SYNOPSIS

An apocalyptic event has ravaged Japan, leaving nothing but endless sandy plains
behind, and a strange rusting disease terrorizes the remnants of civilization.
According to the government, the horrific state of the new world is the result
of mushroom spores being spread by the likes of Bisco Akaboshi, labeled the
"Man-Eating Mushroom."

But Bisco would beg to differ. In reality, he is a "Mushroom Protector,"
determined to uncover the legendary "Sabikui" mushroom—said to be the ultimate
cure for the rusting disease. Joining him on his quest are his giant crab
Akutagawa and the kind doctor Milo Nekoyanagi, who is actively searching for a
rust poisoning treatment for his sick sister. Despite the prejudice aimed toward
him by the common folk, Bisco refuses to give up on his quest to purify the
rotting world.

Another unique story with an interesting setting and cool art squandered by bad
writing and shitty animation.

The first real scene takes place at a border crossing. The officer manning the
checkpoint is making small talk with a man who’s trying to pass through, and
both men are looking at a wanted poster. The wanted poster features a man with
unmistakable red hair and green eyes wielding a green bow and arrow. The man
trying to pass through is suspiciously covered from head to toe in rags, and he
even wrapped his face. However, his eyes are visible, and they’re green. He’s
also carrying a green ... bow and arrow on his back in a way that is clearly
visible from the front. The officer mentions how the checkpoint they’re standing
at is the “last line of defense” against escaped prisoners and criminals, and he
literally says, “You never know when any of the bounties posted there [on the
wanted board] might try to come through.” The officer asks the traveler his
name, and he responds with something that doesn’t sound like a real name. When
pressed on this, he admits it’s not his real name, and while he makes a flimsy
excuse about being a monk (which even the lazy border guard finds odd, since
monks apparently don’t travel this way very often), he is—in real terms—openly
hiding his identity. While the officer makes arrangements for the man to pass
through anyway, he continues musing about the man on the poster, describing his
green bow and arrow and how dangerous it is. “No need to worry, though,” he
says, “No villain’s ever gotten past the unrivaled Gunma Watch.” The mechanic
finally fixes the gate, and the officer proceeds to let the man pass. It’s only
until after the man flashes his weapon and openly admits to carrying A TRUCKLOAD
OF DEAD BODIES, the officer finally realizes what you realized six sentences
ago. If you don’t see why this is so astronomically retarded, then you’ve either
been living under a rock since September 11th, 2001, or you yourself are the
writer of Sabikui Bisco.

The writing, pacing, and editing of this whole show just feels slightly off.
Perhaps some level of amateurishness should be expected since this director has
never helmed a TV anime before, and he’s helming it at a first-time studio no
less, but either way, it’s simply not well adapted. I don’t want this review to
contain any major spoilers, so let me dissect some more of episode one. The
first episode can be summed up as follows: post-apocalypse where terrorists
fight with giant magic mushrooms, red man shows up at the gate, blue man is a
doctor and gets harassed by corrupt city governor, city governor has to stop
harassing blue man because red man breaks into the city and wrecks shit. At the
very end of the episode after all this action had taken place, a cute girl with
pink hair is thrown at the feet of the governor who looks like he’s angry with
her. When I first watched the episode, this was a really confusing sequence,
because as you can tell by my lovely synopsis, this girl wasn’t in the episode
up until that point. After skimming back through the episode, I figured it out,
but the context was so muddled, no one unfamiliar with the source material
would’ve been able to keep track of what actually happened. You see, the way
this episode was structured is actually kinda clever—or at least it would’ve
been clever had they done it in a way that wasn’t so confusing. The scene I
described in the first paragraph where red man, Bisco, shows up at the gate and
talks to the border security officer actually takes place over the course of the
entire episode, which cuts back and forth between the afternoon hours where that
scene takes place to the evening hours where we’re introduced to blue man, Milo.
By the end of the episode, it’s clear that Bisco broke though the gate during
the afternoon, and by the time the sun had gone down, he had fought past the
city’s security and started wrecking shit in the city at night.

