About Conception

Meet Conception, an action, adventure and fantasy anime by Gonzo (2018). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: On his high school graduation day, Itsuki's cousin, Mahiru, tells him that she's pregnant. Just then, a gate of light emerges and transports the two into the realm of Granvania.

Further in, in this land, "Impurities" have been causing a disturbance to the Stars, ultimately plunging Granvania into chaos and disorder. Itsuki, now revealed to be one who is fated to meet with the "Star Maidens," is seen as Granvania's last hope and was thus given the task to produce "Star Children" and combat the "impurities. Unless the task is complete, Itsuki may never be able to return home.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.
