    Don't worry, there's not spoilers here.


    WallpaperHTR Source Randomc


    Year: 2018 - Genre: Action (Seinen), investigation, drama, comedy - Lenght: 12 episodes.

    Synopsis

    The story take us to Fukuoka, district of Hakata-Japan, where it tells us a world of organized crime that works at uncontrolled levels, in such an excessive way that the hit mans works through companies whose biggest threat is certainly other killers companies. In this context, the plot introduces us to the company of Zenji Bamba, a hit man who counteracts the dishonor and crime of these criminal companies from his own society, called the Bamba Detective Agency, and after a meeting with a hit man named Lin Xianming It involves multiple conspiracies with his society, all this to prevent Hakata from continuing to become a crime land, and in addition, they enjoy a bit of Ramen and baseball every so often.

    The characters in this series are really funny


    Personal Opinion

    Finally I found an anime series that doesn't fall into any stereotype to make comedy, and is that this series stands out for its originality in each of the aspects that compose it. Personally, watch this type of work always fills me with satisfaction, but there are certain elements that may damage the quality unnecessarily, it feels that there was a great effort behind this production, but still comes to have a bitter taste at times, given that the experience ceases to be so compelling.

    A mysterious Character, Samurai Niwaka.


    • History: The story is undoubtedly very good, as I mentioned it has an element that is important and necessary in any story, as is innovation. This series, at least in what the anime has been used to, is not completely in the traditional, of course many anime series have broken stereotypes very recently, and we can even make a long list, but the most behind this, at least in what the story tells, is in the characters that star in it, which are not close to the idea of the traditional characters of both, the West and Japan side. One of the clear examples of this creativity is Lin, a hit man who enjoys cross-dressing and uses it as a tool, being heterosexual, we can say that it is more likely to be found in Japan than in the West, but then we go to the other extreme and we find José Martinez, who if he does not say much with the name, is a native of the Dominican Republic, something extremely rare in Japanese animation.

    From these very interesting characters, the story revolves around short but well-argued arcs that mainly portray the life of Lin, the main character, as well as giving way to explore a bit the past of Enokida, the team's hacker, who proves to be an excellent strategist an important point throughout history , who reveals a past with certain traumatic events. But the elements of weight are developed during the first and last 3 episodes, more focused on the story of Lin.

    Enokida, one of the most important characters


    • Plot: There is very little that I can complain about in this series, that is why it causes me anger that among so many outstanding elements it has failed in something as important, as giving a reasonable argument to the development of it. The main argument has no flaws, no, in fact it is so interesting and well thought out that it was what brought me closer to this series in the first place, the problem is the reasoning behind many events in the plot that simply do not convince, arriving to be too predictable at times, which would not be bad if we talked about shonen, in fact it would have been almost irrelevant, but the case here is that this series is Seinen, and being aimed at an adult audience I feel that the plot underestimates the audience that is directed, came a point where I could almost know how the episode was going to end, I was very close to predict it, and that is uncomfortable because it detracts too much from the good things that this series offers.

    • Narrative: The narrative is a point of weight behind this series, in that aspect it reminds much more to films like "The Ocean's Eleven" than to other anime series, giving jumps from an advance point of the plot, to a bit back in time every so often to answer the question of what had just happened, and the answers were always interesting and with a certain level of elaboration. The humorous aspect is not touching the ridiculous, something that is much appreciated in the Seinen, but perhaps not everything is good, at a certain point you feel that the series is too short, you only get enough details of two of the main characters, leaving many unknowns about a character as important as Banba, who keeps a secret that is revealed half of the series but without giving greater aspects of his personal life, which obviously leaves a feeling of dissatisfaction at the end of the series.

    Baseball, an important part in the series


    • Art and animation: I've already talked a lot about the negative points, now let's talk about one that without a doubt is totally positive and I personally loved it, because this series has a slightly realistic style in locations with a very warm touch on the palette of colors that highlights the coast environment of Fukuoka and creates a pleasant sensation in sight, although perhaps it exceeds in brightness effect, often revealing the reflection of the sun's rays, but in some way that effect is pleasant, The battles are very fluid, the drawing has no noticeable defects and the frequency of drawings remains very stable.

