About ISLAND

ISLAND arrives as a drama anime by feel. (2018), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Urashima, an island far from the mainland. The people who live there lead carefree lives.

Beyond that: Five years ago, the island's three great families suffered a series of misfortunes, and succumbed to suspicion. The people of the island cut off all contact with the mainland, and began a slow decline. The key to saving the island lies in three girls who belong to the three families.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Rinne Ohara (Yukari Tamura) and Karen Kurutsu (Kana Asumi) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
