Nanana's Buried Treasure

Nanana's Buried Treasure

Introduction

Nanae Island is a man-made island in the Pacific Ocean that holds everything necessary for the proper education and training of children. It was created by the Great Seven, a group of adventurers headed by Nanana Ryuugajou, as a place for the young to chase their dreams. After being disowned and exiled by his family, high school student Juugo Yama arrives on this island, happy to finally be free of his father. Upon moving into his new room, he discovers the ghost of Nanana Ryuugajou, bound to the island after her unsolved murder 10 years ago. Nanana tells Juugo that, just before her death, she hid items with unique and mysterious powers all across the island—items known as the Nanana Collection. Hoping to uncover clues that will help him find the culprit behind her death, Juugo, with the help of self-proclaimed "Master Detective" Tensai Ikkyuu and her cross-dressing maid Daruku Hoshino, sets out on his search.

Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin (2014) Just before this time 10 years ago this show was released and it still stands up pretty well. All we have here is a feel-good slice-of-life show with some treasure hunting, ulterior motives and friendship. The story itself is treasure hunting as I say on an island that has been expanded with schools on it. We have heard this set-up before but not so much with the treasure hunting. The show has a nice simple flow, some good comedy and a story that is easy to keep up with. It has a darker tone about it but you need not worry as it isn't explored particularly during this. I do wonder how all those ruins were set up, an interesting bit of lore. The art has stood the test of time fantastically and could be released today and you would not notice compare…

I think one thing that caught my attention when watching this anime was the character named Nanana, that's all. As for the storyline, it's not bad, it's not too bad to watch, and for new viewers it's quite fun because you'll be curious about the continuation of the story. but not for me because I have re-watched this anime, who knows how many times I can't remember, and today I just finished re-watching it again, therefore I thought of writing a review here too. The character design is very good, or you could say this is a natural thing for A-1 Pictures studio because every anime they work on has good graphics. For the character himself, he has a suitable character and his own character, such as an MC who is not soft or sluggish, when there is a problem he immediately decides what to do…

Going back through seasonal Anime to click on shows I've never heard of and giving them an episode or two, I discovered Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin - a series by A-1 Pictures that lives up to the reputation of the better A-1 projects out there. Nanana is a mashup of several genres that manages to keep a creative, original energy pumping for it's entire 11 episode run. A surprisingly watchable blend, Nanana's story is pushed along by our MC running away from his birthright and joining the Adventure Club at some high school he enrolled in on some island where there just so happens to be an insane collection of powerful artifacts and a ghost he must cohabit with in his bachelor suite, room 202 of "Happy House". The ghost bound to room 202 of Happy House just so happens to be the very ind…

Ghosts, Pudding, Trials and comedy? hmm... Who is Yama Juugo? Well, you know how you watch some animes and your like "oh, this main character ticks all the boxes of main character disease" because he's your basic plain slate nothing going on but people seem to gravitate to him and his normalness? yeah, that's Juugo, he's a boy who wants to stand up for justice and protect his friends while keeping his promises. he's generic. And that's fine. To be completely honest this anime is padding, there are some good ideas, though lack of execution, it feels like nothing happened but stuff was said. with either more episodes or a second season this may have been better. I never dislike the antagonist, but not because he's Dio. because he made solid points (about equality) to which the main charact…

I encounter this anime because i was searching for some romance comedy anime that will give me a good laugh however i wasn't able to find those type of anime so i decided to search for some romance mystery anime instead and you might be wondering why it always has romance tag, well its just my own preference and i think it add some spice on the story. going back to the main topic this anime is really underrated and to be honest i'm probably one of those person out there who underestimate this anime until i give it a shot because i don't have any anime to watch anymore and i didn't expect that it would satisfy me except that they didn't make it longer because it leaves a lot of audience hanging with a lot of questions well i understand it since its source is the light novel and its main pur…