This double timeline, in and of itself, isn’t confusing. What’s confusing is the
director doesn’t seem to understand that for the viewer to comprehend it, they
need some sort of anchor to let them know what timeline they’re watching. In
this case, there’s two natural anchors: the time of day and the character being
focused on. The viewer implicitly understands that if the sun is up and Bisco is
on screen, we’re in timeline one, and if the sun is down and Milo is on screen,
we’re in timeline two. Going by this logic, the viewer will have seen enough of
the scene described in the first paragraph to know how it resolves by the end of
the episode, so when Bisco shows up at night, it’s not confusing since you know
exactly how he got from timeline one to timeline two: he revealed his identity
to the border security guard and fought his way though to the city. Makes sense,
right? So how does the girl with pink hair, Tirol, factor in to all of this?
Well, in the middle of the episode, it randomly cuts to a scene with Bisco at
night, thusly challenging the logic of the double timeline and making it so
you’re not quite sure when this scene takes place. He’s getting shot at by a
gunship piloted by someone wearing a bunny mask, he shoots their missiles out of
the sky with his bow, and then you see a giant fucking lobster, because why not?
Apparently, the person in that bunny mask was Tirol, and the reason you see her
at the end of the episode getting thrown at the feet of the governor is that she
works for him, was supposed to protect the city from people like Bisco with the
gunship, and failed to do so. By that point, you’ve seen all the governor’s
henchman wearing bunny masks, but you see the scene with Tirol in the gunship
BEFORE you see the governor or any of his other bunny-masked henchmen to
establish their shared uniform, so unless you recognized the voice actress, that
gunship scene is complete nonlinear nonsense.

To me, that scene was the first of many red flags, and the series proceeded to
be just as jumbled as episode one. So far, this review has been extremely
meticulous, and I doubt many people are still reading this trash, but if you
are, then you’ve probably been wondering, “Post-apocalypse? Giant Mushrooms?
Giant lobsters? Bunny masks? What the hell is going on in this show?” And that’s
a really good fucking question. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but Sabikui Bisco is
dumb. It’s a stupid show. I really want to give it credit for being unique, but
that’s like giving credit to The Last Jedi because it “subverted your
expectations.” Yes, this show has a lot of stuff in it that you don’t see every
day, but it doesn’t really do anything with any of its concepts. To repurpose a
great Hyouka quote, it’s as unpracticed as it is trying to be different. The
character designs are by the same guy who did the designs for Id:Invaded, and
while they look just as good, they looked so similar that I couldn’t stop
comparing this show to that one, and the comparisons weren’t flattering.
Id:Invaded was an incredibly creative, surprisingly sentimental, and
fascinatingly weird show that honestly would’ve been my favorite anime of 2020
if it wasn’t for its subpar animation. It’s not often a show with such a shoddy
production can make me laugh, cry, and everything in between, but Id:Invaded did
exactly that. I could shower that show with praise all day, but you get the
point: the fact it was fifty times more bizarre than even Sabikui Bisco didn’t
stop it from being a phenomenal anime. Sabikui Bisco definitely shares some of
its weirdness, but it’s not Otarō Maijō weirdness where you can tell there’s
clearly some thematic point being made. It’s just haphazard nonsense. Ideally,
the show would then be carried by the strength of its characters, but if not for
the shitty animation, the characters would unfortunately be the worst thing
about the show.

For a show with such odd concepts and such an odd setting, the characters
couldn’t be any more generic. Bisco is a forgettable, uninspiring Mary Sue who
you can’t empathize with at all; Pawoo, Bisco’s adversary, only considers him an
enemy thanks to some cheap misunderstanding constructed for the sole purpose of
making your two “good guys” fight each other while still being morally
righteous; Jabi, the old man, is the same father figure moral compass you’ve
seen a thousand times in every shounen anime ever; and Milo literally feels like
the protagonist from Yuri!!! On Ice. I’m serious. He is SUCH a cookie-cutter BL
protagonist, it’s not even funny. From the niche talent which the love interest
needs to rely on him for, to the bangs and effeminate body-type, Milo embodies
every BL protagonist trope in the book. Sabikui Bisco is set in a
post-apocalyptic world where Japan has been reduced to a desert wasteland filled
with giant mutated monsters and eccentric marauders running around causing
trouble. It’s never made particularly clear how the world actually got like this
aside from the Akira-style cold open where we see Tokyo getting nuked, but
somehow and over some period of time, the population has reforged civilization
and modern cities have been rebuilt, so the world that could’ve been really cool
and interesting? Yeah, it’s just dilapidated Tokyo in the desert. The plotline
ultimately turns out to be a nothing burger as well. Bisco is labeled a
terrorist because he uses the giant magic mushrooms, and the giant magic
mushrooms cause everyone to be infected by the Ruin from Casshern Sins. However,
it turns out the mushrooms actually cure the Ruin and Bisco was the good guy all
along. And this totally-not-utterly-predictable reveal comes in episode fucking
two. In a single word, the show just feels deflated, and it reenforces the
style-over-substance feeling you get from the weird concepts.

