Kokkoku (Anime) add (All reviews)
Apr 2, 2018
In a sense, this has been such an amazing experience. I'm glad to find some improvement in psychologicals nowadays since they've been overwhelmed with the fanservice-themed anime these days. However, don't worry, even if you're not a fan of psychological anime you'll still enjoy this in most cases.

Story
The family enters Stasis in order to save a NEET and a little kid who were kidnapped on their way home. Stasis is like time travelling, but very detailed. Every thought about how it would be to leap through time? Well, I know I did and this anime incorporates it magnificently. What's even more amusing is the fact that they had such tight bounds to logic all-throughout the anime. They never used the common anime logic. No peculiar instances that only convenience the MC or anything alike. It's a fair fight with no villain or hero, just people with different interests that intervene with one another.

Furthermore, it didn't feel anime themed at all. What I mean by that is the whole thing when they have a 5 minute tea break with the viillain discussing their interests out of the fight, promising not to let anyone die and all those Shounen bull. Instead, it feels more natural as if a normal family was suddenly trapped in time and facing these peculiarities and that's absolutely amazing. The one thing I can complain about here is the ending. It felt too forced towards a happy ending, but that didn't affect the story as a whole.


Art
Didn't impress me that much, but didn't disappoint me either. The animation felt a little bit awkward or, how can I say this, laid-back. But in overall it didn't demote the experience of the anime as a whole. In fact, you might as well say that it fits the anime itself since it wasn't all that serious in either case.

Sound
Probably one of the best in the season. The OST is magnificent and fits with the atmosphere; never skipped the opening. The voice actors also did a fine job, sometimes they felt comic, sometimes oddly serious, but always felt natural.

Entertainment
The whole anime was amazing, but I really hated those cliffhangars every episode. At first, they were indeed interesting and added some thrill, but later on they started getting annoying. You don't have to worry about that if you're planning to binge it, though. The plot is non-linear so be ready for plenty of plot-twists which really makes it all the better. In other words, you'll enjoy this anime if you like laid-back action and some slice of life comedy.
