It does shine during action scenes with neatly choreographed fights and resorts to a more static approach during quiet scenes. The animation is average but suffers from some hiccups (weirdly drawn faces, awkward CG). As a result, it limits the number of people the viewers will seriously consider as potential suspects. They all have their own story, abilities, and personality, but only a select few enjoy some growth and proper screen time. Yet, that is quickly shot down as not all seven characters benefit from the same characterization treatment. As a whodunit, what is expected from the audience is to start doubting all characters and try to find clues and hints about the culprit in every scene and dialogue.
Rokka no Yuusha is definitely a slow burner.
Meaning that most anime will focus on the same seven characters and will use the same backgrounds, something that can be difficult to manage considering how short the season is. The goal here will be to avoid that said murder actually happens. The viewers are smartly tricked through the first 2-3 episodes until the shocking reveal that it is about a locked room mystery…without the murder for once. The story’s direction in Rokka no Yuusha is a breath of fresh air in the overcrowded fantasy genre. It is directed by Takeo Takahashi, written by Tatsuhiko Urahara, and composed by Michiru Oushima. Rokka no Yuusha premiered on July 4 and ended on September 19, 2015. What Is Going on With Passione?

The group starts to suspect that the fake one is here to kill the real heroes.Īdlet is quickly pointed at as the culprit under the pretense that his story has too many holes. Quite the predicament as Braves is supposed to be six, not seven. They find the barrier already activated and three more Braves (Hans, Maura, and Chamot). They encounter Flamie (called the Brave-Killer) and Goldov (Nachetanya’s bodyguard), and the group heads to a temple, which they have been told hides a barrier that should be helpful in their quest. Princess Nachetanya, another Brave, then rescues Adlet, and both run away toward the Demon God. He is promptly thrown in jail, where he expresses his wish to become a Brave, a wish that he sees fulfilled on the same night. Two generations of Brave have already emerged in the past, and now, the world is in danger again.Įnter our protagonist: Adlet Myer, the self-proclaimed “strongest man in the world.” We meet him as he interrupts a holy tournament. She chooses a group of six warriors each time to prevent a catastrophe, marking them with a flower. However, the Saint predicts that every 300 years, they will be able to come back due to the seal weakening. As the anime ended on a non-conclusive note, is there a probability of receiving a second season?
