Tenkuu Shinpan

Ah. Well. Contrary to popular opinion i didn't like this. Now i know what you're thinking. 'Wtf' this anime is awesome its got plot (i guess), interesting characters (sniper mask. . i guess) and fanservice (You got to love the angles) BUT: Throughout the whole of this anime for some reason something was bugging me & i couldn't quite put my finger ln it usually i dont nitpick when it comes to anime - im very open to watching a lot of genres. And this was by no means BAD - but i noticed a lot of regenerated & inspired references or similarities to other mangas and novels that have this a somewhat 'Generic' vibe despite the fact it was kinda exciting to watch. I tried to ignore that feeling but it was bugging at me the whole time. Now i know for a fact most people will like this story, these characters and show. But its not for me. Despite the fact ive enjoyed similar titles such as Alice in borderland, battle royale or even mirai nikki. So try it - you may very well enjoy it. but by the Chance you don't let me know if you felt the same way i did - and if you did - do you have an explanation for this generic feel?

First of all I want to apologize for my future spelling and syntax errors in English, and it also my first review^^ // contains minor spoiler about this 12 episodes// Already concerning the tag on this anime, I think the horror tag on this anime leaves something to be desired, they left it there because the anime shows a few drops of blood, and in the first episodes despair but nothing to real dramatic and real psychologic concerning the protagonists. But the problem is the atmosphere and the staging of all this, I expected a darker atmosphere overall, being a bit of a fan of this genre, I do not know it may be wrong here. Besides, it may not be important but I smiled more than anything else during the whole show haha. The fan service, well it's at least a panty plan in each episode, personally not really embarrassing but it is undoubtedly frowned upon for this kind of show, an attempt in addition to monopolizing another type of audience. ;)) You have some funny moment i found nice. // spoil // continuity error Regarding maybe a continuity error, I'm not sure but Yuri in episode 1, his cell phone was skewered by a swordsman and this fact throws overboard, that's why Yuri asks for Mayuko's cell phone every time to make calls, but in episode 6 at 10 minutes 20 she seems to have magically recovered her cellphone ?? So am I the one who missed something? and then of course she destroys it with her hand in the next episode haha, if it is indeed a continuity error she is very funny for me at that moment she had no means of communication. // end of spoil // The sound, honestly ok, nothing more. The characters are nice, the MC a little lost but who will motivate those around him thanks to his enthusiasm, his friend who seems to fall under his spell as if there was an air of shojo-ai in the air, Sniper kamen clean and classy and Rika calm and more reflexive person than his Yuri. And then I perhaps spat on the horror tag, and even if for some scenes it justified, I think it's more than that. The suspense of the codes, the masks, their powers, "their world" and many others I think. (I didn't read the manga, I forgot to mention it), It was nice and it makes me want to know more. Well overall if I don't take a few things into account, it was nice to watch from all angles. ;) If there is a season 2 I would be there. Is this a show that I would recommend? if you have nothing better to watch in the genre.

A new anime series from Netflix. A girl got thrown into an alternate world with masked killers and now she and her new friends had to get out and return to the real world. What I liked about the series was the premise. It’s not the most unique as Netflix just released a series similar to this called “Alice in Borderland.” However, there’s still good enough world building and competition to make me invested. Some of the characters were also good. The sniper character was very cool and I was invested in his story of rediscovering his identity. Also for most action scenes there was one musical score used, and the score was quite dope and gave some excitement to the fight. However, this series has many problems. Even though the animation was pretty good, the actions were mostly boring and ended too quickly. This took away the rush and excitement at the beginning of each fight. There were too many characters for only 12 episodes, with many were irrelevant and some just popped up out of nowhere. There wasn’t enough time to invest in this many characters. Also, the main protagonist was pretty bland and generic for a shounen. There wasn’t anything unique to her character. Overall, it’s an alright action horror fantasy anime, but I still look forward to season 2. 6/10

first thing i wanna point at is how an amazing job the studio and Netflix did adapting this, they literally put almost 200 chapter in 12 episodes without making it look rushed or something, and i wouldn't say they cut but more like they summed it up really nicely. At the beginning and looking to the main story u will absolutely feel wowed even tho it's not something new but a bit original imo, characters r on fire specially the sniper mask oh god xD But unfortunately the writing is horrible, it started so good then it went down hill :") the thing is (as i think) it has so many plot twist to create new obstacles each time that it made it full of plot holes, and it might doesn't show in the anime but the manga was so stretched that it lost its value.. but it will still keep u watching to see how it end cause the thriller element of the story is definitely there I usually hate fan service, but in this one i didn't mind xd since they were kinda cute (?!??!) and made sense cause when u jump or a wind blow ofcourse ur panties will show ,-, Hopefully there will be a second season, and i hope the studio will go on their own from here in and doesn't follow the manga cause the ending had 0 meaning since it was axed .. so i will be waiting

