Before reading id recommend Watching the trailer, and you'd immediately know whether it's a hit or a miss for you.I can confirm the Soundtrack in the anime is on the same level. this is one of those few times that a trailer is so good that it gives you a proper taste of what's to come and also hype you up for it Sabikui Bisco is a sleeper hit shounen BUT, The final few episodes proved it is STILL a SHOUNEN anime :” D Now, Let me bring up my fucking shounen chart Worldbuilding — probably the best in a very long time Powerup with screamfest? —less Plot armor? —more than kirito Nakama no chikara (power of friendship?) —naruto will be proud Generic power system world and MC starts weak? —no Main rival? —none Teacher? —nope Waifu? — God tier and also legal! So it is clearly a min-max build xD A lot of annoying shounen tropes are cut off but the others that are present have a power level beyond 9000! For those who aren't keen on that please stick around and read the rest. This anime has the best-built world out of any anime in 2022 so far …. Machine gun hippos, giant shrooms, slug planes, giant rod wielding hot woman :3. Arrows that sprouts giant mushrooms, suited up mafia with a bunny mascot headgear. And what's worth it is, everything fits right in due to how much of a struggle life is due to the rust wind people adapt, they learn new tricks they change and am sure the modern comfy world would never allow a slug plane XD. But for the first project of a new anime studio (even tho they have some great people working there), this seems rather promising, I cant wait to see what else they have in store for us! The world of sabikui Bisco is really well done so much so that my trash taste in anime wants to even call it a fit for the isekai world. The Post-apocalyptic theme is mostly downplayed by many animes but here, you can tell every day is a struggle to survive, people literally rusting o death, eating what they can find, getting addicted to weird mushrooms, and children wielding weapons just to protect themselves. It's dark, depressing, and full of mystery and yet life finds a way to thrive and so do humans. The music in this anime is really amazing the person who chose and composed the music needs a raise, the music fits so well to the half-dead fallen world which rusts away literally and is magical and sometimes hallucinating levels of weird shit happening all around (the author was probably on drugs). I’ll get straight into the rating since I want to keep the viewing experience as unspoiled as possible. Plot (7/10) Well, it's kind of a generic shounen start, adventure begins to find something (this time it ain't one piece, it's the cure to rust wind). The weakest part of the plot is probably that one asspull that happened, but that will depend on tolerance for that kind of thing. but it certainly has a sense of familiarity when one thinks of other shounen shows. Characters (8/10) Milo and Bisco are like JOBROS level of bro story, MIlo may seem annoying at times but he does change for the better towards the middle and the end, Bisco is goddamn best boi something along the lines of a good tsundere guy who isn't flustered at being nice but is just not very used to people,Pawoo develops really well towards the end after everything is cleared up. Tsuda kenjiro and kurokawa are a perfect match (those who know do send FR). jabi and the kids also have a pretty good personality. Sound and VA(10/10) The Best I have seen out of any new release, Op is a straight banger, the rumbling is a great blessing to rock fans this will make them cream their pants.ED is JOBRO the ending 100% that is totally the vibe any Jojo fan will feel. Tsuda Kenjiro is totally the best VA one can pick for anti-hero or fucked up villain there is no contention in that regard. The VA of Pawoo was also a great and unique voice, it totally helps reflect her strength and confidence and the rest of the characters didn't stand out that much but are great nonetheless. Art and animation (9/10) The Art is so really good, (only akebi chan has a realistic chance of beating it, but it wouldn't be fair since the tone is different for both) although it loses some points in animation, the art is absolutely gorgeous and immediately makes it clear that this is a post-apocalyptic world. The dead tetsujin statue being repurposed into a living space, dark and wild plants that grow and evolve to fight the new environment they find themselves in, a dull but alive city that barely holds on to hope, it's perfect. A must watch if you loved the trailer, it's surely great to see a new idea being executed this well, it had way more potential IMO but I must say this is still one of the best this season, by all means, Do not let the mediocre score waver you and definitely give it 3 episodes to let it sink in. at the very least, do watch the trailer.

Sabikui Bisco is a prime example of “You had me in the first half”. What started out as a unique and gritty looking story in the first few episodes, became an extremely convoluted one full of plot holes and errors that made it a drag to watch. The build up to the climax of this show was great, but the climax itself was one of the most disappointing things I have seen in a while, and that’s truly a shame. My grading criteria: Story: /25 Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Thematic Execution /20 STORY: 8.5/25 At the outset, this seemed like an interesting concept. Ina dystopian society called Imihama that was ravaged by rust, we see Milo, our character, live his life by investigating this “rust disease” and treating patients at a clinic. We see the seemingly scheming governor of this society, Kurokawa, who seemed like a very intriguing villain. I was thoroughly intrigued at this point. After that, Bisco appears, with a bow and arrow in which the arrows make mushrooms grow on whatever they hit, which was an interesting concept. Following a reveal about the true nature of the rusting and its effect on humans, Bisco and Milo embark on a journey. The rest of the build up you can watch yourself, but the underlying problems are the lack of a general direction of the plot. *SPOILERS IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH The climax of the story is where it all fell apart. Kurokawa is the corrupt governor that has a hand in this entire rust issue, and Bisco and Milo confront him, but he proves tough to outsmart. My gripe with this entire sequence of events is that when there’s a clear opportunity to defeat him, Bisco spares him, and it led to more disasters down the road, including the demise of someone, which was another poorly executed “emotional” scene. Anything after that scene was just not good anymore, with the huge monster Tetsujin and all. It became generic and uninteresting. ART: 7.7/10 The overall art style is good, but it looks very grimy, if you know what I mean. MUSIC: 8.6/10 The soundtrack is pretty good, and both the opening and ending are one my favourites of the season. CHARACTERS: 5.5/20 Much like the story, the characters felt very interesting to start, but either didn’t play enough of a role (characters like Tirol, and anyone from the children’s fortress come to mind), or didn’t get good development down the road. In the action scenes, they made questionable decisions, and much of the character quality dropped with the story quality, which was a shame. Wish we could also know more about Bisco’s backstory and some more details about mushroom keepers and more about rusting in general. For Milo, the developments he got felt out of place, as characters shouldn’t be turning their personality into something that seems like the polar opposite for their personality, it was just a bit much. As for the villain, Kurokawa, he was way too basic, and his demise was very anticlimactic. ENJOYMENT: 7.8/15 Enjoyment declined with the overall narrative, but I enjoyed the first part. THEMATIC EXECUTION: 12/20 This show tries their hand at many themes, and I do think they build the atmosphere nicely, with that dark tone around Imihama, and overall in the story. The adventure element was alright, but the action themes weren’t all that great, especially the last part against the Tetsujin, because of the plot issues there. The emotional side to the story did not pan out due to the tragic situations being clearly avoidable. OVERALL: 50.1/100 It’s really a shame that the climax wasn’t executed very well, and made the story fall off afterwards, but for what it’s worth, the world had a nice vibe to it, and it was definitely an attempt at an unique concept, but it wasn’t flushed out very well. Last bit seemed rushed, but pacing seemed to be an issue throughout. 8/10 for the first eight episodes, 2/10 for the last four episodes. For Studio Oz’s first anime, it was average, and we hope to see some better things from them in the future.
