Synopsis

"Negotiation means, you turn words into weapons"

This is the realization of the popular comic Yu-go that was published in Kondasha Afternoon Magazine over a period of 10 years.

Beppu Yuugo is the world's most successfull negotiator. His only weapons are "words." Yuugo doesn't kill people. Neither does he threaten them with brute violence. With rich knowledge and a calm judgement, he believes in the humans inside them. Doing only that he has managed many dangerous negotiations successfully until now. Now two of the many episodes have been chosen very carefully, one taking place in Russia, the other one in Pakistan. In the burning desert and the freezing Siberia Yuugo begins his negotiations.

This anime is a paradigm of the adage that "old is gold".Indeed, the pervasive prevalence of insipid, clichéd anime, devoid of narrative substance, has become a source of profound exasperation.The present author, an ardent aficionado of "Seinen" anime, encountered this particular anime due to the fact that the protagonist's haircut, reminiscent of Leon S. Kennedy's in the "Resident Evil" series, resonated with the present author's personal predilection. The anime in question stands as a remarkable exemplar of its genre. The programme encapsulates the quintessential elements of a successful negotiation, namely meticulous preparation for unfavourable outcomes, the cultivation of superior networks, the forging of new alliances, ...

This is surprisingly really good. I only write a review because I'm super surprised that nobody is talking about it. Considering just how good it is, I would at least think there'd be a community online for it but nah. Whoever wrote this has a really good understanding of cultures from around the world. The story follows Yugo as he tries to negotiate throughout the world, and he;s a fine MC, but what really makes this show great is the world it builds. It truly feels like Yugo is actually in Pakistan or Russia and is on a quest to do his job, and everyone ...

It's an okay watch but nothing more than that. Writers expect us to think this dude to be top negotiator, but he does as much negotiating as James Bond does gardening. But he is a badass. We are told that constantly and he will even prepare gadgets and gear for some dangerous action but the moment you start thinking about it you realize he did all of that so you can see ho badass he is. No other reason.

I'd love to say characters are great, but in reality we are introduced some characters which do absolutely nothing than appear in one or two episodes and ...
