Tokkou (Anime) add (All reviews)
Oct 23, 2020
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!
