Fumetsu no Anata e (To Your Eternity) is my Most Anticipated Anime for Spring 2021. But why I'm excited to this despite of other much more popular upcoming anime? And what's so special about this? I just hope that other manga readers wouldn't spoil this one because the surprises and twists in story will be ruined if the result will be spoiled by those people who feel a lot more superior just because they know what will happen.
Well then before its official release lets talk what to expect in this anime.
1. It is a work of Yoshitoki Ōima
Yoshitoki Ōima is one of the most special person in anime because she is the one who created A Silent Voice. Fumetsu Anata e is her second work but all I can say is she's a genius. A Silent Voice caught our hearts with its very realistic story. So it is very refreshing to see the other side of Yoshitoki Ōima in terms of story making since Fumetsu Anata e is a Supernatural genre. But what is very interesting is the feels are same despite of the difference in genre.
2. Top Tier Story
Fumetsu Anata e is shounen. And we all know that this genre is hard to compete since shounen is getting more and more generic because of story that are based from other anime. But what makes Fumetsu Anata e different is it focuses more on Drama. I didn't expect that adding Drama in Shounen anime will result in this kind of story. If you've watched A Silent Voice then you can expect the same feels or even more in this anime.
3. Came from Award Winning Manga
How good if the story of Fumetsu Anata e? Will it just won an award for Best Shonen Manga in 43rd annual Kodansha Manga Awards in 2019. I can confirm this because the manga is really good. The twists and turns is just unexpected and will linger into your mind for a while until you move on. For me, it is one of those unique shounen or maybe even much better than most shounen that exist.
4. Good Animation
I can't actually confirm how good the animation is. It is created by Brain's Base Studio. This studio is responsible for other good anime like In/Spectre, Gakuen Babysitters, Kiss Him Not Me, Servamp and the First Season of Oregairu. The animation in these anime is actually average. Not worse and not overwhelmingly good either. But if you base it in trailer I guess we have to doubt this studio. Maybe they will bring their aces in this anime. It is really good. The details, the music and even the use of colors in just excellent. If the whole quality of the entire series is just the same in the trailer, then this anime will be the next masterpiece.
5. Roller Coaster Emotions
Just brace your self in this epic ride of emotions. Don't forget the drama genre because it will definitely surprise you. The first season will be the season you'll never expect in a shounen anime and probably you'll never forget this one. There are times that will make you smile, laugh, cry and even makes you think what life really means. What does immortality understand the value of life and death is. All I can say is brace your self in this masterpiece.
The first episode will air on April 12, 2021. I suggest you to ready tons of tissues cause you'll definitely need it in the first episode.
