Golden Kamuy 4th Season

The race to obtain the lost Ainu gold is nearing its peak, as even more formidable ex-prisoners are set on keeping their tattooed skins intact. Saichi "The Immortal" Sugimoto and Asirpa can finally move forward together, but Asirpa's time with Kiroranke and Ogata Hyakunosuke has slightly altered her ambition and strengthened her determination. As their party leaves the Russian territory, they gain a peculiar follower.

Meanwhile, Toshizou Hijikata's crew makes major moves to get invaluable skins, falling into the poisonous trap of a dangerous convict. Although each group possesses a strong advantage over the others, even First Lieutenant Tokushirou Tsurumi—the most powerful and ruthless contender—cannot advance without Asirpa's help. However, his ominous plans for when they will inevitably meet remain a mystery.

Golden Kamui 4

Have you ever seen a pseudo Jack the Ripper fight an army officer while the two were shooting at each other with their own "cum"? No? Of course not, but now is your chance. When I started this season, I never expected to see a scene like this on my screen. But I was impressed by it, something like this should be seen more often.

Aside from the masterful performance delivered by this bizarre fight, I must also continue to praise how well the series has developed. Even though this season had more adventure episodes than story episodes, they were made very interesting. It's ... worth mentioning that every character gets screentime and doesn't just vegetate.

You can tell that the series is slowly moving towards the end and I hope that the last or next season can offer a similar quality as the 3 predecessors, so that a successful conclusion would be possible.

Man I love this show. Before I dove into season four, Golden Kamuy was already one of my favourite shows. After season four however my opinion has changed...I love it even more.

Ill start with the story simply because I want to write about it the most. This season might just be the best yet. From a progression of the story and exhilarating moments, season three takes it. But man is this season funnier than ever. There are too many moments to mention that are absolutely hilarious. I haven't laughed so many times in such a short period of time watching an anime as I did ... for this season. It also doesn't detract away from the serious element of this adventure. Every character is necessary here. They are written perfectly. The only element of this season that keeps it as a 9/10 is the stories told in the season are a little short and disjointed. Don't get me wrong, I still think this season is a strong 9/10. I read in the reviews from someone who reads that manga that a lot was crammed in seemingly to draw the show to a close sooner. This may be why it was written so. Nevertheless, the story of this season is great and the adventure within Golden Kamuy just never gets boring.

Animation wise, this is where we will see the classic cliche comments. Season 1-3 was by Geno Studio and season 4 was done by Brain's Base. Because of this we will undoubtedly see; 'season 4 is a shell of what came before because of the studio change' or 'the new studio has killed the show'. Putting this cliche crap to one side, the animation is as good as ever. Its as high quality as it has always been. The new studio clearly respect the IP and have delivered exactly what was required for the fourth installment.

Music too is spot on. As good as it as ever been.

Golden Kamuy is a superb show. It is hilarious, packed with action, doesn't take itself too seriously and will forever be one of the best adventure stories that exists within the anime medium. If you are reading reviews of season four, chances are you have started the show and are already hooked. If you havnt started, do it. You won't regret it. It's brilliant.

Mixed Feelings

The 4th season of Golden Kamuy is barely a shell of the prior three seasons. With a new studio, it is very obvious that the best they can do is pay lip service to the gimmicks of previous seasons without truly understanding how to carry the plot forward in a compelling way. Golden Kamuy is a story with culture, heart, and the excitement of new discoveries. This 4th season has lost those genuine qualities and can only weakly attempt to scribble something vaguely similar on paper for viewers who don't mind.

One argument in defense of this season is that it is an attempt to flesh ... out the backstories of major side characters. However, this attempt is seriously controversial as it retcons already established backstory in the prior season. Further, the pacing of these one-off episodes has seriously ground the series down to a halt as it seems to delay advancing the plot until the manga is finished.

Based on most of the reviews I've seen, most viewers enjoy this 4th season as much as the previous ones. With that in mind, I think many people will still enjoy this even with its changes. Personally, however, I hope Golden Kamuy finds its footing again next season and recaptures its original spirit of adventure.
