Onihei Episode 1: Tanbei of Chigashira

This is not a show for everyone. It's slow, grim, and violent. The animation is rough. But there's something about it that's really compelling. The classic detective format is unique for anime, and Heizo is a genuinely interesting character.Heizo releases Kumehachi and sends him to find the real Tanbei . When Kumehachi finds him, it's heartbreaking.

The first episode had a dark, gritty atmosphere that pulled me in right away. It took its time setting everything up, but the mystery kept me interested the whole way through. I liked how it slowly built the tension, and the little moment at the end was a nice touch. I'd definitely recommend giving it a watch if you're into slower-paced crime dramas.

Un primer episodio de este anime en el que se asienta el tono que tendrá durante todos los episodios: un tono serio, maduro y brutal. No es un anime para todos, ya que lo rodea una atmosfera adulta y cargada de crueldad y "gore". Pero además invita a reflexionar sobre el peso del poder y la justicia, y otras temáticas filosóficas. Quizás lo negativo del episodio haya sido el apartado visual y la animación que se ve rara por momentos al animar a los personajes en 3D.
