Review of Deca-Dence

I'm not crying ... you are. Do not skip out on this masterpiece! The plot description on MAL doesn't do this show justice. Not only does this show look good... this show delivers one hell of a plot. Full of twists and turns. Set in the far flung future where the humans are near enough extinct. We follow the moving city of Deca-Dence. I got extreme Mortal Engines vibes from the first episode...but unlike that train wreck... this show delivered . The world of Deca-dence is plagued by Gadoll... which attack the fortress... but not everything is what it seems. ....We follow Natsume as we tumbledown the futuristic rabbit hole...
And the plot twists keep on coming. I've seen it compared to AOT... but after seeing it myself Its only slight similarities that the two share...namely the fight for survival and tearing down old systems.
The show is confusing ...but by the end everything clicks into place... so its deliberately done and not down to poor writing. The show carefully takes time sowing seeds that all line up in the very end.
The show does suspense well. And character development... I wasn't expecting to feel the feels...but the final episode got me.
The sound is great ... the world feels alive it has a vibe from its sound. The use of bagpipes to during more emotional moments is great.
The light as well is beautiful... the beautiful landscapes and sprawling visuals alongside sunsets is perfect. The diesel punk aesthetic is handled great <3 and the tanker town and Deca-Dence itself is beautifully put together. You can see how much hard work the design and art teams put into creating the world.
Its been awhile since I have seen an anime so brilliantly put together. And I feel bad for missing out on it whilst it aired.... but you too have the luxury of binge watching this.

Bottom line - WATCH THIS SHOW YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED JUST STICK WITH THE TWISTYNESS !!! IT PAYS OFF.