"High-Rise Invasion" is an anime adapted from the manga "Sky Violation." The series tells the story of Yuri, a high school student who finds herself in a world of skyscrapers connected by suspended bridges, where she must escape from masked men who want to kill her or make her commit suicide. Her goal is to reach the tallest tower in the city, where she hopes to find her older brother. The anime presents itself as a thriller, horror, and splatter with elements of action and mystery, but it fails to convince for several reasons. First of all, I'll start with a small rant: the ending of the series spoils the identity of the sniper-mask, thus ruining the one and only mysterious character in the series. This is an example of how the anime lacks attention to direction and scriptwriting. Everything is based on excessive and out-of-place fan service, making the female protagonists sexual objects and diminishing their credibility as real characters in a series of this kind. Furthermore, the characters are stereotyped in a very crude manner. The protagonist will meet a girl at the beginning of the series, and from the way she dresses and her hair color and style, you'll know exactly how she will behave and what her role will be in the story, failing to evoke empathy or interest from the viewer. The plot is inconsistent, borrowing elements from other more famous works and not explaining the motivations behind the characters' actions very well. The positives of the work are few and not enough to save the product. You can appreciate the ability to create suspense and involve the viewer in an extreme and mysterious situation, the consistently fitting music, the energetic opening, the technically well-done action scenes, and the character designs. Additionally, the anime skillfully blends various genres, such as action, drama, horror, and mystery (except for the unfortunate sniper-mask). In conclusion, "High-Rise Invasion" is an anime that doesn't meet expectations and disappoints due to its low quality. Warning: This part contains minor spoilers. In the anime, everyone is trapped in a world of skyscrapers connected by suspended bridges, constantly threatened by masked killers. Initially, it seems that the only way to escape is suicide or to move from one building to another by taking advantage of the suspended bridges between rooftops, as the staircases are walled off, and there is no way to descend to the streets. However, as the story progresses, some characters develop special powers that could allow them to reach the ground and move from there. Still, no one seems interested in doing so, preferring to continue moving between the rooftops and trying to reach the tallest tower in the city from there rather than from the deserted streets. This behavior appears illogical and inconsistent, and it undermines the credibility of the plot. I might have missed an explanation for this, but I couldn't find any information about it on the internet.

The theme of the world that was presented was very interesting. The theme of people losing their personality and consciousness after putting on a mask and being forced to follow orders was something surprising. When we later learn about the candidates for god, we slowly begin to understand what this may be about. We meet various characters and their motives, the real world is brutal and people with different pasts come here. When it comes to the characters, the honestly masked sniper is a character I wanted to watch, the rest have their pros and cons. The main character, however, often changes her character, which makes her somewhat vague; compared to her companion, she was simply bland, and the fact that she gained strength towards the end makes her even more indifferent to the viewer. I rate the anime as good, but the ecchi scenes were exaggerated for a series that is not of this genre. Apart from the masked pervert and the policeman, each subsequent scene with strong ecchi was unnecessary.

i really didnt like yuris charachter at the start and that almost made me not continuoe to watch it but i never rate something before i see all of it. I like the consistency of art and the idea of the sphere where among the people they are trying to find a god. There is a good psychological connection between the idea and the charachters, it gives it more quality. It also displays a lot of people "day to day problems that they face in the "normal" world and the anger is being redirected into the energy the masks command to preform the action of eliminating. The masks and their power that they provide to the user remind me of JoJos idea with Stands.

