![]() Without any concrete information Seth ventures forward on his quest to defeat the nemesis and in doing so partakes in several misadventures before arriving at his first key destination. It’s your typical presentation of shonen anime, with the home being attacked and saved before the hero ventures on his own quest of growth but sadly here it is one of speculation and misguidance. Fortunately a nice change of pace occurs with a new objective a journey for Seth to become stronger and to find the home base of the Nemesis. At this point we are only three episodes in to the series and while we’ve had some backstory of Alma and the world that Seth inhabit it’s all slow paced and a bit dull. The result is respect from the towns people but alas this is just the start of a bigger journey. Regardless Seth uses his Fantasia abilities to not only stop the fake sorcerers from stealing money from the bank but also helps in defeating the Nemesis from destroying the city. It’s a two pronged approach to changing the mindset of the general public but with good purpose as the fake sorcerers serve a longer purpose throughout the series. This all changes when a nemesis arrives on the island that Seth and Alma inhabit, which also occurs at the same time that a group of fake sorcerers arrive on the scene to steal money from the local bank. Despite Seth having the ability to control Fantasia he, along with his guardian Alma and all other sorcerers, are seen as outcasts and are treated harshly by humans – with Seths village being no exception to this rule. In this case the story of Radiant follows Seth, a seemingly average boy who is able to wield the powers of Fantasia which is a mysterious magical power that only magicians and sorcerers can wield within this world, in his quest to defeat the nemesis that harm inhabitants of the world. In France, and in some aspects Japan, Radiant is considered a positive success but while it delivers an interesting concept, and a wonderful cast of characters, the story and its pacing fail to deliver especially in this first half of this first season. It’s your typical shonen series with some interesting roots but sadly it fails to deliver the standard one would expect to receive from a series of this calibre. That won’t stop Seth, a gifted young wizard, from seeking the origin of it all-the Radiant.Īdapted from the French manga, otherwise known as Manfra, of the same name by Tony Valente and animated by Studio Lechre, who are also known for animating titles such as Assassination Classroom, Danganronpa and School-Live!, comes Radiant a shonen styled series based on a magical world overrun by demons known as nemesis. But the very sorcerers, who protect citizens, are persecuted by the magic Inquisition. ![]() ![]() Soaring among islands in the sky, witches and wizards fly on broomsticks to defeat Nemesis monsters. A new contender for a shonen series arrives in the form of Radiant – Season 1 Part 1 but what can one expect from this series filled with magic and monsters? Let’s take a look and find out!
