Nananas Buried Treasure 220https://i.ur.com/t9IOZYe.jpg Is one of those anime that you either hate it or you love it. It grows on you as the season kept on going. By the end I was looking for many answers. What happens next? The answer could easy be find online but the sad truth is that the light novels have not been translated to English so our only hope is for the future. Regardless this is a hidden gem in all sense of the word because of the simple fact it is an Indiana jones movie. Summary: Nananas starts with the protagonist Juugo Yama arriving on the island Nanaejima to continue his study on the island many research orientated schools. He arrives at his new home where he meets a remarkably interesting roommate. The lovely pudding loving Nana but he soon realizes there is much more to his new roommate. https://i.ur.com/7RzAudL.gif This is where his journey begins where he embarks to look for Nanas treasure which are treasure that are hidden in ancient ruins and they hold amazing powers. Some examples are glasses that allows the user to copy the fighting style of anyone a lie detector etc. 200https://i.ur.com/SsTf9Bh.png 200https://i.ur.com/rZt7U8a.png What it does Right: https://i.ur.com/VDGGBnH.png The anime is visually appealing especially when it comes to the ruins the treasure are being kept at. The premise is amazingly simple it is a treasure hunt and it fits the story and nowhere in it is 11 episodes does it feel repetitive. Personally it kept me engage because it got me interested if the next treasure would help the protagonist come closer in keeping his promise to Nana. What it does wrong: Other that Nana the other characters are kind of bland with most of them having very clich motives especially the main character. The villain is a letdown and is only introduced much later in the season. Not to mention the anime leaves in a cliffhanger and with little potential for a season 2 the best bet is to look up the ending if you are not able to read Japanese. Characters: Juugo Yama: 400https://i.ur.com/j3DS9EF.png A seemingly normal protagonist at first until you realize there is more to him that meets the eye. He has a moral compass with a set of skills to match but that is where his character stops. Throughout the series we see that he does want to help Nana but the reason is bland and overused. His backstory not so compelling and predictable. Overall a carbon copy of other protagonist. Nanana Ryuugajou: 400https://i.ur.com/w6YfZqz.gif The main female protagonist and the only the one that matters in my opinion. She is the one who proposed on finding the island and the one who found the Nana treasure conveniently called after her. She is a pudding lover gamer that stays at home and can kick your ass if need be. She grows on you slowly and by the end you will be shedding a single tear for her. Tensai Ikkyuu: 400https://i.ur.com/dNN1qsZ.gif A detective that will put Sherlock Holmes to shame. Just a imagine a loli with the capacity to solve any case puzzle or any complicated problem in seconds. Not to mention she knows she is smart and is not afraid to stick in your face. You will either love her cockiness or come to find it a little annoying because she constantly reminds you throughout the whole season she is the greatest detective that ever lived. Conclusion: As the saying says you get what you pay for and this no more apparent in Nananas Buried Treasure. You get a treasure hunting anime that goes under many radars for the simple fact that it did not sell well. I am here to tell you it is worth a watch it delivers in the aspect being visually appealing and a somewhat interesting story. A lovable cast but annoying at sometimes. Which all turns to a gem that needs to be experience once. Which gets: https://i.ur.com/vaKVuBs.jpg Have you watch It what do you think about it share your thoughts. Remember stay hungry and otakus for life. See you on the next Accelerated Reviews
