With new Yaiba The anime is currently airing and has quickly proven to be one of the most impressive action performances of the year, medium You can also see suitable for releasing the original comics. While I’m a bit mixed in anime, it’s always neat to see older comics get new leases like this, and I’m at least a little curious about what’s the difference between the two. Of course, when it comes to visual adaptation, anime doesn’t have much to sneeze, and it looks as good as it is, is it worth letting the comics look through the comics here?
So far, I’ll say the answer is yes. Like anime, the premise of the comic is fairly simple, as it follows the escape of a jungle boy named Yaiba Who has been training to become a samurai with his father. After arriving in Japan unexpectedly, he became familiar with a girl named Sayaka and moved into her family Dojo. There he ended up competing with a young man named Onimaru, and as it escalated, Onimaru possessed a dangerous sword called Fujinken, which gave him a tremendous power, but gradually became ONI. As Onimaru decides to use his new power to conquer Japan, Yaiba Must master your own magical sword, called Raijinken, and try to crush Onimaru’s ambitions once and for all.
It’s a very simple battle, like anime, all delivered with the energy and comedy timing of quirky cartoons, as it rarely takes itself seriously and generally emphasizes gags to the role drama. However, the comics are largely differentiated from the shiny new anime counterpart. While the manic cartoon energy of anime tends to work for it, some of them come at the cost of the story as it quickly jumps from one plot to another, giving the character little room to breathe. However, the pace of the comic is more like what you expect from a traditional combat comic. The comics didn’t jump directly into his competition with Onimaru, but instead spent more time seeing Yaiba Adapting to life outside the jungle, we get several chapters that involve him doing things like a duel with a teacher so that he can join Sayaka’s class or after fighting wildlife, he learns how to fight against others in a kendo game. In the grand scheme of things, these stories are small, and I can understand why new animes are obscured, but they do help you gradually understand what makes you understand what Yaiba As a character, as the story changes from a duel with a wooden sword to magic, it helps provide a more natural level of upgrade.
Yaiba However, it is not the only character who benefits from the more progressive approach of the comics. Although Onimaru’s rise from a somewhat arrogant Kendo student to a full-blown Supperillain is still as sudden as anime, the comics do play more interactions between him and his family and seeing him in a normal normal relationship with his sister and grandpa, really makes the transformation more influential before becoming Oni. Even some Onimaru slaves like Mr. Frog had more time in the spotlight, and while these encounters were still largely laughing but laughing, there was enough creativity in combat and gags to make them mostly interesting.
Although the comics improvements help, Yaiba Still a very simple story, the characters are just as simple. While the comics feel a little better, there is nothing else to lock in except for the silly charm, which does make it feel a little empty Saint Seyah or Dragon Quest: Dai’s Adventure. This charm has also suffered from some outdated gags Yaiba Sayaka YaibaThe father occasionally joins in the same way. This makes it from frustrating to a little unsettling. The art of the comic also shows the age of many places as it maintains the look of a classic cartoon, and its action scenes usually flow well from panel to panel, but some of these panels may have too many hints of action and there are several points that are hard to follow what the character does. In the action sequence, the proportion of characters also sometimes significantly shifts from panel to panel, and while it doesn’t affect the flow of the comic too negatively, it manages to get distracted and gets me out of a little bit over the pages.
Despite some complaints, I had a great time Yaiba comics. It’s a very simple reading, and while it’s a very simple story, simplicity does give it an undeniable charm despite how certain elements of it feel. In this regard, even if I don’t like everything it does, it’s not hard to understand why this series is a classic. While the anime’s excellent animation does a great job of helping it stand out from its modern contemporaries and may become what most people tend to do, the comics have enough of their own advantages that I would say worth mentioning.