If click and drag animation was an Olympic Sport, this show would be a gold
fucking medalist. Let’s say you’re an animation studio and you need to animate
people riding giant hippos or giant iguanas, but you don’t have the time or
talent to do so. If you’re Studio OZ, the solution seems to be simply drawing a
single frame and then dragging it up and down. What about having to animate
giant mushrooms that grow out of thin air? Just layer the foreground and
background such that you can draw a single frame of a fully grown mushroom and
pull it out from behind the layer. You know? Just like Shichiro Kobayashi did on
cels in the fucking 1970s before they even had computers. What about having to
animate giant lobsters from multiple angles so you can’t do what you did with
the hippos and iguanas? Just use CG that looks worse than the giant roaches from
Mystérique Sign, an episode which aired in 2006. The character art looks
fantastic (when the drawings are actually on-model), but otherwise the show
looks totally wooden. The soundtrack is decent, but it doesn’t take long for it
to start feeling like half-baked, wannabe Taku Iwasaki music. The direction is
generally unimaginative, and it unsuccessfully tries to rely on the wackiness of
the imagery to make up for the fact the cinematography is nothing special. This
could’ve worked if the artwork and animation were stunning on their own, but as
we’ve already established, that isn’t the case at all. The inconsistent
background art certainly doesn’t help either, especially when they had such
unique settings to work with. I really wanted to like this show, and maybe a
3/10 is too harsh and I'm just being a dumb bitch, but no amount of random
bullshit can excuse—let alone untangle—such a mess of an anime. If you’re bored
and just want to watch something weird and different, then by all means, watch
Sabikui Bisco, but if you’re looking for a legitimately good show, then I’m
afraid you’ll have to look somewhere else.

Thank you for reading.

Before reading id recommend Watching the trailer, and you'd immediately know
whether it's a hit or a miss for you.I can confirm the Soundtrack in the anime
is on the same level. this is one of those few times that a trailer is so good
that it gives you a proper taste of what's to come and also hype you up for it
Sabikui Bisco is a sleeper hit shounen BUT,
The final few episodes proved it is STILL a SHOUNEN anime :” D

Now, Let me bring up my fucking shounen chart

Worldbuilding — probably the best in a very long time
Power ... up with screamfest? —less
Plot armor? —more than kirito
Nakama no chikara (power of friendship?) —naruto will be proud
Generic power system world and MC starts weak? —no
Main rival? —none
Teacher? —nope
Waifu? — God tier and also legal!


So it is clearly a min-max build xD

A lot of annoying shounen tropes are cut off but the others that are present
have a power level beyond 9000!

For those who aren't keen on that please stick around and read the rest.

This anime has the best-built world out of any anime in 2022 so far ….

Machine gun hippos, giant shrooms, slug planes, giant rod wielding hot woman :3.
Arrows that sprouts giant mushrooms, suited up mafia with a bunny mascot
headgear. And what's worth it is, everything fits right in due to how much of a
struggle life is due to the rust wind people adapt, they learn new tricks they
change and
am sure the modern comfy world would never allow a slug plane XD.

But for the first project of a new anime studio (even tho they have some great
people working there), this seems rather promising, I cant wait to see what else
they have in store for us!

