Any other fans of this in here? It seems to have a passionate following of the people that have heard of it before. I went into it blind due to good ratings on MAL and lived it right away.
It follows an ex soldier and an indigenous girl in Hokkaido. They’re after a lost fortune in gold, and they only clues are contained in the mysterious tattoos of a group of escaped killers.
Also after the treasure is a rogue group of soldiers and a band of martial artists, along with some of the other killers, mob bosses, and others.
You get to learn a lot of week researched facts about the native people and their customs, history of Hokkaido and Sakhalin. And to lighten the mood, there are a ton of if gags, slapstick, sex and toilet humor, whacky versions of historical figures, and some occasional random sexy/funny male fan service. It has it all!
And fear not! The manga is complete and the last season of anime which has been simul-dubbed is in production of the final season, so it’s ready for anyone to dive in.
I’ve watched pretty much the whole thing in Crunchyroll. I really like the beginning. It’s kind of dragging on and getting boring for me now. But maybe that’s just because I ran out of episodes and came back.
I still like and recommend it. I can’t wait for the ending.
Yes, there is so much good stuff left, if they’re only doing one more season, it should be almost non-stop action. Everyone has some great fights coming up that I can’t wait to see adapted. I thought all the characters except one had solid endings to their stories. You should enjoy it if you’ve stuck with it this far.
