Triangle Anime and Manga Review: Spring 2021 Depressing Time Travel Anime

This week on the Triangle anime and manga review Ozzy and Logan start off by discussing the anime subreddit ratings of this season's anime. Logan takes beef with most of the ratings, but maybe that's the alcohol talking.

 

Then we review the anime 86 (17:05), a mecha anime that touches on some difficult and uncomfortable topics. Topics like racism, child soldiers, genocide, and other great subject matters. Ozzy highlights the highpoints of the series while Logan struggles with the negative outlook the anime presents.

 

We then go into Tokyo Revengers (32:05), a time travel story about a nobody in his current timeline, sent back to his youth as a delinquent in an attempt to correct many problems facing him and his friends in the future. An interesting story with many twists and turns. 

 

Then Ozzy and Logan discuss Higehero (47:05) a complicated story about an older male taking in an underage girl off the street to live with him. While both Ozzy and Logan enjoy the idealism of the story, they also struggle with some of the real world implications and complications that accompany such a story.

 

Finally we review Vivy - Fluorite Eye's Song (1:01:48) A beautifully drawn sci-fi epic about an idol A.I. teaming up with a program from the future to help prevent a robot apocalypse. The highlight of the season thus far.

 

For Manga, Ozzy gives his opinion on The Duke of Death and His Black Maid (1:21:57) and discusses how it compares to Don't Tease Me Nagataro. Our Recommended manga for next week is Frieren at the Funeral, a story about the elf in the hero party who outlives her companions after the end of their journey. After the end of one journey, she begins another journey of self-discovery.
