Synopsis

The era is a turbulent Warring States period in Hinomoto. Kinokuni, the unexplored region of the mountains and the sea. In the depths of this deep forest, there is a group using "Yatagarasu" as their flag symbol and using guns as weapons. Their name is "Saikashu". It is "Magoichi" who arrived from a foreign country that inherited the name as the head of Saikashu. On the other hand, "Saburo" quickly senses the signs of aggression from the European powers and struggles to protect Hinomoto.

The fate of the two who would not meet originally will be crossed by the fight against the invaders who came from a foreign country ─!

Rusted Armors is an enigma. Nobody really cared for or bothered to watch it. I thought Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department would be the only real series I enjoyed this season, but I was wrong. As the next CGI series carrying the torch after Ex-Arm and Tesla Note, I wanted to see what it had to offer since Tesla Note was hilarious 10/10 so bad it's good content. This series has the same soul as it. It's a series that fought against it's awful CGI with everything else it had and won. It's clear the staff put a lot of love into this ... series when you really think about it in the end. It's backed by a great soundtrack, a loveable cast of characters that get deeply explored, Good voice acting, great humor and character dynamics, family themed emotional storytelling, and nice segments at the end of each episode where two of the main voice actors get to explore food and settings that inspired the series among other things. I'm sure they had a lot of fun since this is something unique this series tried to do. The character development is strong and not a single main character gets left out. Tragically, it's the clearly bad CGI animation that made it all fall apart so many times. I know this is going be historically hated, and that those that enjoyed it will be laughed it. Still, there's a charm to Rusted Armors, it's story, and it's characters.

The mistakes are there. Awful CGI crows, sound effects to nothing, horrifying looking background characters, backgrounds that look like something out of MS Paint, bad and grainy rendering, characters that look like lifeless puppets, overexaggerated sound effects, laughable voice acting from the generic copy and paste enemies, the usual still frame and slideshow disasters that can get almost as bad as those in Requiem of the Rose King, laughably bad 2D animation between the CGI, and silly errors like showing a guy who is sitting on the floor, but they still play the sound of him grunting and sitting down. There were many times early on that the series kept falling apart and sinking further. How could Rusted Armors redeem itself?

The writing in this is strong in that every characters is clearly shown their personal issues, their struggle to overcome, and their resolve as they try to stay mentally strong. The bond between the cast feels sincere like that of an actual family that really grew on me. This is mostly the story of two brothers, and the Rusted Armors: weapons that often look like gun swords that were used to cause power struggles in different countries. The main antagonist is comically evil, and even he gets some nice development by the end. I couldn't help but laugh at him hilariously dancing to classical music among the dead bodies around him after a battle.

Magoichi at first felt like a joke of a protagonist. As the series development, it turned out there was a lot more to him than I thought, and his somewhat naïve and foolish optimism became respectable to me. There's a tragedy to the core of Rusted Armor's story: He grew up teaching his brother to become powerful. This is something that would go to his brother's head, as Lucio would go on to use it to kill nations. Magoichi would later suffer from memory loss, and try to undo what he caused while slowly remembering that he wasn't always the typical hero main character he was revealed to be in the beginning. His teacher Oda is voiced by Toshiki Masuda who also voiced Yamato from Megaton-kyuu Musashi. As a result, I already knew to expect a wonderful performance. Magoichi's best friend Deku is a silly character, that as annoying and foolish as he is, is still a loveable brute.

One of the ideas explored is the purpose and meaning of power. One character might see power only as a means to conquer and kill; that those without are to be preyed upon. As satisfying as this view is to Lucio, it's hollow and covering up for his insecurities. Poetically, It is his abuse and obsession with power that becomes his downfall. Another idea explored is finding a purpose. As I mentioned earlier, the viewers will come to understand what exactly each main character is really about, and their purposes that they realize in life.

As the ED played one last time with Magoichi aimlessly flailing his Rusted Armor around in the purple void to Fantastics from Exile Tribe's nice and melancholy ending sequence song, and as the voice acting cast said goodbye in the after segment, this series did bring a tear to my eye. Maybe I am the only that saw something in this that the few others who watched it and hated it didn't, and maybe I am not the best at explaining this, but this series really connected with me and I didn't want it to end.

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Every season, I come searching for that one anime and no it is not aot nor is it demon slayer, I look for refined animes such as this one. Coming from gibate and ex-arm, I had already set such a high bar when It comes to anime and oh did this one manage to surpass it all. While watching, I was having a constant migraine as It was really stressful going through many turn of events and it made me feel very intense and excited to see what comes after. One of the main things which makes this show revolutionary is its animation as the ...

I'll be very honest, I've watched this anime for the sake of hearing Masuda Toshiki (Saburo) speak in a manly way. Not even Masuda-san can save this anime because from the moment the animators decided to do an EX-ARMS and Berserk 2016, Sabiiro no armor already shot itself in the foot with no way of redeeming itself

I've not seen the stage-play so I went into this anime blind. I'm sure the characters and the story are exciting in the stage-play but it's very hard to get yourself immersed into it when the anime's background is lackluster and when the anime decided to put 2D into ...
