The appeal and reviews of Build Divide -#000000-Build Divide -#000000- (hereafter referred to as Build Divide) is a TV anime series that aired from October 10 to December 26, 2021. The anime is based on the original Build Divide series by Homura Kawamoto and Hikaru Takeno. It was directed by Yuki Komada, produced by LIDEN FILMS and produced by Aniplex, and aired on TOKYO MX and BS11 in a 30-minute slot every Sunday from 12:30 am, with a total of 12 episodes. Story and worldviewBuild Divide is set in a near-future world where a system called Neurolink has become widespread. This system connects people's brains to the digital world, making it possible to instantly share a variety of information. However, at the same time, a new game called Build Divide, which uses Neurolink, has appeared, and players must risk their lives to play this game. The protagonist, Kaito Kirishima, joins Build Divide to save his childhood friend, Sakuraba Sakura. Build Divide is a game in which players fight through card battles, and the winner is given the privilege of having their wish granted. Kaito and his friends will aim to reach the top of Build Divide in order to save Sakura. Characters and castThe characters in Build Divide are unique, each with their own background and goals. The main character, Kaito Kirishima, is a brave boy who challenges Build Divide to save his childhood friend Sakura, and is voiced by Yuki Kaji. Sakuraba Sakura, the girl who inspired him to join Build Divide, is voiced by Inori Minase. Many other characters also appear in the world of Build Divide, and each voice actor delivers a wonderful performance. Animation and visualsThe visuals of Build Divide are a testament to LIDEN FILMS' technical prowess. In particular, the card battle scenes are a visually stunning combination of dynamic direction and beautiful animation. The character designs are also sophisticated, with each character's individuality clearly expressed. Music and SoundThe music for Build Divide features a number of impressive artists, including LiSA, who is in charge of the opening theme "ZERO," and ReoNa, who is in charge of the ending theme "Ryusei." Many of the background music tracks match the worldview of Build Divide, and they play a role in evoking emotions in the viewers. The voice actors' performances are also excellent, conveying the characters' emotions realistically. Evaluation and ImpressionsBUILD DIVIDE is a work that fuses all elements such as story, characters, animation, and music at a high level. In particular, the story development that makes use of the theme of card battles is very interesting and has the power to draw the viewer in. In addition, the character growth and changes in relationships are carefully depicted, making it easy to empathize with the work.