    • Sound and music: We have reached my favorite point. The music that decorates this series is magnificent, for giving it the minimum qualification, the soundtrack is a mix of Jazz style full of trumpets that adds a plus to the comedy scenes and accompanies in a very good way the action scenes, the main themes has a lot of this same style, especially the Ending: DIRTY BULLET, TRI4TH, a fast, fast-paced jazz work with the battery battling the limelight with a very well built trumpet. This is one of the endings that I liked the most in a very long time, for being so original and for the musical quality that it has. For its part, the opening of the series: Stray by Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi uses a Jrock formula mixed with jazz and some punk touch to start each episode with great strength, being satisfactory on each occasion, so several times I got carried away for its rhythm and I shook my head as much as I could. Fortunately I finished it, my neck hurts ...

    The relationship between Banba and Lin is hilarious


    Conclusion:

    A series that had the potential to occupy a space in my Olympus, but that loses too many points by becoming very repetitive and predictable in moments of tension, which should have been the strong point. However, the good black humor, the interesting characters and the background of the story are enough hook to make you see it until the end without suffering for it, and if we add the artistic section, this series is a masterpiece that could be ... but never was.

    History: 10 - Plot: 6 - Narrative: 8 - Art and animation: 10 - Sound and Music: 10 -Total: 9.0 (Excellent)

  2. La opinión del anime: Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens.@huesos3000d

    NOTA: No hay ningún tipo de spoiler, estas reseñas solo hablan de términos generales y analizan los aspectos más fundamentales de la trama.


    WallpaperHTR Orígen Randomc


    >> Año: 2018 - Género: Acción (Seinen), investigación, drama policial, comedia - Duración: 12 episodios.

    Sinopsís

    La historia se centra en Fukuoka, distrito de Hakata-Japón, donde nos narra un mundo de crimen organizado que trabaja a niveles extremos, de forma tan desmedida que el sicaricato funciona por medio de compañías cuya mayor amenaza son ciertamente otras compañías de asesinos. En este contexto la trama nos introduce a la compañía de Zenji Bamba, un sicario que hace contrapeso a el deshonor y crimen de estas compañías criminales desde su propia sociedad, llamada Agencia de detectives Bamba, y tras un encuentro con un sicario llamado Lin Xianming se involucra en multiples conspiraciones junto a su sociedad, todo esto para evitar que Hakata siga convirtiéndose en un nicho del crimen, y esto lo hace además, disfrutando un poco del Ramen y el béisbol cada tanto.

    Esta serie esta plagada de humor y las relaciones entre los personajes tienen un rol muy importante en la trama.


    Opinión Personal

    Al fin encontré una serie de anime que no cae en ningún estereotipo para hacer comedia, y es que esta serie destaca por su originalidad en cada uno de los aspectos que la componen. En lo personal ver este tipo de trabajos siempre me llena de satisfacción, pero hay ciertos elementos que quizás acaban restandole mucho de forma innecesaria, se siente que hubo un gran esfuerzo detrás de esta producción pero aún así llega a tener un sabor amargo por momentos, dado a que la experiencia deja de ser tan atrapante.

    un personaje Misterioso: Samurai Niwaka.


    • Historia: La historia sin dudas es muy buena, como bien mencioné tiene un elemento que es importante y necesario en cualquier historia, como lo es la innovación. Esta serie, al menos en cuanto a lo que nos ha acostumbrado el anime, no está del todo en sintonía con lo tradicional, claro que muchas series han roto estereotipos muy recientemente y podemos incluso hacer una buena lista, pero el plus detrás de esto, al menos en lo que la historia cuenta, está en los personajes que protagonizan la misma, que no son fácilmente encasillables en los personajes tradicionales tanto de occidente como nipones. Uno de los ejemplos claros de esta creatividad es Lin, un sicario que disfruta del trasvestismo ─y lo usa como herramienta─ siendo heterosexual, ya podemos decir de este que es más probable encontrarlo en japón que en occidente, pero luego nos vamos al otro extremo y encontramos a José Martinez, que si no dice ya mucho con el nombre, es nativo de república dominicana, algo sumamente raro en la animación japonesa.

    A partir de estos personaje tan interesantes, la historia gira en torno a cortos pero bien planteados arcos argumentales que retratan principalmente la vida de Lin, el protagonista principal, además de dar paso a explorar un poco el pasado de Enokida, el hacker del equipo, quien demuestra ser un estratega excelente ─punto importante a lo largo de la historia─ y de quien se revela un pasado con ciertos traumas. Pero los elementos de peso se desarrollan durante los primeros y últimos 3 episodios, más centrados en la historia de Lin.

