They introduced some of the main characters, but more are coming.
Ishura explores a fantasy world with dragons and mecha elements.
Ishura started airing a bit over a week ago, on January 3, and with the two episodes that have been released, the series is already looking promising.
Ishura explores the world when the death of the Demon King created a power vacuum, and right now the series is working on introducing characters that will do something about it. Manga readers promise the anime to be a somewhat battle royale where there isn’t actually one main protagonist.
There are a lot of characters to be introduced
The first season of the anime is listed for 12 episodes, and we don’t know yet if each of them will focus on one particular character, but it’s fair to suggest that at least half of the season will, considering the number of characters that were mentioned in the first episode.
The first two episodes focused on Soujirou the Willow-Sword and Alus the Star Runner, and judging by the name of the next one, it’ll be about Dakai the Magpie and Regnejee the Wings of Sunset.
This introduction of characters remind fans of FromSoftware games a lot, so if playing Dark Souls or Elden Ring is your thing, there’s a high chance you’ll enjoy Ishura’s vibe a lot.
The series has something for every taste
The episodes also seem to have different settings, and if the first one made you think of the mecha genre because of all those frightening machines, the second one has dragons. So if fantasy worlds with magic creatures and robots do it for you, Ishura is a good choice of anime.
The Game of Thrones style of not having just one protagonist is also something that makes the series stand out. There are various interesting characters, and only you decide who to root for.
The cruelty of the world might be off-putting for some, but we think that it only increases the impact of Ishura. Why care about the story, if there are no stakes? And Ishura gives you this exciting feeling of danger.
The only worry for now is that if the entire season focuses on all the characters’ introduction, then we might not see the battle royale this year, and will have to wait for the sequel. This would be truly disappointing, but some fans think that the introduction part will be over in a couple more episodes, and we’ll get to the real stuff after that.
You shouldn’t be sleeping on this series.