The world of sabikui Bisco is really well done so much so that my trash taste in
anime wants to even call it a fit for the isekai world. The Post-apocalyptic
theme is mostly downplayed by many animes but here, you can tell every day is a
struggle to survive, people literally rusting o death, eating what they can
find, getting addicted to weird mushrooms, and children wielding weapons just to
protect themselves. It's dark, depressing, and full of mystery and yet life
finds a way to thrive and so do humans. The music in this anime is really
amazing the person who chose and composed the music needs a raise, the music
fits so well to the half-dead fallen world which rusts away literally and is
magical and sometimes hallucinating levels of weird shit happening all around
(the author was probably on drugs).


I’ll get straight into the rating since I want to keep the viewing experience as
unspoiled as possible.


Plot (7/10)
Well, it's kind of a generic shounen start, adventure begins to find something
(this time it ain't one piece, it's the cure to rust wind). The weakest part of
the plot is probably that one asspull that happened, but that will depend on
tolerance for that kind of thing. but it certainly has a sense of familiarity
when one thinks of other shounen shows.

Characters (8/10)
Milo and Bisco are like JOBROS level of bro story, MIlo may seem annoying at
times but he does change for the better towards the middle and the end, Bisco is
goddamn best boi something along the lines of a good tsundere guy who isn't
flustered at being nice but is just not very used to people,Pawoo develops
really well towards the end after everything is cleared up. Tsuda kenjiro and
kurokawa are a perfect match (those who know do send FR). jabi and the kids also
have a pretty good personality.



Sound and VA(10/10)
The Best I have seen out of any new release, Op is a straight banger, the
rumbling is a great blessing to rock fans this will make them cream their
pants.ED is JOBRO the ending 100% that is totally the vibe any Jojo fan will
feel. Tsuda Kenjiro is totally the best VA one can pick for anti-hero or fucked
up villain there is no contention in that regard. The VA of Pawoo was also a
great and unique voice, it totally helps reflect her strength and confidence and
the rest of the characters didn't stand out that much but are great nonetheless.

Art and animation (9/10)
The Art is so really good, (only akebi chan has a realistic chance of beating
it, but it wouldn't be fair since the tone is different for both) although it
loses some points in animation, the art is absolutely gorgeous and immediately
makes it clear that this is a post-apocalyptic world. The dead tetsujin statue
being repurposed into a living space, dark and wild plants that grow and evolve
to fight the new environment they find themselves in, a dull but alive city that
barely holds on to hope, it's perfect.


A must watch if you loved the trailer, it's surely great to see a new idea being
executed this well, it had way more potential IMO but I must say this is still
one of the best this season, by all means, Do not let the mediocre score waver
you and definitely give it 3 episodes to let it sink in. at the very least, do
watch the trailer.

In most shows I've reviewed, I primarily focus on the enjoyment and aspects that
I noticed when I watched the show. If the show has terrible characters, then I
would state that, if it has sluggish animation, I would say that too. However,
most of that is put in particular aspects in which anything referring to art
would be talked about the artistic backgrounds and designs of our characters.

For this particular case, I want to make a different approach to this anime
called Sabikui Bisco and make a full-fledged review, vastly different from what
I have written. Without further ado, time to start.

"I love you."

Ah ... yes, Sabikui Bisco. When I first looked at the trailer, I thought I was
promised an intriguing world filled with mysteries and bizarre details that
caused the world they lived into oblivion. The characters had unique designs and
stand out, the soundtrack was also quite bizarre, which took a while for me to
settle, but I found it to be quite fitting. If I were to remember, I rewatched
the preview about 10 different times, becoming one of my anticipated shows this
Winter. As I have said, I was hoping for an enriched apocalyptic world that had
something to show other than its competitors. Unfortunately, I am filled with
sheer disappointment as every episode that came out, it was getting worse the
more I looked at it.

First, we must talk about the story, the synopsis of the story unravels about a
post-apocalyptic Tokyo after being poisoned by the plague-like wind of rust.
From the first sentence, it's already a problem. Rust is supposedly a reaction
that only happens to anything that is mostly pure metal, which the show is also
derived from, which led me flabbergasted, as such a thing would never exist to
infect innocent people and usurp people's lives. But hey, it's all fiction, why
should it matter if the author decides to make rust a plague? It is an issue
because there are plenty of things that I feel like that are overlooked by the
author when he made this. If such a thing called rust wind exists, then people
who are venturing are not wearing armour that is resistant to rust, which I'm
not seeing here. Why aren't the people using metal sacrifice to protect
themselves from rust? Does the show has never heard of the term
'electroplating'? I believe all the chemist professionals happened to die on
that day.

