HYPNOSISMIC
A fictional world where women dominated and all weapons are eliminated. That’s where words have power. “Hypnosismic”,a microphone that works on human mind.It is an anime that uses “Hypnosismic” as a weapon to unfold a variety of verbal battles.
The story of this anime is a story which three years after the HP law enforcement. The legendary team “The Dirty Dawg” was divided into four teams to weaken its power by Otome Tōhouten’s plan.
The four teams are placed in their own divisions and forced to compete against each other so as not to pose a threat to the government.
The charms of each character are well established, making it easy to enter the world of the story. And the acting and singing by the voice actors is excellent.

01 “As soon as man is born he begins to die.”
Episode 1 is 23 minutes 40 seconds(1420 sec). I divided this episode into four parts in the Japanese way. The method is “ki-shō-ten-ketsu“.
“ki” is the introduction. “shō” is the development. “ten” is the turn. “ketsu” is the conclusion.
I should say that all the divisions are done at my own discretion.
I’ll introduce each team member.The member with ☆ is the leader and a former member of “The Dirty Dawg”.

Impressions
In the first episode, the charm of each group and the background of the story are introduced one by one, expanding the perspective a little. I think this story alone has conveyed the appeal of Hypnosismic. The exaggerated rap scene is interesting, but the social story is also intriguing.
The content of Hypnosismic is something that fans and production staff have nurtured and grown little by little. There is a lot of their “love” in the characters and songs.
Although Hypnosismic is targeted at women, I believe that a good work will attract people regardless of gender or age. I’m sure this anime will attract more men fans.By the way, I think all the characters are attractive, but if I had to say, I think Jakurai is cool.
The play with each other of Jirō and Saburō is so cute.The bond between the three Yamada brothers is precious.In ki,it shows that words are commonly used as power by the current government rule.
