Synopsis
At age 10, best friends Musashi and Kojirou sat in excited silence as Kojirou's father spun tales of evil demons who preyed on the innocent, and the warriors who defeated them. Practicing swordplay, the two swear an oath to become the strongest in the world, but as they grow up, Kojirou turns cynical, and Musashi comes to the realization that he can't overturn 150 years of demon rule on his own. He's being called a prodigy with a pickaxe, and he's almost ready to settle into a life of labor. Yet he can't shake the feeling that he is still has a responsibility to act... and soon, the injustices of his world will force his hand...

Editor's Review
“Orient” is an anime series that aired from January 6, 2022, to March 24, 2022. The series is based on a mobile strategy role-playing game developed by MICA Team and Sunborn Network Technology. The anime revolves around youngsters all around Neo-Tokyo who formed tribes to find their place in the world. However, group loyalty among them grew fierce and often led to violence. As a countermeasure, the government implemented the XB Law—stating that the tribe conflict is to be resolved through Extreme Baseball.
The animation is fine most of the time, sometimes getting good but not to the point it would really affect my score. The voice performances are good in sub like usual. This anime mostly just sort of exists to promote the game like most anime of its type.
However, “Orient” has received mixed reviews. Some viewers have found it to be a rip-off of the baseball game that has power. The story is boring. It’s boring to watch because the animation and the effects are ugly but it was improved in the last episode. The character designs are not well done, not very detailed.
In conclusion, “Orient” offers an intriguing blend of action and drama. While it may not be perfect, it provides an entertaining viewing experience with its unique storyline and interesting characters. Whether you’re a fan of baseball-themed shows or looking for a thought-provoking anime series, “Orient” is worth checking out.
