Golden Kamuy

My wife and I truly love this anime. Each episode is culturally enriching. There is plenty of action, gore, destruction and pure romanticism. The writers did not shy away from thoughtful and some times surprising content and dialogue.

I'm heard that one of the reason why Golden Kamuy got slept on by many people is because the CGI bear scare them off right from the first episode of season 1 and I refuse to believe it. Sure the CGI bear and fire look incredibly jarring to watch but once the gold hunt started I don't think you will care about the animation aspect anymore cause everything after that is a god damn feast of blood, weirdness and comedy. The story of Golden Kamuy is the most original thing I ever see from an anime in a long time when it fill with rich lesson about the culture of the Ainu people and the Russo-Jap war both I never heard about and the way the anime told it through the eyes of the main character Sugimoto the Immortal while he following Asirpa around to learn how to survive in nature is comedy gold. Not a single character in this anime feel boring or undeveloped even through some we only see them once in a while but the moment they re-appear you knows you will got something new out of them.

Great story great characters animation Scott throwbacks is just hilarious when it needs to be it's in my top 10

I started watching this anime with very low expectations, but it truly became one of my favourites. Totally recommended. You will have no idea how the story will continue, everything can happen xD I also love the lore of the native people of Hokkaido, a great way to learn a little about their culture ^^

This anime has amazingly interesting characters from aged samurai to disinterested snipers - an entertaining group of characters that mix action, friendship, comedy and random survival tips into an amusing and energetic adventure that just makes you feel good.
