Kemono Jihen

==Kemono Jihen== Story 7/10 Monster incidents, good story. Kabane shouldn't knew about himself or family. But, i love part when Inugami reveal who's himself and trying to finding his family Art 8/10 Maybe the character design, has similar to detective conan. The art and environment are good, there's nothing problem for me Sound 8/10 Opening soundtrack are good one for me. I really enjoy the beat, and always listen to it. Character 7/10 Kabane is my favorite character. He's cool and also stronger than other character. And Akira is the most annoying character because he is always cried anytime, but without Akira maybe Kemono Jihen is nothing. Enjoyment 8/10 I enjoy this anime, but maybe the story isn't climax OVERALL 7,5

Kemono Jihen is one of those stories where the main character is kind of a self-insert. It’s not quite the same as a typical isekai protagonist, in that it is just a power fantasy. Though that could be a part of it. That just isn’t the sole focus. It’s more like he is the catalyst for the rest of the characters. He is stronger than most, has the ability to heal indefinitely, and can summon even more strength if need be. Basically he’s an overpowered badass that assures you that everything will be alright. There isn’t anything inherently wrong with that, but it does make things less interesting being aware of this. It doesn’t help that he’s a blank slate with little to no emotion. Of course that doesn’t ruin the show. There are plenty of other aspects of the show to enjoy, like the setting. The world of Kemono Jihen is nothing special. It is pretty much set in the real modern world with supernatural elements sprinkled in. There are spirits, beasts, and everything in between. Kabane, our main character, is what you would call a hanyo. It’s a combination of a human and a khoular, a “bloodless demon.” There are other classifications for human-beast hybrids, but it doesn’t go into much more depth than that. It’s really only important in regards to Kabane to explain why he is overpowered. I guess if you inherently like this type of show then it’s for you. As for the other characters, they are fine. You’ve got Akira, who has ice powers, who is from some snowy ice village occupied by mostly females. Males are born every 100 years. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to work. I guess that explains why they have such a low population, but even that must be hard to maintain. Maybe the women FREEZE their eggs. Who knows? Akira and his brother Yui, who also has ice powers, were currently the only males living there. Of course they were mistreated, so they ran away. Yui is a bit over protective, and it all comes to a head in the final arc of the show. It’s all very heartfelt and kind of cliche. Then there is Shiki, who has the power of silk like a spider, who had a traumatic incident involving his mother as a child. There was a conspiracy and some betrayal, but it didn’t end too badly. That’s really all the interesting characters. Overall it was a fun supernatural action show. The main character is a bit lacking, but maybe that’s on purpose. I think it could have used more world building and a more in-depth power system. It has a pretty high production value, so that’s a plus also.

What can you even say Best anime of the year next to TR NOTHING BUT 10s WHAT CAN YOU EVEN SAY ???

If it's a food, this anime is a perfect blend of every common ingredient that available in every anime into a dish that is extraordinarily satisfying. A little bit of everything place and mixed into their respective place and just at the right dose. It might not be 3 stars Michelin food, but I like it a lot. I often think Anime is the same as food. Some would like what others don't, there is one of a kind that is everyone's favorite, there is some food that everyone hates but still has certain people that love it. If its food, you could say that I'm a person that would eat everything, as bad as it is as long as it is edible and more importantly doesn't have paprika and any bitter vegetables, I would immediately throw the food away if it contains those, no matter how expensive it is, or even if it's been cooked by Gordon Ramsay or even any 3 Michelin star Chef. That's just the kind of person I am. Ah look how wrong I was, this one slap me hard, smack my stupidity so badly of not knowing how broad and wide this world is. It's what this anime did. I would say it's how the anime is directed, I'm not familiar with the manga, but it feels like that this is also a very well-written story and well-directed craft. Just like the paprika, there are some things in anime that I like to avoid, not because it's bad, It's just that I don't enjoy those things, which is 1. kids in most anime, they often get too naive with saving the world and beat the hell of bad guy just to get their ass kicked with a very cliche hostage situation, it's too old shounen cliche that irritates me a lot 2. a character that lacks decisive action, talks like girls, and CRY A LOT, in other words, Akira. (damn even with all that, they force me not to hate this character, what a brilliant) Despite things I don't like, I'm still gonna bite anything edible to see if its good. And what a surprise, This anime is what makes me realize that I finally meet one of a kind anime that successfully blends the factor that I hate the most from anime into something extraordinarily satisfying and makes me craving for more and more and this might be a problem for me if there is no 2nd season. Hell, I would settle for a spin-off with Aya and Shiki spider family adventure. The spider family introduction is the best part of the entire anime IMO. Even as satisfying as that, it doesn't outshine our MC, its just perfectly mixed together. Also, the development between our MC and Kon is something fresh to me and very much interesting to see how they gonna develop it later in the story. I would say that it is the director that put up a lot of great works here, beside of how well it is directed, the Seiyuus also consist of those of my favorites: HanaKana play the bad guy is something rare, Ono daisuke, natsuki hanae, suwabe junichi the immortal Ojisan, shimono hiro, they even get ishida akira. Damn, that is some serious quality. So if by any chance there is someone out there that might be just like me, that kinda like to avoid those things I mentioned above, you ABSOLUTELY need to give this a top priority binge, lol. As for the other people that has no character preference, this is a strong recommendation for you, since if a picky watcher like me enjoy this, there is a high chance you might enjoy it too. Except if you don't like anime being unrealistic about how mature the kids in this anime, maybe you should stick to Marvel and DC. Cheers. Overall Enjoyment 10/10. Favorite Character: Aya, too small to shoulder too heavy burden, but stand strong, unreal.

