Her photograph of a special flag that had a powerful religious leader praying thanks to a lucky shot the picture taking on strong symbolic importance and a life of its own. Series: Flag 1 is the story of a journalist photographer named Shirasu Saeko assigned to cover a United Nations special operatives team by virtual of a photograph she took of a flag during a civil war in the small Middle Eastern country of Uddiyana. Here's my take on the show that comes out on Tuesday:
The first volume of the series is called Flag 1 and I have to admit that it stood out as a quality production almost out of the gate.
The latest such title to make it my way was actually one with a different perspective that of a battle photographer turned journalist as seen through her notes and video recordings. In terms of realistic presentation, this kind of show expands the potential market to military buffs that aren't into "kid shows" as it were and given how saturated the market is, this makes a lot of sense to explore.
Background: Military related anime like Area 88 has found a lot of viewers interested of late, thanks to the suspense of battle and lack of over the top elements that anime geared towards a younger audience seems to have.