After finishing High-Rise Invasion, I have a lot of mixed feelings. The plot itself is actually pretty good and I found myself extremely intrigued by it. The Masks were all stunning, with most of them based on horror tropes that were pretty easily identifiable, and I enjoyed the aspect of it. The idea of the dystopian world was intriguing and, for me, brand new and I really enjoyed it. I found a majority of the characters relatable in a way and found myself binge watching it with ease. The psychological horror was very apt, and although it pulled from some overused tropes, it was still enjoyable. Now, usually, that would be enough for me to turn around and easily give it a 9/10, maybe an 8. But I cannot get past the fan service. I can't. The series is absolutely diluted with it, making your cup of juice taste like water with a single drop of flavoring and making your brain shudder at the mixed signals coming through. The plot was strong enough. The characters were strong enough. The concept as a whole is intriguing and curious. The fan service was not needed. And, unfortunately, it came off to me in the way that the creators didn't trust their anime, or trust the fanbase of a relatively popular series, to actually enjoy the show. They had to pull on countless unnecessary panty shots in hopes to pull in more viewers and to be honest, that worsened the anime. If it was kept to be a psychological, dystopian horror, this would be amazing. But the fan service has left a bad taste in my mouth. People will say welcome to anime, but oh, I am no stranger to anime. I'm well versed with fan service and the amount in this just takes the mick. It was doing well and it wasn't needed and it just got to the point it actively limited my enjoyment quite massively. If you can get past the fan service, then this one is for you. If you can't then you're probably better off skimming the horror section for something else.

What a complete mess of an anime. What was the tone they were trying to go with here? Comedy? Serious Drama? Psychological? Slasher Horror? Like serious wtf is this dumpster fire? The writing is borderline offensively bad, the art is constantly off model, the animation budget must have been $5, and the voice acting/scripting was questionable at best. Like why the fuck is Yuri running toward the stairs to chase after s specific mask while screaming for 10 seconds straight? Like what the actual hell? Concepts are presented and then thrown out the window almost immediately. Oh you thought talking masks were rare? NOPE. Every mask and their dog can talk now. Masks are supposed to push people into committing suicide? Nope! Every mask just straight up murders everyone now! It feels like it was written by some edgy 12 year old because the story/world building is not only nonsensical but every concept is forgotten about in an episode or two. Our 12 year old author was obviously very horny too because holy shit is there a lot of needless panty shots. Like yeah panty shots are nothing new but Tenkuu Shinpan has the dumbest, most pointless panty shots I have ever seen. Yuri is really bad for this. Constantly she is flashing her panties to everyone, including her girlfriend after 2 days Mayu. To add to the panty shots we have Mayu over here running around with her bra hanging out for 90% of the anime as well. Was I supposed to be sad when the doctor died? Okay. But no. That was hilarious. 2/10 What a clusterfuck.

It's not that bad, I just think that the story is very confusing especially during the beginning but after watching for a bit, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. The art is pretty decent, not outstanding or whatsoever but definitely not the worst. I liked the characters too but the character development seems so out-of-place but whatever, it's really not the worst anime and I won't complain much further. Overview: Decent, average anime, likeable characters, the gay moments are a 10/10 for me, Sniper Mask is hot, average art, you'll probably enjoy this if you like panties. A solid 7/10 for me.

Can netflix do anything right? they take beloved IPs like Tenkuu shinpan, or Kengan Asura and turn the anime into trash. There is no doubt that the director had a long nose in his ear saying do this do that. Even the subs are incorrect. First off, the character isnt Rika, onii-chan doesn't mean Rika. Now you as a seasoned anime watcher might think, ok who cares, we know that means Rika is her brother. Now consider that Netflix is a platform for normies to ruin and shit up anime. Nobody who is a normie will get that, and it's just such a basic concept. The entire story does not make sense because the subs are incorrect. Who is Rika? Why would she even care? Well its her fucking brother. Now this boils down into why Netflix anime is so bad and they will never get it. This was a flier, they threw away money on cuties, they honestly dont care about profit, this is just another one in the wheel of garbage they churn out. They will take a beloved IP, and they will completely fuck it up. Hey you liked Death Note? How about Light is an edgy teenager named Sean and L is some dumbass black guy? Hey you liked Kengan Asura? How about we make it in CGI and don't focus on fight scenes? Netflix will never get it, they will never understand. When you have a long nose in charge of direction who has never watched anime what do you think they will do? They tried to make this show into lesbian propaganda, that is probably the only reason they picked it up. It's trash dont watch this read the manga.

