Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Geno Studio, so the studio's house style defines how KOKKOKU looks and moves on screen. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Asami Seto as Shouko Majima, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2018, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
