The appeal and evaluation of the third season of "Golden Kamuy"

Golden Kamuy is a TV anime series based on the popular manga of the same name by Satoru Noda. We will be taking a closer look at the third season, which aired from October 5 to December 21, 2020. The series aired for 30 minutes every Monday from 11:00 p.m. on TOKYO MX, STV, and other networks, with a total of 12 episodes. Animation was produced by Geno Studio and production was handled by the Golden Kamuy Production Committee, and the series has succeeded in bringing out the charm of the original work to the fullest.

Story and Characters

The story of "Golden Kamuy" is set in Hokkaido during the Meiji era and depicts the adventure and survival of a search for legendary gold. The protagonist, Saichi Sugimoto, sets out on a journey to find the gold in order to carry out the wishes of his war comrades. His partner, an Ainu girl named Asirpa, travels with Sugimoto to avenge her father's death. The two overcome many obstacles while confronting various forces that are after the gold.

In the third season, the story deepens even further, with the characters' backgrounds and relationships depicted in greater detail. In particular, Asirpa's growth and the episodes of Sugimoto's past leave a strong impression on viewers. Also, don't miss the appearance of new characters and the discovery of new sides to existing characters. For example, the unique character settings of the escapees and the conflicts between their pasts and presents add depth to the story.

Animation and performance

Geno Studio's animation faithfully reproduces the realistic touch of the original work while incorporating movements and expressions unique to anime. In particular, the depiction of Hokkaido's nature and Ainu culture is beautiful and full of visual appeal. The battle scenes skillfully express tension and speed, drawing the viewer in.

Director Hitoshi Namba respects the atmosphere of the original work, but adds his own unique touch to the anime to provide viewers with a fresh experience. For example, flashback scenes and psychological portrayals delve deeper into the characters' inner lives, helping to understand the story. Music and sound effects are also important elements that add excitement to the story, enriching the viewing experience.