Half-crazy protagonist, in my humble opinion, he's going to go crazy when his brother is killed and he's going to make everyone a dick. After that it is entertaining but not so much with or to recommend it. There are some characters that make me lazy to see them kind of keep them, please, they are useless fucking. But hey taking that out is entertaining. But I do not recommend it. En español: Protagonista medio loca, en mi humilde opinión se va volver loca cuando maten al hermano y va a hacer pija a todos. Después de eso es entretenida pero no tanto con o para recomendarla. Hay algunos personajes que me dan una pereza verlos tipo mantelos por favor son unos putos inútiles. Pero bueno sacando eso es entretenida. Pero no te la recomiendo.

*Review contains spoilers* Story 7/10 To be honest, I had no idea what this was about. I just started watching because my family randomly decided on something to watch together...I must admit that the initial chapter kept me comparing this to other similar works such as Alice in Borderland, Maze Runner, Hunger games and I wasn't much into it. However, as the story progresses it manages to keep you interested and engaged. Tenkuu Shinpan does add interesting twist to the story, with people being trapped in skyscrapers connected through bridges, the different types of masks and their meaning and differentiating "participants". While watching this I was reminded of why I HATE watching on going stuff...there are so many questions left: what is this world? who created it? why did the people in there get chosen to be there? why do cellphones work if "Participants" are not in their real world? why were masks created? what is the purpose of all this? what makes a person "God candidate" (meaning, what criteria is taken into account to give someone a mouthless mask?), what determines the God candidates' progress and strengths? All in all, not a jaw dropping show but definitely interesting...so much so, that I will be reading the manga with the hopes of finding answers to my questions. Great cliff hanger at the end. I liked the twist given with Sniper Mask and Rika apparently being friends. At first I thought Sniper Mask was Yuri's brother. *side note: -no idea as to why the high focus on women's underwear? -why high schoolers as protagonists? Art 8/10 This anime looks pretty cool to me. Sound 7/10 Nothing to highlight in this area, but it was OK. Characters 7/10 I think the anime counts with a wide array of characters, which keeps things interesting. I did find Yuri a bit annoying and clumsy at times, but overall, she is a good female lead character as she is very proactive, strong and resourceful. I like that she is quick to take action as opposed to being a damsel in distress. I like Mayuko for the same reasons. Now, can somebody explain to me why was Kuon the one chosen to be able to control the big gun-building? She is very powerful, but she is completely useless in combat. I can't say I dislike her though. Talking about Kuon bring to mind one of my favorite characters, Sniper Mask. I am completely intrigued by this character, not only because we have been purposely unable to see his face, but because of his journey. He himself has no clue about his past or who he is. I also liked he seems to be smart and resourceful. An also intriguing character is Kusakabe, with having a child and all. I so want to know how they got separated. Along with Sniper Mask, Rika is also one of my favorites. He seems to also be strong, resourceful and with a strong will. Should have seen coming he was going to be used against his sister and friend. Enjoyment 8/10 An anime I was pleasantly surprised at. It is very short so far, so its definitely not a waste of time. I will be reading the manga, so that tells you it is interesting enough.

High Rise Invasion is an action packed anime that throws you into a chaotic world of towering skyscrapers, masked killers, and nonstop danger. The premise is bold and unique, and the series wastes no time diving into its survival game chaos. Yuri Honjou is a standout protagonist, strong, determined, and easy to root for as she fights her way through a brutal and bizarre new reality. The action is intense, the pacing is sharp, and the visuals bring the high stakes world to life in a way that’s both stylish and gripping. While it’s wild and occasionally over the top, that’s part of the fun. If you enjoy high energy, edge of your seat anime with a dark twist and a fierce female lead, High Rise Invasion is an exhilarating watch that doesn’t disappoint.

