a bunch of incan warriors are reincarnated as japanese people who one by one remember their past lives. this show was a little confusing, and i feel like there was something missing that kept it from being really special but i'm not sure what it was. either way it was fun to watch, there's something kind of Jojo-esque about it from the whacky character designs to the fantastical battles and the fact that the main villain is voiced by Dio's voice actor. it could be really goofy but there were plenty of genuinely touching moments!
i think the best thing about this anime is the music! it was mostly very beautiful and some were funky as hell. the art is also really nice, i like the way the faces are drawn a lot, everyone's face is actually unique and the shading is pretty.
while the plot i…

Jikuu Tenshou Nazca doesn't really know what to do with its time. It has a slow pace and the basic elements of the plot aren't established until the 3rd episode.
Basically a few Aztecs get reincarnated a few hundred years later. Over time some of them awaken and partially remember their past. As the plot progresses so come the memories back and the baggage attached to them. While this could serve as a tool for dramatic tension between characters as they come to grasp what they become against what they were, most of the people, especially the evil faction, shed their current life away to indulge themselves in their past. The good faction around the main character doesn't really want to be their old personas and try to overcome their past. But in most situations that past self comes to the…

Review in english and Spanish
Seems that Im the only one who found this series not because of "Malcom in the midle"; Im from peru so i was looking for some anime that was about the Incas....and well what i found was pretty mediocre
The history is simple ancient warriors from the Incan Empire got reincarnated as young japaneses(because,,,,,,ANIME!!!!) and now they will figth for the destiny of the earth, in general the Plot is decent.....except for the final, this need an epilogue
The characters are OK, the main protagonist has a decent development...the others character are really simples but with a good characterization, the series dont spend time developing them
The animation is mediocre but the soundtrac is quite good, is exotic and armonius.
In conclusion unless you are intereste…

“Yes. No. Maybe. I Don’t Know. Could you repeat the question?” – “Boss of Me” by They Might Be Giants
Jikuu Tenshou Nazca is a bit of an infamous anime, but not for anything the anime itself did. No, it’s infamous for being featured in the opening credits of Malcolm in the Middle along with several other lesser known media (such as One Million Years BC, Clash of the Titans, Creature from the Haunted Sea, Thrill Seekers, and clips from a WCW Mayhem PPV just to mention a few). So I had absolutely no idea what to expect when going into this series. To use an exact quote from Malcolm from the middle, specifically Dewey, “I expect nothing, and I’m still let down”.
The series follows Miura Kyoji, a dedicated kendo student, who, after rushing to see his Kendo Team Captain and mentor, Tate Masan…

Jikuu Tenshou Nazca is a unique show which manages to use an even more outlandish plot element than your standard anime.
Reincarnated Incan warriors.
. . .
In Japan.
During a kendo match, the protagonist Kyoji's sensei Tate awakens to his past life memories, setting in motion the renewal of his apocalyptic past-life designs. He goes about awakening other reincarnated spirits--including our hero--even though half these people worked -against- him the last time.
Maybe he thought they'd be more dissatisfied with modern Japan then they were with ancient Peru?
What makes this absolutely silly is just how many reincarnated Incan warriors can be found in the same social circle of a Japanese high school. At one point, a newly introduced character who gets caught up in events, declared to be…