***THIS IS A SPOILER FREE REVIEW*** This for me was one of those delightful surprises that you just happen to come upon with no real hopes and dreams for. My initial thoughts going into Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin were, "Well it cannot be as bad as School Days right?" I was correct; it was infinitely times better. Story: 7/10 I at first thought the main plot was a little weird but after the first two episodes it started to grow on me. The basic concept of the show is: on an island that boasts a new university for students, the treasure hunting club thing goes on puzzle solving adventures for "Nanana's" treasures. Nanana being the creator of the island (well the idea of the island I guess) is kind of the center of the entire show but she mostly plays a sideline role. What each episode…

An adventure series that's not set in a fantasy world: This is basically Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin in a nutshell. It's pretty common for adventure series to have fight scenes and treasure hunting, but this was perhaps the only series I knew that executed it in a semi-utopian setting. The story didn't really peek my interest during the first episodes, but the ones that came after surely did. And I swear, this could probably the series that inspired Re:Zero. But it's not just the plot which they resembled. There was also the cast. The Yama literally resembled Subaru in more ways than one. Even the other characters in Re:Zero looked like they were other versions of RyuNana. Dunno if this is really the case, but that's how I see it, at least. Overall, I really enjoyed it. I'm glad this s…

Basically imagine Indiana Jones, but with your main characters being a group of high school students and that's this anime. Story 8/10 I really love this anime's premise because I'm hard-pressed to think of another anime like it. Every episode (or few episodes) the characters find a new set of Ruins (a treasure location) where they have to get passed a complicated series of traps and solve a puzzle or two to get whatever particular treasure is hidden in these Ruins. It's cool because first they have to find the Ruins, which could be anywhere on the island, and then after they find the Ruins is when the real fun begins. The traps they have to get past are actually deadly so you feel a real sense of danger when their getting through them. The puzzles, too, are very challenging and it'…

Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin is an ongoing light novel and manga series by Otorino Kazuma. Both manga and light novel series began publication in early 2012. In 2014 our old friends at A-1 pictures worked on an eleven episode anime version. I haven't read the novels or manga, so I won't be able to tell you how well the anime series follows either of them. I will, however, tell you how well it stands as its own entity. With that in mind, let's delve into it. Story: Our protagonist, young Yama Juugo, moves to the man-made Nanae Island after being disowned by his father. Once there he finds a low rent apartment, but there turns out to be a catch. It's haunted. The ghost is Nanana, that isn't a lead up to saying 'Batman' it's actually her name, one of the island's founders. Ten years ago s…

I can't find anything this anime lacks. Its great adventure story with great cahracters nad only minus i can find is lack of any ending... Thats the problem with making animes of ongoing manga and novels. I felt really tired both physically and mentally. I wanted to wathc like 1 or 2 episodes and ended up completing it. I REALLY liked everything about it, but lack of any ending really hurts my feelings. If ending doesn't really matter to you and you want to rest - this is a great choise and i recommend watching it. ...........I don't know how to extend my review, so i'll just write things in here........ 1)Don't expect dark, dramatic, deep story from this, it's not hte point; 2)Try relaxing and enjoing great sond and animation; 3)Enjoy its characters, even though there is an obvious trap..…

Story: I think the plot itself is not particularly outstanding, not bad but nothing special either. The premise is rather weak and offers nothing really innovative: faux-real world with something that strikes things out of the ordinary from time to time. The strength of this show is certainly not here, though the story is enough to give space for the characters to give their best. If I tried to recommend Ryūgajō Nanana no Maizōkin on his story alone I'd probably fail to attract anybody. I'm not going to spoil anything, but the really disappointing part was the ending: there's nothing worse than a show that doesn't know what to do with itself, or doesn't have the courage to drive itself to a definite goal. Art: Nothing to say here, it hasn't left me open-mouthed, but it's certainly high qu…

Nanana's Buried Treasure is a type of adventure anime that seems to mix together several different genres together to make a kind of unique package On the surface the story is about how Juugo moves into a dorm where Nanana lives. However, she is a ghost who is searching for her killer. She has hidden the treasure she has gathered in her life time around the city and Juugo is tracking them down to help her achieve her goal. However, fairly early on there is a major twist in the anime that does take time to get used to, but ultimately raises the stakes. However, the story does not go very far in the 11 episodes the show has. The ending does not even fall on a spot where there is some closure and the pacing is off balanced due to the number of reveals the show commits to. The anime is very…

