Amatsuki English Sub & Dub

About Amatsuki

Amatsuki (あまつき) arrives as an action anime by Studio DEEN (2008), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: Tokidoki is a Japanese high school learner who, when he fails his history class, is sent to a high-tech history museum that virtually recreates the Edo period to do make-up work. However, what was supposed to be a simple school project becomes much more complicated when he's attacked by two supernatural beings known as "the nue" and "the yakou" and loses the vision in his left eye.

Soon after, after he's saved from the nue by a girl named Kuchiha, he realizes that he's no longer wearing the simulation goggles, and is trapped in the virtual Edo.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Kon Shinonome (Kouji Yusa) and Tokidoki Rikugou (Jun Fukuyama) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Studio DEEN is the studio behind Amatsuki, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.4/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Kouji Yusa voicing Kon Shinonome gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2008, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
