Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin

Nanae Island is a man-made island in the Pacific Ocean that holds everything necessary for the proper education and training of children. It was created by the Great Seven, a group of adventurers headed by Nanana Ryuugajou, as a place for the young to chase their dreams.

After being disowned and exiled by his family, high school student Juugo Yama arrives on this island, happy to finally be free of his father. Upon moving into his new room, he discovers the ghost of Nanana Ryuugajou, bound to the island after her unsolved murder 10 years ago. Nanana tells Juugo that, just before her death, she hid items with unique and mysterious powers all across the island—items known as the Nanana Collection. Hoping to uncover clues that will help him find the culprit behind her death, Juugo, with the help of self-proclaimed "Master Detective" Tensai Ikkyuu and her cross-dressing maid Daruku Hoshino, sets out on his search.

Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin (2014)

Just before this time 10 years ago this show was released and it still stands up pretty well. All we have here is a feel-good slice-of-life show with some treasure hunting, ulterior motives and friendship.

The story itself is treasure hunting as I say on an island that has been expanded with schools on it. We have heard this set-up before but not so much with the treasure hunting. The show has a nice simple flow, some good comedy and a story that is easy to keep up with. It has a darker tone about it but you need not worry ... as it isn't explored particularly during this. I do wonder how all those ruins were set up, an interesting bit of lore.

The art has stood the test of time fantastically and could be released today and you would not notice compared to some other shows around.

The OST is fun, the voices are good, some good minor SFX there too.

The characters all fall into fairly generic roles. The main character looks like a delinquent but isn't, he's from a troubled home but cares for them still and has friends that follow him. Tensai a master detective, is clearly beyond any doubt the best girl and absolutely should be the girlfriend. Nanana is a ghost girl from the origins of the island and then there are others. You have a pretty well-rounded cast here.

For how chilled and easy this show is and how it sets itself up for a season 2 I am shocked that it didn't get a season 2. If only I was a billionaire, I'd be making many shows continue. I enjoyed this, I do recommend it and would watch it again and would love to have seen it carry on since I watched it in 2 days. 8/10.

Mixed Feelings

Ghosts, Pudding, Trials and comedy? hmm...

Who is Yama Juugo? Well, you know how you watch some animes and your like "oh, this main character ticks all the boxes of main character disease" because he's your basic plain slate nothing going on but people seem to gravitate to him and his normalness? yeah, that's Juugo, he's a boy who wants to stand up for justice and protect his friends while keeping his promises. he's generic. And that's fine.

To be completely honest this anime is padding, there are some good ideas, though lack of execution, it feels like nothing happened but stuff was said. with either more ... episodes or a second season this may have been better. I never dislike the antagonist, but not because he's Dio. because he made solid points (about equality) to which the main character screams at him on some moral high ground which he doesn't have.

The puzzle scenes are done well and by puzzle scenes, I mean how they show the puzzles being set up. All character development falls on side character and some of them come across as really cool though you never see again. The show's pacing was off for the number of episodes it has since the story it tells needs more of them to develop at the pace they were pushing. it's not bad, I enjoyed my time with it. but what it could have been is where it falls short.

Bueno, that's it folks....unless there is a season 2. Enough of that, so another 2014 spring anime has ended and frankly I couldn't care less if it's only 11 episodes, so no more fucking around as I present my ratings for each of this anime's category:


Fair 6.

Story- Ok, it is good but not good enough, since the plot itself was full of potholes that as larger as moon craters, now I can't imagine that a teeny bopper like Nanana would be able able to accumulate such riches through treasure hunting. Ok, so she has some help from her band called the "Great 7," so, ... I'm guessing this is another one of them Japanese teens who have to grow up fast, but not that fast, If it were me I would made it that Nanana got her treasure by through inheritance from her grand father who is a renowned adventurer , where 20% of the cache are magical artifacts and the rest where she was able to use to make more money and make her "Nanana Island Project" a reality, and here is the mystery.... she was murdered by someone in her family who wants those magic artifacts. So lets go to some of those potholes:


Nanana's Collection- theoretically if she, together with her "Great 7" brat mates where able to gather them then by that time they would have been old farts already, or some of them would have died in search of those treasures.

The murder of Nanana Ryūgajō- if the killer were to find out that Nanana was a ghost who can be seen by everyone then wouldn't that murderer try to go back and find out how a ghost like her was able to exist as if she is still alive? I'm guessing that that round sphere around her neck is one of those so called collections, so if a killer was able to find that out, then he or she would either use some of the collections to counter it or blow up the entire apartment.

Ruins- To put up ruins around the island would meant that there are maps or city plan designed that any would be treasure hunters would be able to find, the idea for such place to be in an island that has a modern metropolis is just very stupid, beside wouldn't the city administrator forbid such place to exist in the first place. It it were me, I wouldn't put those so called ruins in a modern metropolis, instead I would place it in one part of the island where it has a lot of old abandon buildings, warehouses and haunted houses.

And there were a lot to mentioned that my fingers alone would get tired just by typing it, so with such potholes, there is really no doubt in my mind that this category should be "Fair" enough.


Good 7.

Art- I like the art form where there isn't much fanservice for them pirreos to howl for, I also like the CGI that were done for the ruin effect.

Sound- I like the opening theme, the closing, the VAs who did Nanana, Tensai and Daruku's voice.

Enjoyment- It is enjoyable enough and just like the other who were watching this anime I too fell more on the entertainment side of the anime, where I ignore the potholes that it has.


Poor 3.


First of all, nearly all of the characters here where somewhat have 2 conflicting side, ok,let's go with Juugo on one side he was suppose to be this student who was disowned by his father, ok so if that's the case why the fuck does he have to go to such faraway island where most of its population were compose of geniuses? There were also some plot twist where at first he didn't recognize Yukihime and Shu as his subordinate, remember the scene where Juugo was capture by the two latters in police uniforms. Another conflicting mystery about him was his interest with the so called "Nanana Collection" wher at one point we see him competing with his fellow "Adventure Club" mates, competing with his own subordinates and competing with his father, even if he did want to find who killed Nanana, there is still the feeling where he himself might have some selfish desire for the said collection. Nanana, about her, I'd say that she is one big pothole of a character whether it is in anime or manga, now if she is the author's idea of a typical Japanese teen who should grow up fast, then that author really sucks, now I just have no idea what's going on inside Kazuma Ōtorino's mind as to why he made such character to be a big pothole, let's face it, unless she has a genie in the lamp as part of her collection, how can a young girl find so many treasure in a span of let's say a few months a be a billionaire immediately and be able to obtain artifacts with magical properties that quickly. Frankly, author Kazuma Ōtorino wasn't really thinking about the potholes but rather he focuses more on the entertainment side of the character which is the reason why I gave this category a three. Tensai, ok her character I can forgive, but her sidekick Daruku....no way, wtf was going in the mind of the author for making him a trap? like EEEEEEEWWWWW!!!!! Now then let's go to the adventure's club, nearly what they are, what about them and what they stand for wasn't very clear, co'z at one point they seem to be a bunch of greedy treasure hunters and on the other, they seem to be a bunch of adventurers.


Decent 4.

Overall- It was ok to such point, but I just can't ignore the potholes and the plot twistes that this anime presents, but given that it was still entertain enough without much of the fanservice, I believe that such "Decent" score would be enough for this anime.


Season 2????????????I'd probably give a benefit of a doubt.
