I've watched this anime without seeing the original version, I don't think it's too bad to watch.
Therefore I have several conclusions about this anime.
The character designs are inconsistent in my opinion, sometimes from certain angles the characters' faces look strange, I know this is an old school anime, whether on purpose or not.
The storyline which in my opinion has no final goal, Each episode is just filled with protecting items from ancient times.
Especially for the last episode, it's really unclear, it just ends like that, this makes me disappointed.
It's a shame that this anime only has six episodes, this is another shortcoming in story telling. for example, MC's life at schools, only shows a few parts, even though I quite expected more from this school life.
Less like that, I…

I read all the other reviews and just couldn't help but think.
All of the stuff in this show was just cool and fun to be in the background for.
This shows premise is that an ancient civilization that had amazing, very advanced technology was wiped out. Maybe by a war. Maybe a plague. But the tech they made they hid away and in doing so they left a message for the people of today when they find it, and the message is "use the things we've made, or lock it away until you can use it properly,". That's a broad part of the lore. Those who lock these things away safely within the Japanese government are called. Spriggans.
Our MC is a Spriggan and each episode is a different artifact and a new challenge for the MC.
Throughout all of the show I feel like it really displays him in a perfect way…

First time I watched this I was mostly high, and although I enjoyed it, it didn't really make a lasting impression.
I just finished rewatching it and I really loved it this time.
Spriggan is basically a no nonsense action flick. Lots of fighting, lots of military, with a touch of Indiana Jones vibes. No romance or feely stuff, just great action with and adventure.
It was a little weird that the main character is a kid in school who has more sense than the average adult, but I think that adds to the awesomeness of the show.
If like me you're a fan of action stuff, you'll love it. I feel the low rating is unfair.

Sprig-diana Jones.
I’ve been fascinated by Netflix’s willingness to invest in modern reboots of very old anime/manga adaptations. Not only are they exposing a generation of newer weebs to source material they probably wouldn’t of touched or thought to seek out, but I’m always fascinated to see what fantasy/sci-fi stories were told before everything became about isekai-ed losers, videos game levels, skills and demon lords.
Spriggan takes place in the future (for 1996) where a number of the worlds militaries are in an arms race to find powerful, mythical artefacts and ancient technologies in order to create new weapons. Y’know, things like Noah’s Arch, the Crystal Skull and a big, ancient murder robot. Standing between those superpowers is Yuu Ominae, an agent known as a Spriggan for a sec…

Written on that tablet was: "Protect our heritage from the wicked"
Spriggan is a story that revolves around the non understood almost magical tech of ancient civilizations and the constant power struggle between world powers to shift the power balance by hunting these relics.
Oddly it has this strange sort of charm that lulls you in with the huge and incredible worldbuilding of ancient civilizations and advanced technologies which mirror some of today's mysteries and conspiracies, to secondary characters you cant help but cheer for or become invested in.
A lot of different shows have this problem where the setting is not well thought out and feels quite claustrophobic. But the world here feels vast and endless. And this extra dimension of time just adds more curiosity. this allows them…

Spriggan is a modern adaptation of a late 80's Manga published by Shonen Sunday that had a late 90's movie that liberally adapted one of the story arcs. Despite only having 6 Episodes produced, there's a post credit scene at the End of Episode 6 that suggests more Episodes may be produced in the near future.
Story: Each episode is a standalone mission where protagonist Yu Ominae gets sent out to stop some over the top anime villain from trying get their hands on the Ancient Relic of the Episode. Yu usually has someone helping him out, such as a French Bishonen Werewolf or a Greedy Treasure Thief, but most of them only show up in only one episode so far save for the Thief girl Yoshino, who pops up in 3 and 6.
Characters: Yu is the only recurring character with any sort of characterization…