"Wasted opportunity"? "Poorly written and directed"? " "Pretentious Shounen Anime"? "Merchandise bait"? It's hard to point out where it really went wrong when everything was a mess. What started off with so much promise on its very first episode with its dark, serious, and mysterious vibes, drastically changed into a much lighter, tensionless, more comical kind of Anime by the very next episode. And while it had some pretty serious arcs that one would have expected after watching the first episode, it's hard to appreciate those when the build-up for it has either been done poorly or simply just non-existent in the first place. While it did have a pretty good last arc (I was watching the last 3 episodes on background as I write this review), it still doesn't justify the very messy story-telling that could've ruined the entirety of the Anime. Just like some other reviewers, I'm also surprised to see that this has mostly positive reviews. But in a way, I can see how people liked it. I mean, I DID manage to watch the entirety of it without feeling forced and regretful by the end. But frankly, it was mostly the visuals that got me to stay. The art design is so easy on the eyes, and while the characters didn't have much depth, they were diverse and unique enough to produce some fun moments. Plus, the VA is pretty good too. But still, those random good things that are scattered all over the messy story shouldn't be the basis of its overall rating. And speaking of rating, here's mine: STORY - 3/10: While the main plot and character arcs are interesting, it lacked proper build-up and the pacing of the story felt too rushed. Most battles got a *One Punch Man* treatment, beaten with one strike after long random conversations. But since the Anime ended on a pretty good note, the 2nd season might have an opportunity to redeem it's initial potential. CHARACTERS - 6/10: I would've rated this higher but, with the story being so messy the characters didn't really have much to play around with. But since it's the only reason I managed to survive this anime, I'd give it a fair rating. Good VAs, distinguishable designs, and quite fun personalities. Unfortunately, the protagonist lost most of his mysteriousness too early, and he doesn't come off as oblivious as he should be. There's also the spider girl that immediately got turned into a loli. Inugami, Kon, and Nobimaru seem to be the most consistent so far. Akira weirdly provided most of the entertainment for me, personally, annoying the noises he makes may be. ART and SOUND - 6/10: I haven't really noticed the BGMs much so, this SOUND rating is just for the OP/ED theme. The Art looked so good in the first episode, looked lame for the rest until the last arc came. I don't follow behind-the-scenes news so, I don't know if the production of Kemono Jihen has been affected by the pandemic. But it definitely showed promise. And judging by how it ended, still has the potential to be a good Anime.

I'm not good writing reviews or whatever, but I wanted to say, the anime is pretty enjoyable, the art is decent, the sound is ok, no complains, the story is nothing special but is not bad either, could sound like vague examples but I said I'm not good at this, the point is, the characters... I think some of them don't get a fair treat (sorry for the bad english) and just get wasted, they do some development on them, but just to put them aside, you should not make the viewer feel something for a character just to not follow up on them and just use them to fill some minutes in the show and completely forget about them, whats the point? I was going to give the anime a fair rating but now I got really frustrated and sad and angry about this, what they did is not fair, so, there's my review. Even in the cover they are hypocrites, you don't play with the feelings of the viewers like that, disguisting. UPDATE: I'll change my rating from a 5 to 6 because I adimt I didn't watch the end of the last episode before writing the review, but I'll not put any higher rating because even if at the end they do things better, nothing says that they in fact, are gonna be fair with "that character" in future seasons, considering how the main character behaves currently, if I see it I'll change my opinion