It's not only the fact that it's severely illogical in terms of its setting but
how the author decided to introduce a cure right off the bat that can supposedly
'eat' rust, which then again is just a way to turn it into a prophecy. The
approach of having a certain cure where there are already things proven to
prevent corrosion of metal or even the show's main threat, rust is beyond me. I
could not believe it myself.

Enough about the stupid lore, now the story. The story is without a doubt
inconsistent and convoluted. In the first few episodes, I was not liking how the
show was reluctant on showing us the action, one of the things I was highly
expecting. Their exposition of dialogue bored me to death until the last few
minutes when something actually happens. A mushroom spawner can make himself fly
because, for some reason, it can launch him and grow instantly without any
withdrawal symptoms from it. They both met and decided to find the rare
'Sabikui', a mushroom that will cure the doctor's sister's disease that has
plagued her body.

Then, when the first few episodes were finally over, it decided to turn into an
adventure between a goody-two-shoes doctor and a screaming archer who don't know
where they are heading. From what I can discern from that part, the show shows
more interest in going for anything that suits the current tone of the story, no
matter how inconsistent and stupid it is. I was genuinely furious when Episode 9
came along, like the author thought he was doing good writing by having us
shocked but ended up making more plot conveniences than Dragon Ball Z, a show
notorious for its story stretching further because of abundant plot
conveniences. The show was so focused on finishing the story it started,
everything felt rushed the moment Milo decided to assault the main villain.

My next point is about art. There's not much to say about it honestly. The
characters from an artistic point are not that bad but their art backgrounds
don't practically stand out much. But I realise that the stupid mushrooms
spawning out from Bisco's arrows was getting on my nerves as if those are the
only things he can do other than screaming and sometimes being a motivational
guy when the time is convenient. What had me legitimately done was the Iron
Titan, which happened to be the ugliest thing I have seen made in CGI, in which
I do not hate CGI animations whatsoever, but damn, I remember the Titan is more
disgusting than it being a dangerous threat.

Now to the characters, let's say that I was not quite fond of the characters in
this show. Their choice of dialogue is so awkward and edgy most of the time.
Character development seemed to be forced for the sake of the plot. The villain
of the story sounds threatening but was nothing more than a side villain who
completely sucks. Kurokawa was as uninteresting as he was annoying, who existed
only to make the main character die, yes indeed it happened.

A prime example of that is Milo, whose personality takes a 180 during the last
few episodes after portraying himself as a well-mannered, compassionate and
determined person, decided to be like his counterpart who is known to be
childish, aggressive and downright dumb most of the time unless the plot decides
to make him intelligent. This for some reason, threw me off and had me confused
as it doesn’t make any particular sense in the slightest to have this happen.

Not only that, the side characters of this show other than the main duo just
feels... fake. Pawoo, a lady portrayed as a sexy fighter with rusts on her body
seems to be there for the fanservice and nothing else, despite being the main
reason for the doctor to go on an adventure in the first place. Even as the plot
goes on, I cannot indulge myself with the fact that Pawoo is supposed to be a
character and nothing more than an image of lust. The only decent character out
of them was Jabi, who had something to say for himself, but yet again, he
doesn't seem to be anything that amazing where the main character has talked
about him. Tirol on the other hand had something, but it was disappointing that
she doesn't get much attention other than a few particular episodes. In the end,
the characters of the show are incredibly poor and easily forgettable.

In terms of enjoyment, it felt like my time was wasted on this junk, which
successfully fooled me into thinking it's an actual good piece of fiction, which
it's nothing more than trash. I regretted not listening to others who knew what
they were getting into, its tendency of pulling out plot conveniences,
contradicting characters, forced character development, rushed storytelling, and
illogical lore.

"I'm telling you it's overrated!"

Overall, do not watch this anime in any circumstances. You will regret it.
Hence, I end my review about Sabikui Bisco. Also, screw you too, Sabikui Bisco.
