already?, ok then.
Katanagatari is a series something special. To start this divided into 12 chapters of 50 minutes duration issued / purchased monthly rate, so more than one anime to use, it could consider a set of OVAs. On the other hand we have the artistic section, quite unusual: bright colors, unrealistic characters, little detailed faces, etc. .. Halfway between a children's series and the illustrations TRADICONAL Ukio-e. Something like:
Plot:
is certainly not the strong point of the series, could be summarized as: "a jug of years ago a nut forged the 12 most powerful swords evah, the characters have to collect them defeating their current owners." And now this.
course there is much more fundamental, the government needs the sword for X and Y but then is not it, that if betrayals between clans, that if one's personal history, the mysterious origin of swords and smith, etc. ..
But as I say all this is background, and end all that matters is TRAVEL and character development (especially of Shichika)
Characters:
We arrived at one of the strengths of the production. Basically all the weight of the series lies around the main couple
Shichika Yasuri: 24 years, 7th Kyotōryuu heir style. Since his father died, will make about 20, has lived with his sister on an island "empty" without any contact with the outside world, practicing their art. The Kyotōryuu is a unique style in the world of art of the sword, since it is the only one who does NOT use Katana or weapon of any kind. So, is Shichicka is a swordsman without a sword, let's say your body It is a sword (not literally).
Togama: this lady of undetermined age, is a strategist who works for the government. Collecting swords has been its mission for years, but both ended up Ninjas and Samurais Betrayed (either by the monetary value of the weapons, or the honor of possessing them.) There is no kind of skill or physical strength, although a great intelligence. Reaches Shichika Island in search of a reliable partner who does not work nor honor, nor for money
Other than that, there are some really interesting characters, Indeed much of the grace of the series is irlos discovering (or re-discovering, and some are not so appear) as the plot progresses. So I prefer not to go much into detail about them. The only but perhaps put it Maniwani Ninjas, a group of "elite" that are disguised as animals and have the most freak techniques. They basically the role of Team Rocket, but in the end they were just taking baby ...
Development
1 chapter -> 1st Espada . Simple no? therefore not so much as it seems. This series has the ability to OWNEARTE when you least expect it. As I said before the series is a journey full of surprises. Some swords and characters are really unique and never leave indifferent. Despite this, the long duration of the chapters weight, and sometimes banal conversations between the protagonists can get to become heavy (especially in the early chapters), but then those moments are outweighed by the always spectacular action with enough animation remarkable and intense combat, and some originals.
Special mention to the final half hour. EPIC is so that just because she is worth swallowing the entire series.
Conclusion
Katanagatari not go down in history its "depth" (although the picture seen this anime lately) but it is a good action series, very entertaining and, most importantly, original. Their only real drawback is the length of the episodes, almost double that of a set standard, but other than that is the perfect series to unwind and do something different. Some of his characters are you going to remember for a long time.
Cheriiio!
