This show, this damn show... When I was much younger. Maybe 3 or 4, I had a dream. Of a man. A young man. Red hair. No older than 15. He was a miner. He worked day in and day out. Yet, he never loved what he did. He was friends with but one man. A boy with blonde hair. The blonde haired child was an outcast. He was considered under those known as Bushi. The red haired boy showed no care for this as he enjoyed the time he spent with the Bushi. They would spend every day together. The red haired boy dreamed ... of going on a journey with the Bushi. Soon, that dream would become reality. This show is the embodiment of that dream I had many years ago. This show, this damn show... its alright. Nothin special. Episode 11 was really good though.

When I heard about this show, I really didn't think much of it. All I saw was that it was on my Netflix homepage. Eventually I decided to start it. As someone who is not particularly super into art / the making of art, this show did an amazing job of grasping every second of my attention. Sure the animation isn't the best, that's expected from a studio like this. However, scenes stayed extremely true to the manga which is something to appreciate. Yatora's story is an extremely captivating one and goes over a lot of the mental struggle of someone trying to find their ... way through the world of art. As the show kept going it not only felt like a laid back yet intense art story, but it also felt like an action filled battle with the canvas. I really do hope this show does get renewed for a second season because the manga that follows the end of season 1 is interesting and I would love to see it animated.
