The art style very much suits the story being told and contributes to the overall tone so it is successful in that respect. I’m not going to say I particularly like the character designs but it is striking and the characters are distinct and memorable. The humour is at times crude but it actually works quite well and adds to the overall entertainment of the show. The time periods the various characters come from shape their fighting styles and philosophies and this allows for the action sequences to not get dull. This makes it really hard to know what the actual end game for this whole story would be particularly as we don’t know the deal with the guy and the girl in the tunnel (other than a clear binary opposition though why we don’t know).ĭespite a lack of answers or real sense of urgency in any of the actions, Drifters manages to be pretty entertaining as we lurch from conflict to conflict. It is clear some have been in the world for a long time and have their own plans and ideas and the three Japanese Drifters that are freeing elves and dwarves and generally going on a mission of conquest are really just out for their own ideals and don’t really seem to care much for the grander scheme (or anyone else’s plans). The obvious is the confrontation between Drifters and Ends except that the Ends don’t seem to be exactly what we’ve been told and the Drifters aren’t overly concerned with fighting them unless they happen to directly be in the path of what the Drifters are currently trying to do.Īlso, the Drifters aren’t all exactly united. So the questions is, was it worth waiting for?ĭrifters is one of those stories where it could be really cool, but at the moment we’re very much feeling like we’ve read the prologue to a much grander story and we still don’t really know what is going on. So after reading all the reviews as it aired and series reviews of people who finished it after that, I had a fair idea of what I was getting into. This obviously came out last year but due to lack of access, it was only very recently I was finally able to watch it (thanks AnimeLab for brining it to Australia). Uniting with other Drifters, they begin to fight, well, everyone. A door opens and Toyohisa finds himself in a new world where he is called a Drifter. Toyohisa is injured in a battle and as he starts to die finds himself in a mysterious corridor facing a man in a suit reading a newspaper.
