Waza no Tabibito

It's what I imagine a PS2 (possibly even PS1) extended gaming trailer to look like, the "gameplay not included" note and all. In some ways, it's quite charming, these retro looking CGI character models alongside some pretty refined looking background art, it does trigger that sense of nostalgia in me, of a time much simpler.

A one man project, Syun Matsuena adapting his own work here, so I am a little lenient on the score. The creator of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, an incredibly fun battle ecchi/comedy, Waza no Tabibito is the dollar store version in comparison. Syun definitely knows how to make thicc characters, I'll ... give him that.

We have a girl called Techni who is traveling on a journey, in order to train and master her abilities, abilities that of a Wazabito, a person who has strengthened their own will to try and reach new potentials. I won't go into too many other details, this short movie is only 30 minutes long.

What really surprised me was hearing Rie Kugimiya voicing the main heroine, did not expect to see her in such a relatively unknown project. I am partial to her work, so there's extra points here XD

I can't really recommend this anime, unless you enjoy those PS2 graphics, or want to see some big booty fanservice.