    La historia se centra en su mayor parte en Lin y Enokida, este último presente en la imagen.


    • Argumento: Hay muy poco de lo que me pueda quejar en esta serie, por eso me causa enojo que entre tantos elementos destacables se halla fallado en algo tan importante como darle un argumento razonable al desarrollo de la misma. El argumento principal no tiene defectos, no, de hecho me resulta tan interesante y bien planteado que fue lo que me hizo acercarme a esta serie en primer lugar, el problema es el razonamiento detrás de muchos eventos de la trama que simplemente no convencen, llegando a ser demasiado predecible en ocasiones, lo cual no estaría mal si habláramos de shonen, de hecho hubiese resultado casi irrelevante, pero el caso acá es que esta serie es Seinen, y estando dirigida a un público adulto siento que las trama subestima al público al que se dirige, llegó un punto en el que casi podía saber como iba a terminar el episodio, estuve muy cerca de predecirlo, y eso resulta incomodo pues le resta demasiado a las cosas buenas que esta serie ofrece.

    • Narrativa: La narrativa es un punto de peso detrás de esta serie, en ese aspecto recuerda mucho más a películas como "La Gran Estafa (Ocean's Eleven) que a otra series de anime, dando saltos dese un punto adelantado de la trama un poco atrás en el tiempo cada tanto para responder la incógnita de lo que acababa de suceder, y las respuestas siempre resultaban interesantes y con cierto nivel de elaboración. El aspeto humorítico nunca roza lo ridiculo, algo que se agradece mucho en el Seinen, pero quizás no todo sea bueno, en cierto punto se siente que la serie está demasiado comprimida, solo se llegan a dar suficientes detalles de dos de los personajes principales, dejando muchas incógnitas sobre un personaje tan importante como Banba, quien guarda un secreto que se revela a mitad de la serie pero que sin dar mayores aspectos de su vida personal, lo cual obviamente deja una sensación de insatisfacción al culminar la serie.

    El béisbol juega un rol importante dentro de la serie.


    • Arte y animación: Ya he hablado mucho de los puntos negativos, ahora hablemos de uno que sin dudas es totalmente positivo y en lo personal me ha encantado, pues esta serie tiene un estilo ligeramente realista en escenarios con un toque muy cálido en la paleta de colores que resalta el ambiente costero de Fukuoka y crea una agradable sensación a la vista, aunque quizás se excede en efecto de brillo dejando ver muy seguido el reflejo de los rayos solares, pero de alguna forma resulta ameno ese efecto, Las batallas son muy fluidas, el dibujo no tiene defectos notables y la frecuencia de dibujos se mantiene muy estable.

    • Sonido y musica: Hemos llegado a mi punto favorito. La música que decora esta serie es magnífica, por darle el mínimo calificativo, la banda sonora es un mix de estilo Jazz plagado de trompetas que añade un plus a las escenas de comedia y acompaña de muy buena manera las escenas de acción, los temas principales tiene mucho de este mismo estilo, especialmente el Ending: DIRTY BULLET, de TRI4TH, un trabajo de jazz rápido, trepidante y con la batería batallando el protagonismo con una muy bien construida trompeta. Este es uno de los endings que más me han gustado en muchísimo tiempo, por ser tan original y por la calidad musical que tiene. Por su parte el opening de la serie: Stray de Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi utiliza una formula de Jrock mezclado con jazz y algún toque punk para iniciar con gran fuerza cada episodio, resultando satisfactorio en cada ocasión, por lo que varios veces me dejé llevar por su ritmo y agité la cabeza como tanto como pude ─menos mal ya la terminé, ya me duele el cuello...

    La Relación entre Lin y Banba es probablemente el aspecto más cómico de la serie.


    Conclusión:

    Una serie que tenía el potencial de ocupar un espacio en mi olimpo pero que pierde demasiados puntos al tornarse muy repetitiva y predecible en los momentos de tensión, que debían haber sido el punto fuerte. Sin embargo el buen humor ─muy negro─, los interesante personajes y el trasfondo de la historia son suficiente gancho como para hacerte verla hasta el final sin sufrir por ello, y si añadimos el apartado artístico, esta serie es una obra maestra que pudo ser... pero no fue.

