Tokkou

This is my first review, thought I would make one since I'm feeling a bit bored.

First of all, my opinion would be that this is a great anime show. It's a bit underrated, and I think it deserves more credit then it's given. I'm giving it a 10 because it's one of very few anime shows that actually had me interested. I would say this anime show deserves between a 7-9 rating, but I'm not one to give very low ratings.

Story 7/10 - The storyline was okay, it wasn't anything original, but it wasn't bad either. There is your average sword fighting in it, and ... battling against monsters that are trying to take over with the devil/satan involved, which is nothing new.

• I thought the first episode was good, and it had a good start in the series.
• The ending was pretty bad, it kind of had one of those endings you would see in a Freddy Crugar movie.

Art 8/10- I thought the art was pretty good. When they had the fight scenes where they killed some of the monsters were definetely better than some anime shows. The art for when it showed the limbs of humans torn apart and the blood everywhere was great.The art kind of reminded me of Claymore [also a good anime show] The animation wasn't all that great, and wasn't the best quality, but I thought it was decent.

Characters 9/10- The characters were great. My favorite character from this show would have to be Kureha Suzuka, her weapons were daggers instead of swords, which I thought was unique because most everyone else held swords. The main character was okay, but kind of forgettable. His personality was kind of like your average anime boy.

Overall, I really enjoyed this anime show, and I would definetely reccommend it if you like really gore filled anime shows like Gantz.

all in all it was a great anime it sucks that it wasnt finished or so ive read from various other sites thus the none existant ending its a pretty good anime if u like hack n slash anime if u want a well thought out complex story this might not be ur prefered anime the story is pretty straight forward and doesnt leave much to the imagination but all in all the chracters are great and the back story behind the characters was pretty cool just the actual plot story was kind of a downer but still a decent anime for all its flaws ... its obiously not for children there is partial nudity blood gore and loads of swearing i do hope this review helps u take care and have fun with Tokko

Were you a big Bleach fan who found yourself saying, "if only this were a lot shorter and more like Elfen Lied in terms of bloody violence"? That's Tokko in a nutshell and that's leaving out half the plot.

So you had a cataclysmic event a few years back, some governmental coverup as to the reality of it, and survivors of the event are now gifted with the ability to kill demonic entities. Good thing cause they seem to be running amok out there.

It's a 13 episode run, but it wasn't rushed or over stuffed with details. The story is actually well told ... but ends on a "this is only the beginning" style cliffhanger that it's unfortunate we never saw resolved. We easily could have gotten a two or three season run.

The art style is a bright colorful palate for a dark horror show. We do get some tease of skin but it's nothing blatant. Kudos to the voice cast, the dub is quality and from the gag reel you can tell they enjoyed their time in the booth. Music is very memorable; it's been several years since I last watched this but I can recall the opening better than titles I've binged this year.

A lesser known gem that's worth watching, and we're a week out from Halloween now. Perfect time for Tokko!

Tokko is the story of Ranmaru who joins a group that call them selves Tokko and do their best to destroy the 108 demons that have been coming from another dimension for the last 5 years. They gather the missing pieces of the box that opened the dimension so they can close it and save the human race.

My thought:
This anime was interesting. The storyline does follow from episode to episode, always geared toward killing the head monster. Ranmaru at first wants revenge for his parents death that a monster killed, which leads him to meeting Sakura and the other members of Tokko. I ... guess the ending is ok if they do a second season, otherwise it truly sucks. If you want to watch an anime that has action, lots blood, and gun and sword use, then watch Tokko.
