The BGM helps, it's nicely chosen and adds a lot to the different settings and places the anime takes.Īgain, making a prequel about an iconic character with a very disctintive personality is hard.
The series itself has a dark tone, neccesary for the character, but it's easy to watch.įor me, the best opening this season. It's easier to draw a magical utopia than a realistic Vietnam era anime, trying to be accurate with technology and clothing, but that doesn't seem like a problem in YBJ. Maybe a 24 episode anime would have been better, but in 12 episodes they Set in the Vietnam war, in a convulsed Japan, Hazama goes through a lot in order to become the dark character we know. It's hard to make a prequel about one of the most iconic characters in anime and don't ruin the story, but luckily, that didn't happen with YBJ.Īn adult medical drama is a breath of frsh air amidst so many highschool harems, ecchi or overpowered characters.īeing a sequel there are some limitations, you must tie this to the original, but as an origin story YBJ is really great.
