About Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune

Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune (Yakitori) arrives as an action anime by ARECT (2023), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: Set in a future where the solar system is dominated by trade federations who are in constant conflict. In order to escape his restrictive homeland of Japan, and under the recommendation of his military cook companion Pupkin, Akira enlists in a trade federation orbital drop infantry unit.

Another thread: Such infantry are notorious for their 70% casualty rate, and are nicknamed "Yakitori" for their expendability.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
