I’m not going to lie, the first few episodes had me bite my lips a few times. So begins his quest to find the legendary Radiant, the origins of the Nemesis. A young man named Seth survived the catastrophe and vows to hunt down the Nemesis as a Sorcerer and one day hope to bring peace in their world. Known as “Nemesis”, they are creatures with catastrophic powers that fell into the world of humanity and causing devastating damage. The story takes place in a fictional world where monsters exists. Not to be judgmental but I think it’s pretty clear that Radiant is aimed for a wider audience. Artwork resembles shounen style characters with a fantasy world setting and even the speech patterns. As a French comic, there’s actually not much difference to tell between this and Japanese manga. Now with that mushy stuff out of the way, you mayīe wondering what exactly is Radiant.
THE RADIANT ONE SERIES
I’m not going to go into the French series to look and compare every episode to see what was wrong with it. For the sake of this review, it will be based from an anime viewer’s perspective. From the beginning, I’ve heard of comments about how the anime changed the tone of the story and even the way the main protagonist has been adapted into it. This isn’t one of those anime that will meet our expectations by adaptation standards. Oh no, Radiant isn’t a perfect adaptation! What has the world come to?! Those who thought "I could enjoy a show like this" when reading this review most likely will.

I am not familiar with the source material so I can't speak on the behalf of those who wanted a loyal adaptation, but as an anime only watcher, this type of light series with its fresh approach was exactly what I needed. Never expected to like this series so much. Naturally, Melie's hair takes 90% of the screen whenever she is there, but it can be forgiven for it is the fluffiest piece of hair seen in anime. The simplicity of the animation is a pleasure to watch. Soft, fluffy and cute are things that were prioritized in design. Some bigger names are here along less-known seiyuus, but they all do good job, meaning if they stand out they only do so because their work is so pleasant to listen.īright color pallet. Melie's seiyuu work is amazing be she making a weird, untranslatable anime sound or going nuts with her other personality, it all delivers. They play goddamn jazz during coffee drinking scenes. Most of the cast members are super happy and positive which again, further adds to the CGDCT-like style.

The good part being that the characters still feel genuine and are practically never used as comedic devices or fanservice figures in the series, excluding some animation scenes that use some commonly seen goofs, but these are not really executed with character behavior, just movement. The light comedic approach also can be seen to effect the cast which ultimately serves the idea of the show. The side casting contains no annoying archetypes or contrarian buttholes which is all for the better. Seth is more generic shonen lead except he doesn't yell all that much and his morals aren't there to ruin the fun. Split personality girl with ridiculously well-planned character design, and characteristics and behavior that serves her cuteness. Melie is so quality she end up being my main reason for enjoying this series so much. I can't help but to be reminded of Sketch Dance when seeing this cast. However, those who have wished for a series that is somewhat like "cute girls doing cute things" from its style/approach but wanted to see this being implemented inside fighting tournament shonen story line, will see how their prayers are answered here and now, and without a doubt there will never be a series quite like this one as an alternative. Those who are looking for a meaningful story or epic writing stuff won't find any from here. Its strong sides lie within the light comedy and world building. Slow paced, generic plot points, overall over half of the series is slice of life. Seth: I met a girl during this episode, her name is Melie.Ĭlassic shonen. Is this what they call false advertisement? Me: Is this the wrong cover picture? Am I not watching the right series? I was promised waifu material. Of cool stuff going on in this anime such as. So, anyway, there is this guild thing and the legendary Radiant, evil people lurking around the corners and all sort Me: Listen to me, Natsu! She has like really huge hair and green-ish eyes. Commoners hate us sorcerers and there is also. Seth: This is the state of the world pretty much. Me: Yeah yeah I know who you're, Naruto or whatever your name was. Seth: I am Seth and I want to be the best wizard in the world.
