ID: INVADED

 

The Mizuhanome System is a highly advanced development that allows people to enter one of the most intriguing places in existence—the human mind. Through the use of so-called "cognition particles" left behind at a crime scene by the perpetrator, detectives from the specialized police squad Kura can manifest a criminal's unconscious mind as a bizarre stream of thoughts in a virtual world. Their task is to explore this psychological plane, called an "id well," to reveal the identity of the culprit.

Not just anyone can enter the id wells; the prerequisite is that you must have killed someone yourself. Such is the case for former detective Akihito Narihisago, who is known as "Sakaido" inside the id wells. Once a respected member of the police, tragedy struck, and he soon found himself on the other side of the law.

Nevertheless, Narihisago continues to assist Kura in confinement. While his prodigious detective skills still prove useful toward investigations, Narihisago discovers that not everything is as it seems, as behind the seemingly standalone series of murder cases lurks a much more sinister truth.

-----------Quote from myanimelist.net

Miyavi butterfly is the opening song of the series which I like very much as it suits the series very well. If I ‘m does not wrong this song only features on only one episode. Why?


When this series first released or aired, I watch a few episodes available that time and I couldn’t understand what I have been watching so I ended up crossing it off my watching list. Then years later, the anime draws my attention again and this time with full episode and I watched it till the end. I would say shame on me to give up on this series so soon. For the rating, I think it deserve more than 7.6 on IMDb.


 It is as confusing as the other series that I watched before named Jouran the Princess of Snow and Blood but with different ways of story telling style. I would call this a revealing story telling style (I named it myself XD). The story progresses the more truth coming up and audience started to understand how things work out that make it becomes the ways it is now. By this it grabs the attention of the audience and keep graving for more. While Jouran uses the flashback reverse story telling style (again, named it myself).


One character that I am very annoyed while watching is Koharu Hondoumachi. I know she is one the protagonist, so she deserves the attentions, of course. But the ways she dealt with things is too upfront and too much. Maybe it is just me being too picky. But anyways, the story needs it, so I decided to just go with her.


Tamotsu Fukuda is one of my favourite characters in the series, he is so funny when he pairs up with Akihito Narihisago in the investigation at the dessert arc. Though he is a criminal but he is incredibly intelligent and he looks handsome when he is in the system. 




 For this series I would like to encourage for those that thinking of crossing off their list, just hang on and keep watching. The result would be dumbfounded and surprising. It is not just a normal story and ending anime instead there are a lot of twist then a twist again.





There is only one season for now and is confirmed by the time of writing this post there will be a season two. The final episode of the season one revealed a surprising truth and interesting line. I can’t wait for season two to be aired. I think season two will be focusing more in finding out what exactly the system is created upon and what will be the impact.





I wonder if this could be a nice PS4 or PS5 games, maybe even on steam. It could be a roleplaying game in story mode or adventurous mode and more story could be added in. Yes, this could be a good idea (wink wink).

Last but not least, the reason this series would be good option to be develop into a gameplay is because of the visual of the scene and the creativity of the idea. The last two episode of the season one, the big fighting scene is very beautiful. Imagine if this is in a gameplay with a 4K display and quality together with action and effect. Stunning!!!
