Topic	Robazoid Ranks 275 Anime and Top 100 Anime Characters 2 (Average and beyond)
Robazoid 10/02/22 3:16:18 AM #269:	(I apologize for the super late third write-up. Weekends have been bad for me lately!) 105. Kokkoku https://myanimelist.net/anime/36548/Kokkoku Winter 2018 (12 episodes) My Score: 6/10, MAL Score: 7.00/10 Best Character: Yukawa Juri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhBA6ynorvc Premise: When Yakawa Juris nephew is kidnapped with a ransom demand for money the family doesnt have, they use a mystical stone to stop time. A hostile group follows them into the frozen moment, however, and there are things about this strange world that none of them understand. The Good: Kokkoku is a supernatural drama set almost entirely in a single moment. I really love the mysterious concept of a stone that can freeze time. Various members of the Yukawa family head into the world of Stasis thinking itll be a foolproof way to stop some kidnappers, but of course it isnt that easy and not everything is as it seems. An impressive amount of history about the setting gets explored throughout the season. There are unknown rules and weird supernatural aspects to the world. Its just such a unique concept, and the kidnapping plot is an excellent way to explore it because the stakes are clear right away and remain important even as things start getting weirder. I liked pretty much all the characters, but Juri was my favorite. The Bad: The pacing felt a bit disjointed at times, though not enough to ruin the story or anything. The much bigger problem was that some things came down to blind luck or deus ex machina, which is always unsatisfying compared to the characters smartly figuring a way out of their predicament. Overall: I really enjoyed Kokkoku for its unique premise and the fact that it tells a self-contained story while still exploring all the weirdness of the setting. Sadly, there are times where the pacing is off, and the writing often relies on luck to make things work. Its still a solid anime, but this is the kind of thing that couldve jumped into my personal favorites if it were handled a bit better. COMING UP TOMORROW: 104: A flying saucer looms over this anime. 103: This anime is on the verge of closing down. C29: This character will do anything to save the place they love. --- R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D <cite>Robazoid posted [p:968431313] in Robazoid R...
