Anime Spotlight - Donten Ni Warau
This was a fun little anime, not as good as I wanted it to be as it dropped in the middle but ended on a high.
The plot is In 1868, the Meiji Restoration occurred. Because of this, the country faced many criminals, such as samurai rebelling against their fallen positions. Many were arrested, but they soon broke out of their jail cells and rampaged across Japan. Therefore, the government did their best to prevent this by building a giant prison in the middle of Lake Biwa. However, to get these criminals to the prison, they needed a form of transport. In this way, the Kumō brothers were given the responsibility to take these criminals to their final resting place.
There’s more to it than that with one of the brothers destined to be the vessel of an ancient evil and a secret evil ninja clan and a government conspiracy all in here. I wish it had been a bit stronger and better paced as there are some great ideas and story in here but a lot of wasted time. I did like the characters and would have liked some more interaction and back history on some of them. There’s good action and nice animation but it left me wanting a bit more from it.
