Anime is already synonymous with Japan, in my opinion, if there is an anime produced by a studio other than Japan I feel uncomfortable watching it, this is just my opinion which has too much of a mindset that anime is only original if it is produced by Japanese people themselves. The story is different when we discuss manga and others, initially, I also thought that only Japan could make Manga that many readers around the world would like, but that all changed after I read the first Manhwa from Korea, called Solo Leveling, which made my mind more open to not being stuck, for one type of manga, from a particular country, we have to explore it more widely because there could be many works from other countries that are also interesting to read, not just manga.
Returning to the topic of anime, when the Manhwa Solo Leveling was made into an anime version, I thought that it would lose its identity or the story would be changed, but it turns out I was wrong. The Solo Leveling anime was executed so well, and because of that, I am increasingly interested in anime adapted from Manhwa. In this post, I will discuss the anime adapted from Manhwa entitled Viral Hit or the anime version entitled Kenka Dokugaku, if you are looking for interesting new anime references To watch, you can read the review I wrote.
Initially, I read the webtoon and felt that the story presented by Viral Hit was related to the conditions of most people, especially school students who were victims of bullying at school. The visuals drawn in this webtoon were very pleasing to the eye and seemed to provide visuals like moving animation. Previously I was just a reader of monotonous and colorless manga, recently I became a fan of the webtoon series and was immersed in it because it was so exciting to read this webtoon.
Tells the story of a student named Hobin who was the victim of bullying by a student in his class named Pakgo, he forced Hobin to want to make up and appear on Pakgo's live Newtube account and continued to be treated like that until he finally he accidentally became famous on newtube because Hobin fought with his cameraman Pakgo at Hobin's house, the fight was recorded live on Newtube which was accessed at Hobin's house, that's the story of the struggle of a bully victim named Hobin to become a content creator on Newtube.
Hobin finally tried to fight the person who had humiliated him and was accidentally recorded live on Newtube making the two of them go viral until the two of them became friends because of this accidental content, the side of the story from the person who bullied made us as viewers play with their emotions while watching the anime or reading the webtoon, the side The strong comedy presented by Viral Hit keeps us from getting bored and continuing to the next episode. From the visual side of the Kenka Dokugaku anime, I have no complaints at all because everything was executed well and properly by Studio Okuruto Noboru.
From the webtoon side, I am also satisfied reading it because I like the details of each depiction, and makes me want to continue reading. The side of the story about the victim of bullying who finally gets the motivation to fight back is the main positive message of Kenka Dokugaku (Viral Hit), we can see how Hobin struggles as a victim when he has to raise money for his mother's medical expenses. Finally, he became a Newtuber due to an unexpected incident, and his content went viral, and managed to earn a lot of money from there. I have been in the position of being a victim of bullying and can more or less understand a little about the struggles we have to go through.
I also like the visuals of the female characters in Viral Hit, the moment when Hobin meets Bomie is my favorite, where the figure of Choi Bomie is depicted as absolutely gorgeous with a beautiful body but not embarrassed to date the nosy Hobin, who is a victim of bullying, which I think is very touching. There is also the figure of Gaeul, who from the start knew how Hobin and Jihyeok struggled in dealing with bullies and developing their Newtube channel, another attractive female figure in Viral Hit, but which annoyed me was Yeo Rumi, who is also a Newtuber who always looks for opportunities in other people's difficulties.
I recommend you to read this Viral Hit webtoon, or you can watch the anime which is still ongoing, because there are many positive, and motivational messages presented in the story of Hobin and his friends in creating Newtube content, don't forget the comedy scenes and climax punchlines that make us happy to enjoy it. Everything I write in this review is purely my opinion as a reader and viewer of Viral Hit, maybe there are some things I don't understand that you don't understand, you can provide input in the comments column.
