Big Order

Big Order (ビッグオーダー) is a 10 episode fantasy action series based on the manga of the same name by Esuno Sakae.  It originally aired in Japan during Spring of 2016.


    Hoshimiya Eiji caused the near destruction of the world through a power he gained after having a wish granted by the mysterious girl Daisy.  Since the world was almost ruined a number of people have gained powers called Orders.  Eiji lives alone with his step sister Sena after their parents died in the destruction 10 years ago.  Sena is dying of a terminal disease and Eiji does everything to prevent her from knowing he is the one that lead the world to misery.

    Eiji's efforts come to a halt when a crazed woman named Kurenai Rin attempts to kill him.  She exposes Eiji's past sin to Sena, forcing Eiji to use his Order to control her.  The people who made Rin target him used the opportunity to test his abilities.  Liking what they see they have now cornered Eiji, though his sister, to help them take over control of Japan for their own use.  With the promise to cure Rin's illness he takes the task they set before him and they work to rule the nation.  Their mission is difficult though as other Orders are trying tot prevent it from happening.  As Eiji pushes towards the goal the secrets of the great destruction, the Orders and his own abilities reveal them selves.


    I'm going to say right now this series was pretty horrible.  It was a huge jumbled mesh of plot devices spanning a dozen different anime genres.  Covering the range of shonen battle, super powered harem, soft core hentai, incest porn, metaphysical non-sense, post-apacolyptic nonsense...the list goes on.  The artwork was uneven and some of the character designs were entirely unoriginal.  The plot made so many twists and turns half of the resolutions were pulled out of thin air.  Part of the problem could be from its condensed size.  The manga spans 9 tankoubon so they crammed a ton of information into 200 minutes worth of anime.

    Even with the haphazard story telling the series couldn't make up it's mind whether it wanted to be serious of a joke and half of that it ended up being opposite of what it set out to be.  I'm sure a lot of people are chomping at the bit for the weirdly placed bath lesbian scene to be uncensored on the disc release.  If I could explain this series in one sentence it would be.  Super powers are only needed to fuck your sister.


    I don't care when or if this series comes out in America beyond its simulcast stream on Crunchyroll...I feel dirty for watching all of it.
