Sounan desu ka?

I always wondered what would happen if you end on an island with Rambo's daughter after an accident (airplane crash, a sinking ship, etc)? However, Homare isn't Rambo's daughter but she received similar training from her father. The plot of the series is easy, following a group of girls that ended in a desolated island and watching their adventures to survive and how Homare an expert in those situations is helping them.

On the paper, the idea was interesting. Once I watched the first episode, I figured the series is very average. Most of the jokes are silly, boring, dull, and in some cases ... grotesque. Although survivability can be fun under certain circumstances, this show is becoming a lame combination between Lost and Gilligan's Island where the silly events tend to be boring and without a plausible argument.

Finally, the length of each episode is only half from the average. However, do not hope too much from this kind of series or you will end very disappointed. Also, It won't surprise me if at the end we watch something like "Wilson, Wilson!!" correction "Homare Homare!!"

·Story: 3/10

I know this is a 10min anime, but I have seen a thousand times this type of plot.

There is nothing new to see from that type of series (where the mc gets lost on an island) apart from the fact that in this case all the mcs are females.

·Art: 6/10

Art in general is decent, and obviously gets better in the fan-service scenes, which is something common in 10min animes.

... ·Sound: 5/10

Sound effects are mediocre. From what I've seen so far there are only the typical tropical effects, like the sound of insects and waves?

For me they sound like if they were taken from a pre-made online website.

·Character: 3/10

From the four mcs there is only one that surprised me a little bit, which is Homare.

She is the only one that has something different from the mythical female mcs which is her survival instinct.

The rest of the mcs are common and don't have nothing new to see.

·Enjoyment: 3/10

As I said, in my case I have already seen this type of genre many times, so this anime didn't surprised me at all.

I am not really enjoying it a lot for that reason, which is that this show is nothing different from what you have probably seen before.

·Overall: 3/10

In general the anime for me is bad so far and I would only recommend it if you have nothing else to do or see. (Having in fact that is a 10min anime)

Thanks for reading :D

Finally this uninformative, unfunny, stupid ass trashfeista is over. God-damn my aversion to dropping series unless they're super long and intolerable. This was just short and intolerable.

This anime features wholly unsafe survival advice. From drinking urine, which is unviable due to the waste products within it causing a number of adverse health effects that heavily outweigh any hydration benefits, to drinking blood, which will cause iron poisoning in most humans if done more than very occasionally and more importantly expose your digestive tract to any number of pathogens.

The very small amount of remotely sound advice offered is offered with as little practical information as possible, ... I.E. the instructions for the construction of a snare trap being extremely vague and being entirely unusable in most scenarios.

Unless you are a lonely, horny-ass motherfucker just looking to nut to softcore pornography rather than harder stuff, this series is entirely worthless.

Sounan Desu ka? takes the very unoriginal general concept of "what if you got stranded on a deserted island?" and applies it to anime, where it's actually something original (if there's more survival anime that came out before this, let me know and I'll eat my hat). However, as original of a concept as it may be, it still falls short as an anime.

The story is the only decent category, followed by the music. It's not something every anime does, and I have to give it some credit for that. It's a concept that's been done worse, but it's also been done far better. Adding ... school girls to the mix will only get you so far.

The art is lackluster and even bad at some points. Maybe I've been spoiled by KyoAni and other big-budget studios, but a lot of animation feels lifeless, robotic, and choppy. Character designs are about as bland as unflavored gelatin and the background scenery isn't anything to write home about.

As I said previously, the music is alright. It's more memorable than most anime, but not anything I'd go out of my way to listen to outside the anime.

The characters are stupid and fall victim to almost every stereotype in anime. There was a moment about six episodes in where it felt like one character was about to have some character development, and then there was nothing to follow through afterwards. There's really not much to see here besides "girls are the cutest when they're almost retarded".

Overall, Sounan Desu ka? was just barely on the border between being bad enough to drop, and decent enough to keep watching. The first couple of episodes really made me want to drop it, but I decided to keep watching and was not really rewarded for my time. The first one or two episodes are a very good indicator as to if you'll like the rest of this.

*****MINOR SPOILERS, THE STORY IS NONEXISTENT ANYWAYS, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'D REALLY CARE ABOUT SPOILERS*****

There really is no ending. Two girls spit bird poop water into each other's asses and then there's a ten second very ambiguous clip that solves nothing and gives no solid ending. You are not missing anything by dropping this show if you do not enjoy it at any point.

If i were to compared this of "Naked and Afraid" , this was the worst survival theme show, I'd ever watch and if Bear Gyrills and Hazen Audel be watching this, I'm pretty sure they'll be giving this fucking original creator Okamoto, Kentarou an earful of bashing.

So.

Story

Pros: The plot was simply based on one of Bear Gyrill's realty show "The Island" where , a group of participant were to moored themselves in an island where they're to survive on their own.

Cons: It has more to do with one girl who has to use her wits in order to survived and the fact that she ... has to deal with other girls whom were just a bunch of whining kids with a prima donna attitude, also the survival tips were a combination of half correct and half wrong.

Verdict 3/10


Art

Pros: A lotta fanservices.......

Cons: No uncensored nipple flashes.

Verdict 8/10

Sound

Pros: Nothing to mentioned.

Cons: Homare's voice was too monotone, Shion sounded like a nervous wreak, Asuka sounded like kid a very immature kid, so far only Mutsu sounded like a matured woman.

Verdict 3/10


Character

Pros: Well, we have Homare, whom was the one who carry's the burden of helping them girl get through, while Asuka was more like a kid with some yuri tendency , Shion who still acts like a pampered girl despite the fact that she was in a deserted island and Mutsu who has the brains, but not the kind useful in a survival situation.

Cons: Homare should have just gone by herself and let those girls suffer from their lack of survival skills.

Verdict 2/10

Enjoyment

Pros: One was more likely to enjoy them eye candies, cu'z this was what this anime all about.

Cons: Given this anime predictability, one can simply afford to skip an episode or two and just get to the first and last 3 episode.

Verdict 6/10


Overall

Verdict 2/10

It's just all about them girl's fan- service, everything else were misleading like the anime's title and the survival tips...well, if one were to find him or herself in the same situation as these girls, then don't even use what ever survival tips that you see in here, cu'z it'll more likely fuck you up much more that the situation that you're in. Also, if one can get a job of being a camera man in one of those "Naked and Afraid" reality show, then grab it cu'z it'll be the only job where you can see a woman in her birthday suit uncensored, than to watch something like this shit.
