Hiromu Arakawa's New Work "Yomi no Tsukai" Premieres! This Production Team Has Some Serious Talent
Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese
"Yomi no Tsukai" just premiered on April 9, and the original work is by Hiromu Arakawa (the one behind Fullmetal Alchemist and Silver Spoon). This is a must-watch, right?
First, let's talk about the production team:
- Chief Director: Masamitsu Ando (Hanasaku Iroha, Tari Tari)
- Series Composition: Mari Okada (Anohana, Maquia)
- Animation Production: P.A.WORKS (Nagi no Asu kara, SHIROBAKO)
This combo is basically a guarantee of quality. P.A.WORKS' animation has always been solid, and Okada's scripts are something those in the know understand.
Plot in a nutshell:
Shounen Yul and his twin sister Asa live in a secluded village. One day, a mysterious armed group attacks, and Yul accidentally awakens the village's guardian deity "Left and Right-sama," who then calls him "master." This brings the village's secrets, Yul's origins, the "Yomi no Tsukai" legend, and a world-class conspiracy all to the surface.
Have you guys noticed that Hiromu Arakawa loves playing with this "fate + protection" theme? Fullmetal Alchemist was about brotherly bonds, and this time it's switched to twin siblings. Also, the "Left and Right-sama" setup feels like there's something big coming later. The contrast of a deity calling the protagonist master should lead to some heartbreaking truth being revealed.
Only the first episode has aired so far, but the suspense is already maxed out. Has anyone else watched it? Let's discuss.
