I had high hopes for Warlords of Sigrdrifa. Its writer, Tappei Nagatsuki, penned both Re:Zero and Viviy: Flourite Eye’s song, which are some of my favorite light novels and anime. I thought that, even if the visuals fell to CG slop for all the action ala the first Kingdom season, Tappei’s writing could elevate this to something worth watching. I’m not sure if he phoned this one in or if A1 blundered the story somewhere along the way, but my expectations were pretty much the opposite of what I experienced.
Starting with the good, the action exceeded my low expectations, with the aircraft looking solid, and the animation outside of the action sequences looking really great and ridiculously fluid. So much personality was put into animating the girls’ activities on the base, from soccer seque…

Well from the start I have to say that this show really needs the tag of CGDCT, 80% of the show is really that I know that the chapters need a form to build a history but no like this came on. They could have done it like in Strike/Brave Witches.
I personally have a problem with the pick of the planes for the main squadron the Ki 44 and the He 100 is okey but the Gladiator for the main character plane? A biplane going like jet speed? idk It is strange, they not come up with something cooler idea? I know the Gladiator was a good plane, but I do not like it I would have preferred the Swordfish instead at least it would have been funny. The other plane that bothers me is the MC 72 same, is it the only cool plane that you came up? the Italians had a lot of cool planes in the war. I know that t…

When the anime was first announced, I was generally sold on its concept and I am a big fan of both all-girls action anime and overlooked anime in general. Tappei Nagatsuki being the writer is also a plus so I had moderately high expectations of giving it a chance. After having watched its early episodes, there are some promises that the anime will certainly do well with its wholesome story that showed a lot of potential and I'm certain it'll have an actually encouraging message hidden somewhere. Unfortunately, almost all of my hope is lost and it heavily petered into a mixture of blood-boiling anger over how it turned out, sorrowful disappointment over many aspects not going the way I wanted, and slight disgust. There are many things the show did wrong with very few rights so I'll first st…

Senyoku no Sigrdrifa (also known as Sigururi) is one of the most underrated anime that I've ever seen. It's not anything groundbreaking or life-changing, and the animation is fairly average, but I absolutely love how this show handles itself and its themes.
The decision to make the first episode double-length is the smartest thing they could have possible done. Had it been a normal length and the episode ended at the 22 minute mark, I probably would have dropped the show. The way the series opens is incredibly bleak, with Claudia at the end of her rope following another failed mission. What I wasn't expecting at all was for the show to do a complete and total 180-degree turn with her transfer to Tateyama, and for the show to hit us with the one thing that can make any premise interesting:…

The story is a little basic and didn't have any surprises. That being said the story isn't bad, just a little meh. The pacing is pretty consistent, but is a little too fast. That's to be expected from a single cour season of a anime. There was room left for season 2, but I'm not sure there'll be one. 6/10
The art was pretty good. I typically dislike the use of cg in anime, but given the animated objects being what they are it's understandable why they use it as much as they do. The cg isn't terrible either, and isn't always used when it easily could have been. So I'm fine with it, and there were a couple of scenes that were nice and flashy. Pretty good 8/10
The sound is generally good. However there are some issues, to be clear I watched the dub. The voice acting is mostly good with exce…

Overall rating: 7/10 (Spoilers ahead)
This story of this show uses tropes that are pretty common in this genre, and which we've seen before in popular shows like Madoka Magica, Bokurano and Yuuki Yuuna wa yuusha de aru. However, this show is more light-hearted in its themes, and focuses more on the development of its characters. This serves it very well and makes the show quite satisfying to watch.
As I mentioned, it is the character development that moves the plot. Claudia needs to learn to forgive herself for her team's death and find a home and friends with a new team. Azuzu needs to learn to get out of her own head and open herself to friendship (and love?). Sonoka needs to learn to find her passion for her job, and find her inner strength. Ironically, it is Miyako that remains more…

[This review is aimed towards people who have finished the show but could also be for anyone wondering if they should watch this, expect some spoilers for me to explain my reasoning for the score]
Oh boy, A anime that was anticipated by some to be one of the greatest of its time by having two of some of the greatest directors.One from Re:Zero and the other from Girls Und Panzer, What could go wrong? Apparently, everything can. Just as Murphy’s law says “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong”. Surely things went wrong in all sorts of places with this anime. I will first begin this review by talking about the characters as I feel they are the main reason this show went downhill for me.
The characters in a show are one of the most important parts as they are what decides how interesting…

Senyoku no Sigrdrifa (2020)
Well, towards the end I was wondering just who is the best girl, I a hard tie between the Maid from Hell and Miyako. In the end, the super cute redhead appears and we have Kurumi Suzuhara. Perfect choice. That said Miyako is the perfect wife.
The show essentially, god vs humans, planes that look old but outperform jets and little girls to save the world because Japan. But not to worry it is the whole world this time is working on it with Norse mythology included as a pretext.
The art style is really nice, I especially enjoy the cute designs for the girls and the hilarious male designs since the show has a lot of banter. Generally, everything else is nicely done to a good standard.
The OP is pretty fun and the ED is especially good when combined with the o…

Please note this review is intended to be read by those that have finished watching Senyoku no Sigrdrifa and while care has been taken to minimize story related spoilers there may still be spoilers within character analysis. You have been warned.
Based on an original idea Senyoku no Sigrdrifa which is better known by both its English title Warlords of Sigrdrifa and its synonym of Suguri is an action and military genre anime that gives us the unique opportunity to see what will happen if one day in the near future of this century that humanity though far from being united were to for the first time in their lives be confronted by an enemy that not even the vaunted United States military can effectively take on with their bomber fleets and state of the art fighters in the form of the pilla…

Sigururi was my most anticipated show of 2020 along with Re:Zero S2. Coincidentally, both franchises are written by Tappei-sensei. So I had high expectations coming into the show. On one hand, they were met, on the other hand I was left feeling a bit.. let down.
Let me preface this by clarifying what I meant by “let down”. In no way do I think Sigururi was “bad” or not an enjoyable experience. I absolutely loved it. It was one of my most anticipated watches each week. When I say I feel let down, I’m referring to the fact that the show never really reached the heights you’d expect given the staff behind it. There’s obviously Tappei-sensei, but you’ve also got Violet Evergarden’s showrunner involved too. Considering the heavy weight talent behind this, I expected the show’s story to be a lo…

"Welcome one, welcome all...to a day and time of reckoning and Ragnarök". Odin's a pureboy's version of Loki; Valkyries exist to fight gods and once deceased, they "Return by Death" from Valhalla, all into a Japanese-personalized version of the MCU...nah, I'm just kidding (at least the last part, anyways).
Yet another "hyped" show that somehow really missed its mark of appeal, combining an existential crisis with an identity crisis. If you are wondering what the next big thing from Re:Zero author Tappei Nagatsuki's writing calibre would be like of his liking for "men-loving strong girls", I'm sorry to say that we've been bamboozled by his promises, and overall, it's just as expected of a zany "military action" historical aircraft show that had the potential, but eventually becoming a show…
