https://anilist.co/anime/130591/SabikuiBisco/ Spoilers mentioned whenever needed Theres something fun seeing crazy stuff happening in front of our very eyes. We know its stupid dumb and sometimes even dangerous yet we maniacally embrace the madness and go on with it. Some of us have probably gave this Anime a watch after seeing the number of talented staff behind the production some mightve watched Anitubers reacting to the trailer but most of us mightve watched it after seeing that one scene in the trailer like me. This Anime is one crazy ride but problem is it couldve shouldve been more than it came out to be. Sabikui Bisco is an Anime that takes place in a postapocalyptic world where Rust causes life threatening infections can only be saved by fungus mostly mushrooms. A mushroom protector/criminal with a bow arrow named Bisco is searching for an almighty fungus named Sabikui aka Rust Eater to cure his mentors overly grown rust with his gaint crab. With him joins a kind doctor named Milo who also have a sister/Captain of Imihama Pawoo who also suffers with overly grown rust. Together Milo Bisco goes on a crazy journey in order to find the lengdary Rust Eater. Craziness has no limits in this Anime. It introduced all these weird elements to keep the craziness it promised that it never felt dull or boring while watching the show because of the adrenaline inducing chaos happening on the screen which was greatly enhanced by the absolute bop of a soundtrack. The soundtrack is definitely the strongest point for this show especially in the big moments. It punched through my ears and just BLASTED my brains off. The art style is another thing worth praising. The landscapes have this crisp rough layout while the character designs have this polished texture to them. The characters are pretty one note no one really have a well written development arc except for Milo who showed some growth. And the occasional references to other Anime was something that made me smile. My favorite character is Tirol shes cute. Other stuff I liked The most disappointing factor for this show is that while it is crazy it sometimes bends its own logic to bring that madness which mostly felt very unsatisfying. It couldve done better. And the writing for the show goes down hill as the series progresses. The nonlinear storytelling in the first couple of episodes was OK but can be a little off at times and the last couple of episodes just felt like the writer said Piss off to the writing and went completely mad which was somewhat good but I had to turn my brain off to completely enjoy it which wasnt even that rewarding. It had all the crazy fuel spilled all over but the spark it had wasnt enough to generate the crazy explosion it felt like it can. Simply put it raised the bar too high that it became a little disappointing. Summary This reminded me of Mad Max : Fury Road and thought this might it would be in Anime form if it didnt unsatisfied me with its dumb writing. I still recommend this tho. Its on the same level of craziness as Dorohedoro which I enjoyed equally as much but that had some better writing and characters than this one.
