Spriggan

A series that plays it safe, hits and more hits.

Adaptation of the manga by Hiroshi Takashige and drawn by Ryoji Minagawa that had a very good one previously as was the 1998 movie.

The truth is that I liked it quite a bit. It is an anime in a somewhat strange format because there are 6 self-contained episodes of approximately 45 minutes.

Except in chapter 5 where the animation noticeably falters, the truth is that it stands out in that area. Far above conventional anime. Fantastic fights with a very catchy soundtrack that goes along with it.

As for the plot, nothing out of the ordinary, companies from countries fighting for relics of an ancient civilization and doing whatever it takes for them.

Very visual, gore at times, it does not skimp on blood and violence which adds to it instead of subtracting.

The season ends very openly and there are no announcements about a second one.

Therefore it is recommended but that's all, let's hope for news.

Really enjoyed this. Good animation, excellent voice acting, and plenty of action. A fun mix of characters and a concept that has a lot of potential to explore many myths and legends. Looking forward to seeing where it goes next.

Easily one of the best anime's Netflix has put out, you can definitely tell this was a well funded project. A large majority of Netflix's anime series lose my interest with a couple of episodes, but this kept me captivated throughout the series. The action scenes are amazing and the amount of gore brought me back to 80's anime vibes. If you are a fan any shonen jump, this is definitely on par with them. I really hope Netflix continues this series because they put out so many forgettable series just for content and this is actually one that they put the effort and funds into. Honestly it's probably my favorite on Netflix.

Never heard of the original manga or the movie, I saw this is in my spotlight so I decided to check it out and It's actually pretty good. It's a little predictable at times and sometimes I wish the characters weren't giving speeches every 10 mins, but the plot is interesting, animation is good, voice acting is amazing and I like the soundtrack. Also, It's deals with a lot of themes and philosophies in each episode, which I think is one of the more interesting parts of the series.

You should check it out.

The original Spriggan (1989) is my favourite anime. This new remake is a good series although it deviates from the film slightly.

The series has removed the seriousness of the original film. The main character is now happy and very confident compared to reserved and tormented.

Episode two is a retelling of the original film.

They included a heap of cliché anime tropes that did not exist in the original film such as:

• The loud, angry anime girl
• Calling out kicks and punches like a Pokemon ability
• Having characters explain plot instead of showing the audience

Pros:

• Some great moments faithful to the original film
• Great action scenes with violence and mature themes
• Way better than 90% of Netflix anime shows

Cons:

• A few episodes are terrible
• Poor dialogue writing
• Weird 3d models for monsters shot in a completely different frame rate as the series.
