TL;DR
Story: 7/10 (so far)
So far so good.

Art: 8/10 (so far)
Using chibi characters in war themed is a new thing for me.

Character: 5/10 (so far)
Forgettable beside the MC.

... Enjoyment: 6/10 (so far)

First one to review here, I'm still a beginner to this so bear with me.

Reading Peleliu: Paradise of Guernica is like watching WW2 movies not on American side but more on the Japanese side. It tells a story about group Japanese soldiers trying to survive the battle of Pelelius and many of them think that there is no way they could survived the battle. I like the realism approach by the author of using the horrors of bombardment of both sea and air and cause the soldiers to feeling more hopeless that they could survived the day. Because there are no interests to this manga, the translators decided to drop the project right after the end of the first volume so it's hard for me to review it any further thus I cannot see the full potential of this manga and it couldn't help that the first volume was only about the introduction so I give it a 6/10 for now.

Before i started my main criticism, first I wanted to compliment the humor and unique concept of this franchise. I had some good laughs watching this and it is a very wholesome experiences watching Tatsu the main Yakuza MC as a househusband and interacts with the other housewives even making his former yakuza's friend Masa to follow his steps.

Now back to my main criticism:

"The process of making films, videos and computer games in which drawings, models or images of people and animals seem to move."

That is the definition of animation by Oxford learner's dictionary. While anime itself means that it is made in Japan or ... its neighboring countries.

Now why I bring this up? Because anime adaptation of Gokushofudo wasn't even anime let alone an animation. We can use that definition to question the legitimacy of Gokushofudo as an "anime"

"Does it seems to move?" No, only restricted to its mouth movement & the blinking of their eyes.

"So is it seems to move and more lively?" Well, I think you now the answer.

So, overall it's bad and I think another studio should re-adapted it atleast with more lively animation than this. 3/10.


Edit: Oh my god, they added the part 2.
