Hey all I’m back with another new series for this week’s Anime Sunday. It’s my Tensura Episode 01 Impressions!
Plot: This first episode is pretty focused on the Mikami’s life in Modern Day Japan, and while it does get us to the first big plot point it’s taking it’s time. So those wanting a ton of action will probably be disappointed. I wasn’t one of those people however as I’m really happy they’re taking a slow pace with the series and doing the story justice. I will admit I’ve read the Light Novels this is adapted from, and seeing it take such a slow pace when compared to the frenetic pace other adaptations have done in the past is really good.
Characters: Mikami is a pretty standard dude, honestly he’s kind of boring. Thankfully the rest of the story will make up for that, and Veldora was awesome to see in the Anime. Veldora was a very fun character. We don’t get to meet much of the cast though, but since it’s just the first episode that’s okay.
Art: The art is pretty awesome, and while it’s not ufotable quality Studio 8-Bit did a pretty darn good job.
Music: The music is okay, but it’s not that intense in this first episode so who knows how the rest of the series will handle music.
Overall: An excellent adaptation, with good pacing and excellent artwork.
For those who like: Isekai, Tensei, Fantasy, Magic, Drama, Action, Adventure,Awesome Plot, Great Cast of Characters, Outstanding Artwork, Good Music.
Not for those who don’t like: Any of the above.
