DESCRIPTION

After a certain mishap, the brilliant but socially inept engineer Apare Sorano and the shrewd but cowardly samurai Kosame Isshiki find themselves drifting on a boat from Japan to America. Broke, the two decide to compete in the Trans-America Wild Race to win the prize and return to Japan. The two battle crazy rivals, outlaws, and the great outdoors itself as they race through the wild West from the starting line in Los Angeles to the finish line in New York - in the steam-powered car they built.

Adventure of the japanese in the Wild West
Review contain spoiler scenes

8 years after Tari Tari, Masakazu Hashimoto returned to the adjoining role of screenwriter and director. It's time to break off the series of unsuccessful animes by P.A.Works Studio.
By changing the original concept of sports and adding personal interest - racing, the director made a anime filled with templates, but nevertheless pleasant.

After the third episode, the show went on a break because of Covid. On return, the fourth episode delighted with a moment from Takatsugu Umeda, an effects specialist.

The end of the 19th century, a race through the territory of the still wild West. Although, the historical setting here takes second place, giving way to a fun adventure. Appare (Senkuu) makes a car-boat, invents segway, a samurai friend beats off a bullet with a katana and participates in a cucumber cutting competition. A fleeting meeting with Thomas Edison, a visit to the American hot springs - an adventure generously for fun.
General absurdity is quite entertaining and, most importantly, does not cross the line of tolerable absurdity.

And all this with the support of good animation.
_I have no idea how hard it was with this design_
The design turned out to be unsuccessful. Trying to keep up with the general atmosphere, it came out overloaded, too bright and repulsive.

Like, does MC really need these bandages, aquagrim?

The backgrounds were not impressed. There is a lack of Higashidzhi Kazuki, a frequent participant in the PA's work.

The backgrounds of Easter Studio are not bad either, but they still can't reach him, and in the spring season they had a bigger job.

It wasn't bad in general, such an ordinary anime, the plot of which you have seen more than once in other guises, but it knows how to entertain and does it.
Next in line for the studio is a new project of Maeda Jun, which will definitely be more popular. Appare will be forgotten, but I would like to note that this is the first successful original project of P.A. Works after the unsuccessful two seasons of Fairy Gone, Irozuku Sekai and Sirius the Jaeger.
