Mayoiga - Reviews

Review based on the first episode - seen up to episode four.

Mayoiga has set us off with a hint of mystery and eerieness from its first episode.

From the first few minutes, as the characters introduce themselves to us and each other. We are met with an eerie soundtrack that is woven to the backdrop of a passing storm.

Each character gives us a fake name and a small introduction. The character designs are very straight forward and simple, no outlandish hairstyles which make them feel more real.

Before we know it tension is already building between characters and the outlandish characters make themselves know by acting out in small ways. Hinting that some of them are a lot more on edge than we have been let on to believe.

As the episode goes on we learn more that there is more about this trip than we've been let on about and that visiting a sweet little town isn't the only reason why these people have gathered together. This just adds more mystery to the story as it still feels we are being left in the dark about... well about almost everything.

Overall I enjoyed this first episode. The creepy karaoke singing, to the foggy settings and the obscure characters we briefly meet, seems to all be setting up the foundation of the show ahead.

As we haven't been let on to know a lot about this show, I have no idea what we are to expect and what is to come, but I'm hoping we are going to have a fun coach trip and the mystery stays strong in this show.
