Ishura: A Unique Exploration of Dark Fantasy

I couldn't even tell you how I came across this anime. I was sick one day and it popped up on the site where I watch anime. The first few episodes dropped and I thought they were good but I didn’t want to wait weekly so I stopped watching until the whole show came out. It being a new year I wanted to get caught up on some of the anime I started but hadn’t finished. This was the first one that I picked and I binged through it.

Ishura

Storyline: In a world where the Demon King has died, a host of demigods capable of felling him have inherited the world. A master fencer who can figure out how to take out their opponent with a single glance; a lancer so swift they can break the sound barrier; a wyvern rogue who fights with three legendary weapons at once; an all-powerful wizard who can speak thoughts into being; an angelic assassin who deals instant death. Eager to attain the title of “One True Hero,” these champions each pursue challenges against formidable foes and spark conflicts themselves. The battle to determine the mightiest of the mighty begins.

Info: 12 Episodes

Genre: Fantasy, Drama, Action

Rating: TV-MA

I got really into the cute fantasy anime this year. They aren’t something I watch for the story, they are just wholesome and make me happy. I thought this would be similar, however, I was surprised by this dark fantasy.

This anime does have basic themes, a demon king, war, dragons, etc. That was creatively executed. The animation is basic but isn’t bad. The dark turn it takes gets you hooked into the storyline.

I think this is the shortest review I have written because there isn’t much to say about this anime.

Ratings:

IMDb: 6.2/10

Anime-Planet: 3.1/5

My Review: Is this the best fantasy I have ever seen? no. Is it worth watching? I think so. I like how they set up each character. You have an emotional connection and when the battle starts you are shocked by who they kill off.

I am surprised more people don’t know of this show. This anime already got approved for a season 2 and I am looking forward to seeing where this story will go.

Have you seen Ishura? What did you think of it?

30-Day Anime Challenge: Day 1

Happy New Year! I did a 30-day anime challenge last year and had a blast with it. It would be fun to do it again this year. Let’s see if my tastes have changed at all in a year.

The purpose of these challenges is to post a picture, but I, being the extra person I am, will write a blog about each topic.

This differs from what I am used to blogging, which excites me to test my creativity and go back to find the answers to these writing prompts.

Organizing Your Anime: My Methods for Tracking and Completing Anime

My Anime List From 2013 to 2024

Let’s get it out of the way, I am a freak. I first started watching anime in 2013ish. I realized quickly that there were too many anime I wanted to watch to keep track of them all. I also found it annoying to try and remember which episode you were on in a show, it would take the fun out of watching it by trying to remember and starting an episode only to realize you had already watched it.

Bye for now!
