Tougen Anki

Long ago, demon-like creatures known as Oni butchered humans and brought on destruction solely for their own delight. A lone man named Momotarou opposed these gruesome, near-invincible monsters, but the war against them was just beginning.

Thousands of years in the future, temperamental gun enthusiast Shiki Ichinose leads a carefree life. However, after his expulsion from school, everything changes. Shiki is suddenly attacked by a man and is rescued by his adoptive father, Tsuyoshi. As the two flee, Tsuyoshi reveals that Shiki is actually a descendant of the Oni, while both he and their pursuer are from the Momotarou lineage.

The two Momotarou soon clash in a fierce battle, and Tsuyoshi sacrifices himself to protect Shiki. Devastated, Shiki awakens to his Oni blood that grants him immense strength at the cost of going berserk. Although the enemy escapes, Naito Mudano, an Oni teacher at Rasetsu Academy, takes an interest in Shiki. Under Mudano's guidance, Shiki must learn to control the Oni blood—if he ever hopes to avenge his father.

✓ Acting (Voice Acting): Solid performances that brought intensity and emotion to the characters, especially during emotional and high-action scenes.

✓ Storyline: From the very first episode, Tougen Anki immediately grabbed my attention. The intense and bloody opening set the tone for the series, and the fight scenes were visually impressive. The animation and action felt powerful, making every battle impactful rather than just chaotic violence.

The characters are another strong point. While the pacing can feel a bit slow at times and there are a few frustrating personalities along the way, the cast remains engaging. My personal favorites are Mudano, Dr. Oiranzaka, and Yodogawa — they’re ... cool, powerful, and have a strong presence whenever they appear.

What I liked most is that the series doesn’t rely on action alone. As the story progresses, it focuses on character development and the emotional struggles behind the conflict. The narrative shows that the situation isn’t simply black and white, which adds depth and makes the journey more meaningful.

Overall, the series delivers a strong experience. It may not be for everyone, especially if you’re not a fan of brutal and graphic violence, but if you enjoy dark action with emotional weight, this anime is definitely worth watching. I’m looking forward to the next season and also plan to read the ongoing manga.

✓ Cinematography (Animation): Strong visual quality with fluid fight choreography, impactful effects, and a dark atmosphere that perfectly matches the tone of the story.

Mixed Feelings

I think there are loads of cliché themes, however I think the character and worldbuilding is very good. I think a lot of the other reviews point out it’s very action based which it is and they are disappointed with the character growth. I think they are wrong. I think the characters are developing very nicely. It’s clear their stories were thought out well before being designed. Just because this is a battle anime doesn’t mean it’s fast paced. In fact I like that it’s slower in this way. The character motivations are well thought out and of the characters we got to know in ... this season, the way they are makes sense. Their emotional maturity makes sense. The adults act like adults and the kids act as kids. They all went through highly traumatic experiences and clearly are all responding differently to their trauma.

This anime is so bad it motivated me to write a review. I have no idea how this anime got so popular but maybe because of the rise of AI generated content it made people feel like this was the best show at the time. Honest to god? It’s hot buns. If this was made during ww2 it probably would’ve been used as propaganda for the Germans. People watch a carbon copy of blue exorcist and fire force then get a hard boner and start defending it with their life.

Tldr: DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW. WALLAHI YOU WILL WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!
