Taboo Tattoo

Painting night, so I benched another anime series while painting (understanding japanese helps a great deal in this) and today it was Taboo Tattoo, a 12 episode series.

It was a bit of a weird experience to be honest, as the show drastically changes tone midseason...

After saving a homeless man from some thugs, Seigi receives a strange tattoo from the man as a gift. This act leads to a series of events that will pull Seigi into the middle of a conflict between a special U.S. Army unit and the Kingdom of Selinistan, as both are scrambling to collect powerful "spell crests" called Power Crests, weaponized ancient artifacts of great power which can shift the balance of power in the world.

This makes that the show starts out as a regular hero vs villain punch up show, like so many.  But halfway through, the greater cause comes to the fore and it becomes a hero tries to save the world show from gigantic monsters.

Odd, not bad, but odd...

And now I`m going to rewatch some Gundam shows, as the current anime seasons are still lacking any decent mecha shows, before I get a total withdrawal...