The start of this year certainly came in swinging. Massive titles either got released or second seasons of. It was absolutely stacked, and I just didn’t have enough time to watch everything, so this was one of the anime I just put to one side. I got round to watching it the other night and I’m glad I did because it wasn’t half bad. I went into it with low expectations and came out pleased. I think that it needed another 12 episodes though but satisfied that it needs some sitting room for now. Where it left off was perfectly okay. Enjoyed the pacing quite a bit. Everything felt very purposeful and meaningful. Characters got some good background too them and were overall likeable. I noticed a lot of the voice actors in this as well. I thought that the art style was fitting but nothing amazing. Which is just fine because it doesn’t need to be that way. The opening and the ending I thought was rather forgettable along with the OST. They fit their purpose, but I just walked away thinking what was the opening again? Overall, though, I quite enjoyed it. I liked the story quite a lot and I thought that the world was interesting. I didn’t like how one of the characters just sort of changed personality halfway through it and the whole back and forth thing about love all the time, but it wasn’t too much of an issue to me. It is something I can look past. I look forward to whatever is next in store for this series.

I'm always down for any anime rooted in myths and folklore. Honestly, the first episode was kinda iffy, and I didn't trust it to begin with. I found Kabane's dead face off-putting, and the first episode felt a bit messy. It fits well in hindsight, but that's how I felt at the time. I'm so so glad I gave this anime a chance, since I thoroughly enjoyed it from there (except for that, Nobimaru...dont know why but I absolutely can't stand that guy!). Inari's manipulation of Kon is a true masterpiece, I felt, and Shiki and Akira are super adorable! Also Kon's crush on Kabane is so cute! Kemono Jihen, I feel, underneath all the magic and creatures, is a story of facing your trauma, and dealing with your past. Ya sure these kids are dealing with interesting problems, but ultimately, they're abandoned kids and they're learning to understand that their parents had guardians had reasons. And they're moving on from that. Kabane's also tends to grow from "dead guy to no feelings" to "ded guy with MAYBE some feelings", and that was cute. The story is quite interesting, and keeps you waiting for the next episode. I enjoyed Shiki's arc the best, and i'll be waiting for a season 2!

This anime surprised me when I started it. Not expecting much from a demon anime, which to my pleasant surprise, turned into a fine piece of work. The story follows a boy ridiculed in his current town. Not knowing much of his past he survived with the little he received and all the mistreatment from his own family. He was later picked up by a man who said will help him learn of his parents. With that his new life started in Tokyo fixing demons problems. The action was well drawn out, interesting and hype to say the least. With some interesting twist and amusing turns. From the first episode you feel how different the fights will be in this anime. I truly enjoyed the dynamic between the kids and other characters in their work space. They were quite humorous, pure, and idiotic. But, when things got serious each character had a role and did it well, even if it was to pass out. For a normal 12 episode anime, it pulls the heart strings good. Honestly, I got teary eyed more than once in this anime, and that is a wonderful thing. It really makes you want to root for the kids and their lives. This anime did many wonderful things and I hope to see more in the future.

This is my first review so it may not be up to par with the others you see, with that being said I think Kemono Jihen is a well rounded anime, its character development is much better than I expected it to be and the cast each has their own unique personality which makes them memorable (which is nice for someone like me who sometimes has a difficult time remembering names for characters) and I had many "Woah" moments when it came to the fight scenes with some clever moves pulled in the course of the story though the anime. The part I liked best is how the characters each interacted with each other through the course of the series and seeing each of them grow and become a team in every sense of the word, I would recommend this to anybody looking for something to watch as it as this anime is certainly something of an underdog, hope it gets renewed!

Kemono jihen actually turned out to be a lot more interesting than i had imagined when starting, i had some hopes for it but not much. The character building throughout the show was nicely done. They seemed to have used the usual character personas however they focused on their relationships and internal battles making them feel "real". Not for many shows can i say that i liked the whole cast. Akira - The possible trap could get tiring at times. It also seemed to me she put to much enthusiasm / emotion into her voice and it did not fit her body language at all, she could be yelling or crying yet it doesn't feel genuine. Besides for her and that big boobed villain all the characters were nice. To me the story seems more on the open ended side, focusing on finding kabanes parents while doing side jobs for inugami with general characterization scenes. The series had a darker tone riding along with it but could be just the opposite when it wanted. I found the art style was rather bland. It looked like general animation but with less depth in it. wasn't bad. I feel this series has only initiated the setup of the story while getting us intrigued in the characters leaving a big window for an epic second season.
