Felt a bit odd for SUMMER 2015, both because my incapability of having sufficient storage for store my anime and losing touch of anime series on that season. I managed to just download few series, just several that I decided to try on and this was my #1 choice [六花の勇者 / Rokka: Braves of The Six Flowers]. So far what I know about Passione studio which is on duty for Rokka no Yuusha series, was also produced Rail Wars! series. Let's see how satisfying Rokka no Yuusha as my #1 choice for enlightening my day-off that time.

“Legends say that when demons awaken from the depths of darkness, and turn the world into a living hell, the Goddess of Fate will select six heroes and give them the power to save the world.
It is always six that are chosen. And for this reason, they are known as the Braves of the Six Flowers.”
[something spoiler] I wish that there's no romance such Adlet and Flamie is going on. I felt so weird watching scenes when Adlet told his feelings to Flamie. It would be better if Adlet keep it or rather adore Flamie by her willing to survive and be kind even if her harsh personality remains. However, I can't deny too, if I like Flamie when she is being more human at heart, and her smiling is drowning me so deep to her personality.
"The strongest man in the world isn't the type who can leave one of his own when they're in trouble. So I've decided to save you!" [Adlet, 3rd ep] This self-esteem of Adlet by being the strongest somehow tickles my ears— irritated. He barks about it a lot with the same rocked-spirit no matter how wrecked he is in some situations, getting on the edge, and wrecked. |
The opening made me think that it would be a rock out show with hard-to-deal opponent as the ending. It wasn’t like that actually or I should say it wasn’t reach that step within 12 eps. The studio gave no option for us but to follow the characters’ mindblowing problem put in there. When you’re accustomed to see the end of action, fantasy/supernatural story with a bombastic ending like nice strategies, a long wait til main characters show off their hidden abilities in a long time concealment, or even death of several characters (then exhale “phew” in an amusement)—those are all still kept by the studio. The show attains my attention with its attempt to lead us differently from other common shows focusing on letting fire break out. For few eps, the Heroes are quarreling about the seventh/fake Hero’s identity and to eliminate her/him. Worthless battles in such cruelty sometimes made me speechless with fury like ‘why bother much wasting time with lame logic. Let’s hit the hay and gimme something to amaze within 12 eps’. However, I did never imagine that method to amaze me enough, I commence to plead for knowing the logic reason behind the catastrophe of fake Heroes. How does the seal manage to appear for seven persons? It isn't a painting or tattoo, right? What if the Goddess of Fate power is no longer pure and the fiend successfully interrupt its progress to pick Yuusha? Stay out patiently til the end of the show, for watching the arguments willy-nilly made me find out deeper about each characters. Focusing more for one to two characters, I could relate why it succeed to bring up the explanation more about other characters’ storylife. We could get more knowledge about how the characters think and act according to their reasoning. But it wasn't good enough to amuse someone who has a need of battle tense or even be a disgusting show by much talk here as well as an impression from the visualization of Rokka no Yuusha series. It’s nice enough and nothing to brag about thoroughly. I would wish it could be much better. I mark few scenes when Adlet nicely pictured using several tools as offense and defense method. I think this show production was expensive after I realized it had many theme songs. For short series (12 eps) and few changes for both OP and ED songs, I guessed it was a waste. Basically, "a waste" by my opinion happens due to its lack of charm. These theme songs aren't satisfied enough, average and there's below average. I couldn't enjoy the music, I couldn't get the beat related to the tension of the show. It was sufficient to stay for background of the theme songs (scenes when theme song is playing on scene). Two OP songs are Cry for the Truth by MICHI, Black Swallowtail by UROBOROS. Then, three ED theme songs are Secret Sky by MICHI, Dance in the Fake by Nachetanya (Yoko Hikasa), and Nameless Heart by Fremy (Aoi Yuuki). It can be way livelier with battle scenes, I hope for more worthy battles if there will be 2nd season. It is good enough by unexpected story and how far logic is using here for now. I give 5.5 for rate. Pros:

"Adlet...
You...
You are a kind person, aren't you?
Don't point your kindness toward me.
It makes me want to kill you." [Flamie, 3rd ep]
