(CR) Taboo-Tattoo

[Stark700]

Plot Summary:

The manga follows Justice Akazuka (nickname Seigi), a young man who is good at martial arts. Seigi rescues a homeless old man on the street one day from some thugs, and the man gives Seigi an object that imprints a tattoo on his palm. However, it is not an ordinary tattoo, but a special weapon that gives Seigi supernatural powers such as warping space-time. Seigi then meets a female American agent named Ijii, whose duty is to recover the tattoos. Seigi decides to help her and gets wrapped up in a cross-national conspiracy.

"The wraparound jacket on the ninth volume of Shinjirō's Taboo-Tattoo manga announced on Friday that an anime adaptation is in the works."

There are about 33 translated chapters right now based on the manga although I think there are more raws out there. Kinda curious to see how this will be adapted though since it has potential with the premise. Some of the style of the series combines martial arts with shounen action. And there's also a bit of mystery going on regarding the characters and overlay of the story.

Taboo-Tattoo's French Publisher: Anime Will Air in 2015

The Facebook page for Doki-Doki, the manga imprint of French publisher Bamboo Édition, reported on Friday that the anime adaptation of Shinjirō's Taboo-Tattoo manga will air in Japan this year. The manga's publisher in France also teased that it may know more details about the anime that have yet to be announced.

They really need to get their French publishers to shut up. The one for Shokugeki no Soma leaked its airing date too.

Granted, announcing the anime this early in the year meant that a Summer or Fall airing was easily possible, but still.

Episode 1:

Well...I got some mixed feelings about the episode. It was fun to watch and production quality (both animation and soundtrack) is good. However, the timing of the comedy...one minute characters are fighting a battle of life and death, the next minute, we got comedic faces out of nowhere. Hope they lessen those comedic moments.

Meanwhile, there's also obviously something going on about the tattoos, guess we'll have to find out more as there seems to be more users. Justice also has some decent fighting skills so I'm glad to see that he isn't a wimp. Bluesy Fluesy though? Really? The show has some of the most awkward names lol

[Freeter]

Since David Pro's too busy with Jojo, this has become the unofficial sequel to Bento

The fights look decent, but I'll reserve full judgment until JC proves they can last the whole season without any slideshows. The gags are somewhat excessive, but in a show where the MC's last name is actually 'Justice' I'm just going to shut my brain off like with Big Order and enjoy the ride.

Now to wait for the inevitable JC beach episode with requisite surfer battle

Hmm let's see:

-Nice animation
-Nice action and fights
-Nice OP and ED
-Nice VA

Those are the good points of the first episode, now the pacing was so fast that I cannot enjoy this in a proper way, they went from one thing to another without explanations of introductions of the characters, or even giving some time to know what is going on. I read tha manga and I feel like this is ok, at least for now, but I hope they fix this terrible pacing soon.

[Seihai]

I came in with no expectation or knowledge. I was surprised... kinda. In a positive way. I agree with Stark700, the art/animation and music is neat. I also like how they were able to fully introduce us their world and story within those 20 minutes without butchering or rushing it. Also, I for one welcome the comedy even if it happens during serious scenes. It reminds me of Gintama. You know, it has its serious arcs but it is never strange if it includes some whacky humor even when the situation is serious. I can laugh yet take it serious at the same time, it's not a contradiction to me at all.

Furthermore, the girls are cute. But wait, according to the ED it's full of them... ah, eh, I guess I shouldn't complain.

Said no one, ever, until now. Can't have too much humor if it's there to take the edge off, unless it's just unfunny and poorly done.

[Jerseykid]

Something about the way they present this is bothering my eyes. Like the way it moves or the way it's zoomed in or angled or something.

[Flower]

Well ... the first ep was not too bad - sure the story felt a bit rushed, but ... yeah. Not so bad. Will give the next few eps a try at least.

[Twi]

They splurged on the graphics during fights. And at least we're dealing with mostly professionals (though I question the Bunny's professionalism when her first inclination is to kick his teeth in) instead of a bunch of teenagers abruptly getting their hands on super-powers.

[FlareKnight]

That was a pretty solid first episode. Got into the world and a feel for the main cast. Interesting potential with the MC. Growing up with the desire to do the right thing like his father tried to. But also growing up with his grandfather basically putting his dad down for being too weak to live like that. Unfortunately in life there is no amount of training that will make you immortal or invulnerable. Bad things happen.

Izzy is a pretty fun character. Pretty darn horrible at tailing people, but also really darn tough. Plus, her confidence makes sense for someone who is older than she looks.
