■ In-depth review

"Wild 7 Another: Plot Canal" recreates the tension and thrill of the original work in the medium of anime, while also taking a new perspective and digging deeper into the characters. In particular, the character setting of Hapo adds depth to the story by utilizing the element of amnesia. By depicting his past and present conflicts, as well as his bonds with his friends, viewers can feel his growth and battles more realistically.

As you can see from the subtitles of each episode, the story maintains a sense of tension throughout. From episode 1, "Seajack," to episode 13, "Endless Battle...," viewers are drawn into the story, constantly predicting what will happen next. In particular, episodes 6, "Charge," and 10, "Sudden Turn of Events," in which the success and failure of the operation are intertwined, leave a strong impression on viewers.

The individuality of each character is also one of the attractions. Each character has their own story, such as Look's calmness, Hampen's skill with a motorcycle and a gun, 4Ton's past trauma, Dantotsu's desire to bounce back, Rap's hidden talent, and Shuuden's growth. The growth of these characters and their teamwork have a big impact on the progress of the story.

Don't miss the mechanical design either. Bikes and firearms that reflect the individuality of each character, such as Tobiha's CBF750, Lux's V-MAX, and Hampen's Harley Davidson V-ROD, make an appearance and liven up the action scenes. In particular, Tobiha's Colt Woodsman and Hampen's COP 357 MAG are important items that heighten the tension in the battle scenes.

Music is also an important element in enhancing the atmosphere of the work. Music director Tetsuo Kanno and Hiroshi Motokura's music effectively create tense and moving scenes. In particular, the background music in battle scenes draws the viewer in and adds depth to the story's development.
