI Guy, who supports him.
One of the charms of the original animation is that the color of the creator is strongly reflected. The actual energies that will be released this fall are also lined up with works that have different solid colors one by one. I would like you to appreciate it and enjoy it.
