Japanese Animation :April to June 2022

by JRL Anime

I am sorry for the delay and after the article about the murder of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, but I would like to review the anime up to last month.

SPY×FAMILY

The anime is based on a manga serialized in JUMP PLUS. It is a comedy about a father who is a spy, a mother who is an assassin, and a daughter who is a psychic, who each hide their true identities while forming a pseudo-family to live their daily lives.
This pseudo-family exists because of the father’s mission, but you can forget that and still enjoy the show, and I look forward to the second season, which will start airing in October.

Ya Boy Kongming!

This is the PA Works slot for this season. This time it is not original, but based on a manga serialized in Young Magazine.
Many of the recent PA Works works have had difficulty with the flow of the story and the ending, but I was able to enjoy this work ignoring the numerous setting tsukkimis.
If you think about it, rhyming has been an important factor in poetry from ancient Chinese poetry to modern music in all ages and cultures.

The famous military strategist Zhuge Liang Kongming met his demise in the Battle of Wuzhang Plains. On his deathbed, he wishes that his next life were in a peaceful place, free from bloodshed. He is reborn (in his youth) in modern Japan, appearing in the middle of a costume party for Halloween in the club district of Tokyo. The partygoers of Shibuya lure him to a night club where he meets Eiko Tsukimi, an aspiring singer, and his second life begins.

Komi Can’t Communicate

This is an anime based on a manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine. The first season was aired last October, and this is the second season.
The story is about Ms. Komi, who is unable to speak to others face to face (she can only speak in writing), and how she becomes friends with her classmates with various characteristics while dealing with her own complexes.
The fact that Ms. Komi is objectively brilliant and popular in her class makes the problems she faces even deeper. I also sympathize with her because I am also a poor communicator.

Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story

This is the final version of the anime that was aired last year. Although it was difficult to get emotionally involved in the story because there were too many characters and it was hard to keep up with the development of the story, I think it was a clean conclusion.
