Outside of some occasionally stiff animation and uninspired character designs, Crunchyroll's KainaoftheGreatSnowSea is a riveting dose of originality.
Kaina of the Great Snow Sea Score Details “Outside of some occasionally stiff animation and slightly uninspired character designs, Kaina of the Great Snow Sea is a riveting dose of originality.” Pros Cons Though the year has just started, 2023 is already poised to be an exciting one for the anime genre, but even with all the big-name IPs set to make waves, studio Polygon Pictures’ Kaina of the Great Snow Sea is a welcome change of pace.
As it’s laid out so far, the story is genuinely intriguing with a spiritual/supernatural mystery teased throughout the first four episodes. Humanity-wide disasters aren’t novel concepts in the sci-fi genre, but the way it’s presented in this anime is surprisingly creative. And perhaps more importantly, it does so without overwhelming the viewer with excessive exposition — an easy pitfall of these genres. The characters of Kaina do offer some meaningful explanations, but it also strikes just the right balance of the “show don’t tell” approach.
There can be some minor instances of stiff animation, especially in some of the action sequences. In addition, the clean art style of some of the characters’ faces, while designed well, verge on being too minimalistic to adequately gauge what emotion they are expressing in several dramatic moments. However, the CG animation is impressively fluid when it counts the most. Nothing about it takes you out of the story or its tantalizing world.
