I have never really felt compelled to write a review of an anime. Then I watched Nazca. I came upon this show most likely the way that most people have. “What’s that anime featured in the Malcolm in the Middle intro?”

I didn’t expect anything more than either an average show or possibly a complete mess that would make for a good laugh. I just wanted to watch this just to watch it. Although, I was curious if there was something to the show that others didn’t get, however; I go into anything with an open mind regardless of how the majority feel about it. ... I truly believed that this was going to be just as I expected.

Then I start the show. From the first two episodes it is obvious the premise seems downright silly. Further into the show you can see that it is historically inaccurate. It seems like something you just have to write off. Like how can this possibly get any better? But there were elements to the show that couldn’t go unnoticed.

Nazca is unique, it is bold, it is entertaining and above all it is confident in itself. Akira Himekawa believed in this story and she ran with it. As I progressed, I continued to see her vision and what she was trying to go for, while at the same time never losing sight of how this was not for everybody. I believe that Himekawa was not trying to please anybody but simply write using 100% of her creativity, and one thing I’d be disappointed to hear about this story from another person is that it lacked creativity.

This may be one of the easiest anime to write off as nonsense, and I would not blame anyone who would feel this way at all.

However, if you ask me, there is nothing like Nazca. This is one of my favorite anime, and I would recommend it to anyone, regardless of how many asked me, “what the hell do you see in this?”

That is for me to see, and believe me, I see it.

Thanks Malcolm in the Middle.
