#Radiant anime s1 series#

For anyone whom has even heard and/or seen Magi (yours truly included), most of them would consider the series to be the her crème de la crème, pièce de résistance of a work, and to think that it has been almost 10 years (as of this review) with If you have absolutely no idea who mangaka Shinobu Ohtaka is, go do yourself a service to read and watch Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic series. If I have to sum Orient in one sentence, it would be this: A prolific mangaka's fall from grace, and what worse than karma to make a horrible adaptation out of it. Recovering from humiliation and yearning for adventure, Musashi embarks on a journey to become a samurai and form his own clan! As the demon leader wreaks havoc on the quarry, Musashi is saved once more from certain death by the Takeda samurai clan.

However, Musashi manages to endure thanks to Kojirou's help. When the fresh graduates arrive at the mine, they are horrified to see the inhumane treatment of miners and the uncanny physical appearance of their overseers. Hiding his true opinion from his peers and growing distant from his childhood friend Kojirou Kanemaki, Musashi lives in angst until the day of his graduation.

Fated to mine rocks for the demons to feast on, Musashi knows the grim truth: humanity is enslaved by these otherworldly beings and the samurai are the last bastion fighting for freedom. Freed from the rule of samurai 150 years ago, the people of Hinomoto live peaceful lives and revere their liberators-demons whose true forms remain elusive-as gods.
