The Survivor haven't save the world ..yet; Ningen Fushin season one episode final
The group of survivors has resting for a while; taking break after their last battle with the stepping man. The last incident somehow drains their spirit with the passing of Nalgarva and the sudden appearance of the white mask. As an episode go, this one is barely the last episode with actions and an emotional drama and more like a full 24 minutes of an ending like anime sequence. It's like a full closure episode and while it's definitely not the end of story for it intends to be, I can't guarantee that this anime will have another adaptation in the future as there is also rumor that the original work is also halted (well I am hoping that it may has strong followers that it may continue one day).
Nick and Agate somehow meet again once more when she is waiting for the rain to subside just below his apartment. At first, Nick is quite shocked seeing her just waiting for the rain just below his room. She gets drenched due to the heavy rain but then Nick gives her a way to keep dry ; by holding a top of an umbrella just from his window. Agate really surprised that once again she Mets with Mr Lost puppy by chance. In addition, she finally take the first step to ask Nick's real identity since as far as she knows, she only names him Mr lost puppy; one of her loyal fan. Nevertheless, Nick; who seems that his traumatic past to his ex-girlfriend still linger on him, prefers to know Agate more as an unreachable idol than getting to know her more as a woman names Belle. It's a bit disappoinment for the shipper that he doesn't want to say his name; meaning that their relation won't develop further than an idol and a fan. Well, it seems that their relationship status is on halt and whether they will develop further on the next season (if there any), will be revealed later.
Once upon a time, your father hold umbrella just above your mom😂 still a better love story than a certain vampire 🤣 |
As story goes, life has been quite slow and mundane for the survivor members after the defeat of the white mask. Zem has been continuing Mr galvarha's service to the people in Garbage collection; giving free medical support to the town people. Tiana is usually gambling in the horse race stadium and regardless of her winning or losing the bet, she feels nothing about it as if the excitement had been long gone. Meanwhile, Nick remembers the time when his parents bring him to the labyrinth town for the first time and how his previous mentors; turn out to be his uncle, trains him rigorously to be a legit adventurer. The survivor still met together occasionally yet, even Curran who usually greet the other members cheerfully knows that they're re currently in the edge of boredom and somehow lifeless.
There is still a positive thing in this episode as it generally focuses the story back to the four original members of Survivors. Here we can see how Curran feels she still haven't move on from Kalios and the white helan (her previous group) compared to her team mates. Her memories of him makes her able to help another young half-beast young lady (who is about to get scammed by the same merchant that tricked her before :) ). Zem's volunteer work gives him experience to be well liked by the people in Garbage collection. Nick's backstory when being trained as an adventurer since young has been given to us; the viewers, and his origin for being a determined individual is further explained.
So basically she means that her news is fake..how can they save the world based on fake information??🤔 |
The last part of the episode is kind of ambiguous though..Olivia comes to the survivor with a news about the black market that may closely related to the white mask. However, all of her news is more or less a self made fake writing to gain more viewers and she even admits it. So, it's a bit confusing with the ending part as they plans to find Curran's stolen dragon gem that may have been sold to the black market yet they still haven't got the real lead about it's whereabout. A sudden fireworks in the background shows how the new year has starts and it somehow rekindles their spirit back. The credit rolls; showing the casts of Fushin Ningen continuing their life. It is truly a sweet ending despite of their journey still haven't finished, no world haven't saved yet, and their next step is vague and as thick as foggiest morning.
Final Verdict
It's not easy to determine whether this series gonna be is a decent hit or not due to the amount of rivalries from many animes for the current season. It has a good point on developing the casts as it gives plenty of minutes to make them grow. The focus on some of the secondary characters is good; particularly: Leon, Agate, and Claudine. On the other hand, I can notice some part of the animations are kinda rough around the edge as if they are made with a limited budgeting (maybe that is true :) ) The fighting animations is just.. decent and many areas need a touch up because the time for action is way less than the characters' interaction and backstory. The plot starts to be more serious in the 10 and 11 episode but at the very last episode, they slow the tempo down and suddenly make it anticlimax as if it is the last episode of the whole season (with the big bad still roaming free😆). Alas I know despite lot of cons in the anime, like the setting absurdity ( come on🤔 a horse racing stadium and the ruin/temple that has the layout of a Japanese's train subway in an adventure Isekai setting 😂); it still has its emotional moment though and the ending did makes a good closure despite of no real probability about the series continuation.
Pros
+ Just like the song says..it's all about bond and relation
+ Secondary character gets development here as well as the main characters.. so they are balanced in proportion
+ The casts grow over time as we started to get them well
cons
- The animation had rough edge in some part
- The setting can be non sensical at times (🤔somehow still undecided if it's cons or just "original")
- The battle scene is not that exciting
In my humble opinion, the first season of Fushin Ningen is around 6,5 to 7 in my own personal score.