    Historia: 10 - Argumento: 6 - Narrativa: 8 - Arte y animación: 10 - Sonido y Música: 10 -Total: 9.0 (Excelente)

  3. Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens@voxxe3012d

    Murder for money, competing mafia's, corrupt politicians, and ineffectual police– Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens has it all. The title literally means a locality's specialty pork noodle bowl, it has a second meaning, the equivalent of New York's 'melting-pot,' in other-words, something for everyone. Dark comedy is not a typical genre, but it's one I enjoy. Like many anime series, the most noticeable change from the start to the end, is the strengthening of friendships between the main character and the secondary supporting characters. The protagonist becomes a member of the baseball team, and the after-game team. Good entertainment.

  4. Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens Anime Review@filotasriza33041d

    source

    It's been quite some time since i have started a new anime but better late that never! Although i watch a couple of other anime as well as some series i am always in search for more so if you have any suggestions go ahead and do so.  Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens was actually a suggestion too that i saw in a comment through an anime site. Most of the times (or most likely never) i don't bother reading comments when i am watching an anime or a show cause of the many fanboys out there that get in my nerves. This time though reading that comment made me search a bit more about this anime.

    General Info

    As i already mentioned the anime is called Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens and it will have 12 23mins episodes it total. By now only 9 are out. It is a brand new anime that aired during the winter season at January 12 of 2018. The producers behind that anime are quite many like Sotsu, Warner Bros, KlockWorx, Tokyo MX and many more and the studio is called Satelight. Satelight studio has been a studio for many anime including Fairy Tail, Log Horizon and Hellsing Ultimate. 

    Aside from all the above that anime came from a light Novel. There can be different sources and ''roads'' for anime like manga, light novels, comic or even they can just start out directly as anime. It is an action one and if i can add it's one of those that use some brain behind any actions but i'll explain that later.  

    Story-Plot

    Did the title confused you a bit? It sure confused me as i expected something that has to do with food and ramen as the title suggests. This is where the comment i read made me wanna dive into it. I had the thought that it will be another food related anime that wanna take the lights out of shokugeki no soma but imagine my surprise when i heard it's about hitmen.

    So the story sets in Fukuoka a Japanese city that is rumored to has a 3% of her population work as assassins, hitmen,murderers, informants etc etc. The city looks like any normal city in our world but the show wanna point out the ''things'' that leave under it's surface. In that city a murder of a detective takes place and detective Banba wanna find out more of what's going on.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCptfKA7RmY

    trailer

    Note that hitmen are so common that they have whole corporations full of them that anybody can go to and hire some of them. At the same time we introduced to Saitou a new hitman that has never kill a person who needs to go to Fukuoka to kill a target. Another one is the chinese Ling Xianming another hitman that likes to dress up as a girl ( blame japan :P ) trying to make more and more money out of targets and jobs he has in order to become ''free'' from the organization he works for. 

    There are a bunch of others that we get to meet during the first episode but don't worry, they take part in each episode and they have distinctive figures and characters that you gonna remember them all. So what happens is that Ling's target dies out of another hitman resulting in a huge loss of money while at the same time detective learns more about that underworld. Soon they meet each other as someone wants him dead and hire Ling for that but Ling is requesting his previous money in order to execute the order and the show goes on.

    Is it Worth?

    I wouldn't put that anime into my Top ones but it's not bad either. If you want something good to see in your spare time that won't last long the go and watch it. If you have better things to do then move on with your regular program. There are a couple of fighting scenes and some bloody and messy ones too that are actually quite good and i enjoyed them. 

    Don't expect anything fancy like superpowers, you are in the hitmen world and more accurately in the real world were people just use knives, swords,guns and bombs. I think they want to show us the hidden reality between every large city and that not everything that shines is gold. 

    What i liked a lot is that it can easily become a movie or a series. If you remember i said that i will explain later the ''brain'' thing i mentioned above. In this anime everything that happens has a logic behind it and a plan. It's not like we see in other anime a straight fight between the strongest. No in here everyone has it's role and merging all those roles together a master plan is born. From hacking to switching bodies and from hidden guns to tracking down others , this anime has it all!
