Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Danae Stahlnecker Common Sense Media Despite being a critique of the oppression humans face in a post-invasion galaxy, Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune isn't actually anti-war or anti-prejudice. Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Charles Hartford But Why Tho? A Geek Community Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune delivers great action and interpersonal growth for its core cast while fumbling many of its larger themes.

Casey V The whole time everyone's complaining about not having enough time to get anything done but all they do is stand around and talk. Especially while they are under attack they talk or overcomplicate everything. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Doug B Outstanding original Anime! Loved every second. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review Dejunay B Nice plot and animation but lacks depth, possibly due to the short number of episodes. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review Jonathan S It's a good show, but too short to explore some of the interesting themes presented in the story. Earth as part of a technologically superior intergalactic trade federation. Disposable soldiers who are considered to be equipment. Other inhabitants of disadvantaged planets suffering under a kind of colonialism. I'm really hoping for more seasons with a longer run time. There is a lot of to unpack here, it seems like a very lore rich world. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review Augusto P Excellent show! Visual and action, very good story. I saw the entire 6 episodes in one day and I want more!!!!! The dialogue sometimes is not so good but I think is due to translation. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/23 Full Review X X What kept me watching this series was the music, animation and action mix. Can't have enough of that badass beat and action sequences xDNot sure about the "reality" in which the show is set but it was ok. I guess why not? HahaOverall, for its short lenght and style I think it is a good show to watch :) Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
