Synopsis

Many years have passed since humanity was driven to the brink of extinction by the sudden emergence of the unknown life forms Gadoll. Those humans that survived now dwell in a 3000 meter-high mobile fortress Deca-dence built to protect themselves from the Gadoll threat.

Denizens of Deca-dence fall into two categories: Gears, warriors who fight the Gadoll daily, and Tankers, those without the skills to fight. One day, Natsume, a Tanker girl who dreams of becoming a Gear meets surly Kaburagi, an armor repairman of Deca-dence.

This chance meeting between the seemingly two opposites, the girl with a positive attitude who never gives up on her dreams and the realist who has given up on his, will eventually shake the future course of this world.

Editor's Review
Deca-Dence

“Deca-Dence” is an original anime series that aired from July 8, 2020, to September 23, 2020. It is a unique blend of action, adventure, and sci-fi genres, with a duration of 23 minutes per episode. The series is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity is on the brink of extinction. The story follows the journey of two characters, Natsume and Kaburagi, who come from very distinctive backgrounds.

The series is a fast-paced anime with only 12 episodes, but each episode has its own direction and contributes to the overall storyline. The pacing is well-executed, and the series manages to maintain a sense of suspense and intrigue throughout. The series is not afraid to subvert expectations and constantly keeps the audience guessing about what will happen next.

One of the core strengths of “Deca-Dence” is its ability to use the post-apocalyptic fantasy setting as a platform to engage in debates on the morals of our economic system. It discusses environmental issues, prison labor, and systemic change. The series is not just about survival in a dystopian world, but it also explores the unequal class and racial divides, and the structural inequalities of the society.

The animation quality of “Deca-Dence” is top-notch, and the series is visually stunning. The character designs are unique and memorable, and the action scenes are well-choreographed and exciting. The series also has a wicked sense of humor that adds a layer of fun and entertainment to the otherwise serious storyline.

“Deca-Dence” is a complete story that doesn’t rely on pointless slice-of-life teenage drama or sexual innuendos. It doesn’t throw in ludicrous elements and situations just for the sake of spectacle. Instead, it focuses on delivering a compelling narrative with well-written characters and an interesting plot.

In conclusion, “Deca-Dence” is a hidden gem in the world of original anime. It is a well-crafted series that offers a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic genre. With its engaging storyline, well-developed characters, and thought-provoking themes, “Deca-Dence” is a series that is definitely worth watching.
