The Casual Otageek: Anime Review: Taboo Tattoo

After life threw me with so many distractions.. Finally!! I get to make this review. Took me some time.

*DISCLAIMER*
I'm gonna to try to review the new anime for this season as I go within the coming days. As such, reviews and expectations may change depending on how far the series progresses. Take note that I usually NEVER read manga or light novels of the original series so cut me some slack... That is why this is blog is called "CASUAL" otageek. These are personal reviews only and not made to mock the series themselves. All rights go to creators of the series/anime.

Taboo Tattoo is an ongoing manga series published by Media Factory. The anime production is spear headed by J.C. Staff., the studio that brought Shakugan no Shana (a classic, but personally disliked the 3rd season) and Shokugeki no Soma (review may come up soon).
The opening "Belief" is sung by May'n. Many of her songs are used in Accel World, Hidan no Aria and Macross Frontier.

Story centers on a young middle school student, Justice "Seigi" Akatsuka, whom after saving a homeless man from thugs, receives a mysterious tattoo.

The next day, he gets attacked by by a young girl named Izzy. After the fight, he gets involved in a power struggle involving tattoos that grant mysterious and dangerous powers to its wielders that will forever change his life.

Seigi Akatsuka is voiced by Makoto Furukawa. Haikyu fans might recognize him as Yutaro Kindaichi and everyone loves Saitama for obvious reasons. Izzy or Bluesy Fluesy is voiced by Mikako Komatsu, known for her roles as Asako of Ushio to Tora and Seishiro Tsugumi of Nisekoi.
Hmmm... Saitama and Tsumugi... Oh well...

The short synopsis above is what first episode is about in a nutshell. That and he suddenly has tattoo power that doesn't require a trigger to activate it. Could this mean the hero is OP at first? Well, he is well versed in martial arts. Not sure if this is harem or not but I like the animation of this anime. Characters are well drawn, action is fast paced, and I'm expecting good things from Seigi's character development who is weak at first but gets stronger as the series progresses.

I would recommend this shounen anime to you guys. Action at the start with good animation. Pacing is a bit fast for the first episode to be honest but this series is still starting so who knows what happen...

And of course it has this...
