Danae Stahlnecker Common Sense Media 06/06/2023
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. Go to Full Review Charles Hartford But Why Tho? A Geek Community 05/19/2023
7.5/10
Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune delivers great action and interpersonal growth for its core cast while fumbling many of its larger themes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

bowie b @BowieBroto 02/26/2025 Audiovisuel is compelling and original but I cannot stand that the protagonist are ok doing the genocide. Other aspects is like watching 8090 movies when the hero just shoot everyone without even getting touched. Not for me See more Casey V @RT87020894 10/25/2024 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. See more Doug B @DB108 09/05/2023 Outstanding original Anime! Loved every second. See more Augusto P @RT47534839 06/30/2023 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. See more Yang S @RT75584273 05/20/2023 3D质量相当不错，但加上色彩、摄影、镜头设计等诸多因素后，整体的画面表现水准不升反降，甚是遗憾。即时是大量使用插叙、倒叙来形成情节对应也掩盖不了脚本低质量的事实，用动捕3D来做这样寡淡的故事实在是浪费资源。 See more Read all reviews
