About Cencoroll

Here is what Cencoroll (センコロール) is about, retold in plain terms: an action and sci-fi anime (2009). In short: When a gigantic, unearthly monster suddenly looms on the skyline of a Japanese town, the expected occurs—the Japan Self-Defense Forces roll out the tanks while the public panics. Nobody knows what it is or where it came from, but Yuki, a bold and inquisitive teenage girl, has a hidden but might be a useful clue.

As things develop, her ally Tetsu has been clandestinely caring for a bizarre creature called Cenco, which will soon prove itself to have some remarkable, even impossible characteristics. Another teenage boy, a stranger with some unexplained link to the monstrosity attacking the town, shows up, and his unwelcome interest in Tetsu's pet snuffs out any doubt of a connection—and lights the fuse for the coming.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Yuki (Kana Hanazawa) and Tetsu Amamiya (Hiro Shimono) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Kana Hanazawa voicing Yuki gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 2009, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
