Tatakau Shisho - The Book of Bantorra

I was drawn into this series from the very first episode. It's dark, it's gritty, and its emotional. I really enjoy how the show has short but interesting arcs. The first arc dealt with the "laughing witch" and that alone just pulled me in. Spoilers aside, it was a very engaging, emotional arc for me. I actually cared about the characters involved!

I really love the art style and I think though the pacing may be a bit off sometimes, there are very interesting hints dropped by here and there that are always tied in as you progress. I really love that.

This series isn't a comedy and it isn't an action. It's a little bit more suspenseful with spotlights distributed among the main cast between each arc. I hope to see more character development in the episodes to come!

Reminds me a lot of deathnote in the way the show is handled and progressing. :) read more