What do a NEET ghost, a master detective, a cross-dressing maid, and buried treasure have in common? Well, they're all part of Yama Juugo's new life on Nanae Island. Overall: 8 Nanana's Buried Treasure is an anime that deserves more praise than it gets. Colorful art and a fresh story bring a fantastic tale to the table. The characters personalities contrast beautifully with each other. The big issue is that the short, 11 episode series doesn't feel like a complete series in itself. We needed a longer time to be able to explore more ruins. The lore that's presented during the shows run, and the fantastic powers within the treasure needed more time. All in all, Nanana's Buried Treasure is a must watch, if you like lighthearted fun, with a bit of drama and adventure. Story: 8 Yama Juugo i…

You Can Always Check Out My Youtube Channel For the Video Review But Here is the written Review Story - 7/10 The story begins as our protagonist Juugo Yama is exiled by his family’s business. And he is forced to transfer to the ‘Special Student Zone’, which is an artificial island, created by Nanana. And Juugo loved being sent here. The Special Student Zone is an island, housing students, providing a ludicrous amount of courses by a huge amount of schools as well. Student’s make up most of its population, hence it’s a educational facility, sort of like a university of some sort. I kind of did wish they elaborate and explored more into detail on the setting of the show. After getting tricked to live in low end apartment, Juugo must live with a ghost who occupies the apartment and cannot…

Good Day to all, lets start with the Story-line : the story was really without meaning and you feel the episodes are not lining together. It was easy story not complex the pacing were bad sometimes they are going fast then suddenly very slow. The only element i liked about the story is the comedy. Art: above average in all but i want to comment character design i thought its great. Sound: average... also another comment in the start of the song it feel like it was recorded ten years ago. Character: Here where anime shines, the reactions of the characters in fights is funny( master detective). Ikusaba, Hiiyo this character is just amazing overall. Enjoyment: i think anybody who wants little comedy mixed with fighting they will enjoy it but if are into real stuff like killing or…

Have you ever heard of a person living on just pudding for nearly a decade? No you haven't, because that's insane. It's not insane if it's in an anime though. Story: 8/10 The story is very interesting, mainly because it has some mystery to it. Scavenger hunt-type anime are very interesting and that's why I like this anime. Sometimes, there would be scenes where there would be just people talking for about half an episode, which dragged the anime out even though it was 11 episodes. It wasn't that funny to me, but that doesn't matter mainly because the mystery in the anime overpowers the comedy. There's also romance in the anime but it was very slight. Though there is action, it's quite boring but adds to the mystery side of how each of the 'Nanana's Collection' works. Art: 10/10 The a…

I think this anime was a masterpiece! I loved every frame, minute, and episodes that I watched. Unfortunately, there are no second seasons or plans for future ones, that I know of. Story: 10 Ryuugajou's story took me into this amazing maze of plot twisting, thrilling, journey as I found myself trying to peek into every character and forming a bond with some of them. I really loved it!! Art & Sound: 10 The art was wonderful, the characters were very easy to associate with, and it was consistent throughout the show. The sound was Characters: 10 I loved them! Especially the protagonist!! His character is so deep and much more complex than I thought. The other characters also proved to be much more than just foil for the protagonists. Each of them have specific traits that piqued my inte…

This anime is like a short arc of a big series. The story and plot are really interesting but they are not completely described in these 11 episodes. Though I would've loved if this anime got a sequel. It's an enjoyable anime, kinda like a "just watch and go with it" without worrying much about character developments, plot holes and event stories. Let's get with the review; Story 8/10: An island for students has several treasure items having special powers. They are called Nanana's Treasures since she was the one to find them. But Nanana is now dead and her ghost occupies the room of Yama Jugo, our protagonist. Jugo aims to find Nanana's killer to help her pass on. Alongwith that, he and some friends and enemies are in the race to find all of Nanan's Hidden Treasures. Comedy goes hand in…