Story: 7/10
The story is good because it has a similar dynamic or premise as Golden Kamuy where different evil groups goes after the treasure or relics for power, but the good side tries to prevent them in destroying peace.
Art/Animation: 8/10
The 2d animation blends well with 3D CGI and the CGI is not out-of-place or terrible (similar to how Beastars was animated). The fight scenes are very well animated and choreographed, to the point it gave me an adrenaline rush.
Sound: 10/10
David Production still hasn’t failed in the background music and sound effects department. The voice actors (sub and dub) did a very good job in voicing their characters.
Characters: 7/10
I enjoy the main character since he has displayed a likeable and relatable personality and I am also grateful that the…

To start off if you don't know nothing about Spriggan, than you will be confused the first 2 episodes which makes the show feel pretty mediocre. For me the the 3rd episode when I started to enjoy it because I understood the story at this point Yu, was protecting artifacts that could destroy the world which are kinda of like weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Story, needs work and also the fight scenes needs more tension for example at the end of episode 2 it just felt like talk no jutsu and I thought we are going to get something epic but nothing surprised me till like episode 5 which I thought the teacher who talked about Ki was cool and Jean, when he turned into his monster form was pretty cool as well. Everything in this anime is fine but not good or very good or anything. Also, the CGI…

The anime is produced by netflix, with mixed animation that fuses 2d animation with cgi. The animation is quite good, I was surprised by the animation, the plot of the anime is not the best but it is very interesting, you always want to see how the story ends with the protagonist. But the ovas do not advance much in the plot, the character designs are very good, the character development is very well done because it gives a background to the world where the character lives, I like that a lot, everything is very organic does.
The story tells about a group that has to capture technological objects before they fall into the wrong hands, that's where our protagonists come in, hitting each other with all the bad guys they find.

Since ratings are heavily inflated these days and we only give art 7 or more seeing a show below it means it's utter garbage and not worth checking out. That is not the case here. The rating is criminally low. Here you have an entertaining show with higher than average production value. The events get crazy at times with high-octane action. The characters are very enjoyable, cheesy, and badass. The CGI can be jarring but is used consistently and looks way better than Mappa AoT. Backgrounds are fire and violence is gory but presented in a tasteful way. Storytelling is episodic and overall very old school which is welcome in the current isekai and ecchi trash epidemic of anime. With its unique take on world-building, it tries to differentiate itself from other titles. IMO shit goes hard. May…

I finally got done watching this show and personally I thought it was really good. I never read the manga, so I jumped in blind.
I was pleasantly surprised with this show, I liked the action as it kept me fairly entertained (kinda wish there was more though, but it holds up pretty well). It switches in-between 3d & 2d animation for the characters. It can be a bit jarring but sometimes the 3d is really good where it is hard to tell what is 2d and what isn't. While something like episode 4...is very noticeable.
I liked the slight continuity of the story carrying through each episode, you can technically jump in randomly from episode to episode but honestly I would personally prefer you watch all of them. Each one wraps up there story within 45 minutes making it a good binge to see if you…

Netflix’s Spriggan was the anime that I was looking forward to the most this year, while also being a show that I had very low expectations for.
Story: 7/10 Good
Each episode is a self contained story that acts as a vignette to the protagonist's life. There is neither an origin story or a proper finale, but instead each episode is a different case that needs to be tackled. In fact, each episode ends by showing the last frame as a picture, which adds to the effect that each episode is just another chapter in Ominae Yu's Life. Generally speaking, each episode is pretty similar as well. Basically, there is an ancient relic that needs to be captured and only Yu can do it. There are additional supporting characters that do help him, but these characters are usually confined to the episode the…

There have been a few modern adaptations of old manga that were successful even in our modern era like Dororo, Ping Pong and Parasyte. Following this trend, Netflix made Spriggan (though they did Devilman Crybaby too) that was animated by 'David Production' (studio behind JoJos & Fire Force) and after that teaser and trailer I was quite hyped (like many) to see this action-packed old-civilization story but it had... a lot of problems.
This anime is pretty much the same as a certain full CGI Anime that aired last year; "Night Head 2041" which is also a spin-off for the manga "Night Head". They both are pretty terrible in many ways with only one selling point. For Night Head 2041, it's the Backgrounds and for Spriggan, its the decent fights (Yes. Not even good, just decent). Though one main…