High-Rise Invasion pissed me off, but I still finished it—mainly because it was only 12 episodes, and I didn’t have anything else to watch at the time. The plot itself was just okay—it wasn’t anything new or particularly unique, but it had potential to be a fun, chaotic action series. Unfortunately, the execution was pretty lackluster. The animation was choppy, which made some of the fights less enjoyable, though it wasn’t completely unwatchable. If the story had been stronger, I could’ve overlooked the animation issues, but sadly, that wasn’t the case. But the biggest problem? The constant, in-your-face fanservice. It was excessive to the point where it felt like the show cared more about sexualizing its female characters than actually telling a compelling story. Almost every time a female character moved, the camera just had to zoom in on chest shots, underwear flashes, or completely unnecessary jiggling. And don’t even get me started on the clothing damage—the main girls were constantly getting their outfits torn apart, revealing way too much for no good reason. Then there were the panty shots mid-fight, which just felt absurd. I mean, I’m trying to watch a cool, action-packed survival story, not a show that turns every fight into an excuse to undress its female characters. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, they also threw in yuri-bait for no real reason other than to pander to a specific audience. Overall, this anime had potential (not really), but the unnecessary sexualization completely ruined the experience.

Yeah, what a waste of time. It's never a good sign when your Main Character is a Mary Sue and the most annoying one of the whole ensemble and the more interesting characters lack time on screen. The story has an interesting premise but after episode 4 everything collapses and it becomes a mess. But by far the biggest flaw of this show is its fanservice. Some other review called it: " if cringe is an anime". This quote describes the issue pretty good. Holy Fuck, this anime is embarrassing. It seems that the show runners had to fulfill a quota of panty shots per episode. They delivered. Additionally there are some very uncomfortable scenes which only let me shake my head and questioned the creators state of mind. The setting is interesting and showed some potential. Sound is quite good. Animation solid. Overall this pretty bad. Don't waste your time with this cringefest. There is much better stuff out there.

Underrated show. The premise may seem like a typical survival game but the setting is unique (and also sort of like a fever dream for some weird reason). The plot may not make much sense sometimes, but the animation is decent and some of the fight scenes are pretty good too (wish there was more over-the-top action scenes though). Characters are fine, not that great, but not bad either. Also the OST is really good (some nice symphonic metal, metalcore and djent). Overall I'd say it's pretty good, although there's always room for improvement. Hopefully there's a second season, and it has even better background music.

So i started watching this show just because it was on netflix, everyone on the internet or loved this or hated this, but most the people called it "cringe" And in my opinion is... cringe. I will start with the good points, i think the base idea is amazing and creative, the idea of the masks is unique, the designs are ok except for the main characters lol, good ost, amazing animation, nice panty shots :)). Ok the first episode was perfect, i falled in love with the show, the second was fine but the 3 and 4 episodes ware awful, then the episodes 5-12 ware better but never at the level of the first tbh. The problems are lot of non sense, random emotions, characters can be feeling horny just because no reason and blushing in fights, its just cringe, the voice lines (script) are bad... no, very very bad. Making the 2 main characters being the worst ones tbh. The best character imo is the same as everyone... Sniper Mask. My enjoyment was good, but i cant lie and say i dont feel sad about the wasted potential this anime was. Anyways watch if you just want to ignore all the bulshit and have some fun (also if you love gore) (and panties 🤤) 6/10

High-Rise Invasion is so fun, I quickly found myself invested and intrigued. I loved the premise and the plot, the action was also great and all the characters are so unique not to mention, how cool their design is. I can't believe there's no information on whether there's going to be a second season or not because there's no way it ended like THAT. I need it, like right now, I need to know what happens. I loved the chemistry between Yuri and Mayuko, they're the cutest. Also, Kuon is so relatable, I, too, have a crush on Sniper Mask. I read some reviews and I don't understand how there's so many people that disliked this. We all have our own opinions and tastes, but some of the stuff I read was just too "harsh". There's this one review that talked about "lesbian scenes" and I just need to know, do people understand what affection is? Anyway, overral this is a 10/10. I loved it.

I started watching this anime without knowing anything about it. The idea of the story seemed really nice from the first 2 episodes and it kept me watching. However, the characters do not have as "strong" or "well based" personality as they should and also there were many unnecessary scenes of panties (sometimes used as a joke). The episodes in the middle of the anime were fine/good with a bit of suspence. The last episodes were kind of predictable at some point but they were fine/good too. There are a lot of way better anime but if you are bored and you have seen all the high quality ones then this is not such a bad idea..I believe it had the potencials to be much better but it is just "a fast made anime". STORY: 7/10 ART: 7/10 SOUND: 6/10 CHARACTERS: 4/10 ENJOYMENT: 7/10 OVERALL: 6.5/10
