Review on Katanagatari

For me adventure-themed anime is always entertaining but some actions leads to boring episodes and even worse, bad artwork of the characters development. However, in the case of Katanagatari, it has a feeling of drawing the attention of the viewers as if they were playing an RPG game viewing as the third person.

The main protagonist is the seventh successor of the Kyoto Ryu, or bladeless, Yasuri Shichika. He's living in a peaceful island with Nanami, his sister. When he was suddenly visited by a mysterious girl named Togame. This fateful encounter soon led to him being asked by the new arrival to help her in locating the final twelve swords that were forged by Shizaki Kiki, the legendary master swordsmith. However, as in most journeys, it is never easy to obtain what one seeks, and is this case, they have to face 12 people who each possess and protect these swords.

Katanagatari's graphics may be little bit childish but still its popularity hits most of the anime associated with games. But it has far better characterization than most of other anime.


Overall score is 7/10: It is good for viewers who are like RPG games.
