Doctor is a sociopath purely interested in selfish gains. Brawler is a moron which inhuman endurance. Courier eviscerates people dispassionately with his killer motorcycle. Here, our protagonists are all blatantly criminals and revel in it. At least in The Great Pretender, the show paints our protagonists as Robin Hood-esque heroes. It’s not dissimilar from The Great Pretender, but here the creators don’t even attempt to hide how dangerous and ruthless our protagonists are. When you break it down into its smallest components, Akudama Drive starts off as a heist thriller. Needless to say, getting a group of dangerous, egomaniacal criminals together to commit a crime is a recipe for absolutely nothing going wrong, and our ordinary girl, pretending to be an Akudama named Swindler, won’t get discovered and executed by the Akudamas themselves or the Executioners hunting them down. What that package is, isn’t explained to them, just to do it and they’ll get paid handsomely. Five Akudama were hired by a robot cat to steal a package set to travel to Kanto. An ordinary girl encounters one of the more infamous Akudama, known as Courier, which inadvertently leads to her having to interact with a group of deadly Akudama. The people of Kansai have been subjugated by the people of the neighboring prefecture Kanto and criminals, known as Akudama, are causing chaos in the streets of Kansai.
AKUDAMA DRIVE SERIES
The series begins in the city of Kansai in a dystopian future. That’s right, the Danganronpa team is back in a Quentin Tarantino-like cyberpunk thrill ride. Aka, the creator of the massively successful Danganronpa franchise, one of my favorite video game series. Because of this, the main man behind the series, and one of the founders of Too Kyo Games, is Kazutaka Kodaka. Those ideas are then picked up and developed by other studios or companies. From what I can gather, they function sort of like an IP creating company that pitch ideas. Akudama Drive was imagined by fledging new video games company called Too Kyo Games. However, the series is more associated with another company. Studio Pierrot, who are known for their Shonen titles like Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Naruto, are the ones responsible for animating it. Established franchises are just safer, but Akudama Drive is anything but safe.Īkudama Drive is also unique in that it’s a production between two vastly different studios. Original productions, on the other hand, are complete wild cards that may strike a homerun or fail miserably.
When the options are between reproducing or recreating an established series, even if the results would be diminishing and it might not get a huge crowd, at least there’s the guarantee that it will get a crowd. Then again original ideas are becoming all too rare in most media regardless. Original anime productions are a rarity in the anime industry. How can I properly convey just how insane of a ride it is? And I don’t mean insane as in “how is this even functional.” Rather “this should not be as good as it is” insane.
AKUDAMA DRIVE HOW TO
In that month, I’ve been trying hard to figure out exactly how to approach a series like Akudama Drive. I said it would be getting a Weeb Analysis of its own because I had way too much to talk about that couldn’t be contained to just a few measly paragraphs. It was the winner of my Most Underrated Anime of 2020 award and I emphatically praised it.
