Brazilian anime: highlights
1. No Game, No Life
It's worth the warning, if you haven't seen No Game, No Life know that you're missing a great Brazilian cool anime.
That said, get to know a little about the Brazilian behind the work and also the history of this animation.
If you search for the name of the author of No Game, No Life will show the name Yū Kamiya, a pseudonym for Thiago Lucas Furukawa, a Brazilian.
He was born in Uberaba, Minas Gerais and went to live in Japan when he was a child.
In Japanese lands, he decided to venture into the world of mangaka, a respected but highly demanded profession that demands extreme effort from professionals.
Thus, at a dōjinshi (Japanese word for independent publications) event, Kamiya was noticed by an editor who gave the Brazilian the opportunity to publish some of his manga in a magazine.
Over time, he gained more and more notoriety, until reaching his biggest hit to date: No Game, No Life.
To give you a sense of success, his work reached the mark of six volumes as one of the 30 best light novels that were commercialized in Japan.
In 2014, the incredible number of 1,1 million copies sold of the No Game light novel No Life was reached.
With all this sales volume, it caught the attention of Madhouse, a studio that produces anime.
Also in 2014, the light novel won an anime adaptation, and in Japan the animation was televised by AT-X and in the West the work arrived by Crunchyroll initially.
It is worth remembering that in our country, manga and light novels are licensed and can be purchased officially.
Understanding the trajectory of the Brazilian mangaka, learn a little about the history of No Game, No Life.
The work is an isekai, that is, the characters are teleported to another world.
The story follows the brothers Sora and Shiro who are geniuses in video games.
On a seemingly normal day, the brothers received a suspicious email challenging them to a game of chess.
The duo eventually accepts the mission and wins the game.
As a gift, they are sent by a God to a world called “Disboard”.
In this new world, everything is solved with game duels.
So, the brothers' goal is to continue their reputation as undefeated players and go after the 16 dominant species (we can't say what that is, it would be a spoiler!) on Disboard to harness the power of the God of gaming.
What makes the brothers' journey even more difficult is that on Disboard, humans are considered an inferior race.
And because of that, one of Shiro and Sora's goals is to change that concept by winning the God of games.
The coolest point of the plot is the dynamics of the games that are amazing as well as the solutions given by the brothers.
The duo follows a line of thinking, most of the time, as logical as possible, using science and real facts as principles to perform magic, which holds the viewer from the beginning to the end of the season.
The work has only 12 episodes and can be found on Netflix, Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime video for you to watch anime online.
In addition, the work also has a movie. It is still worth highlighting the traits of this work, which are very colorful and beautiful.
Check out the trailer:
So far there is no news of a new season.
But fans are still hopeful that the work can get more episodes or maybe some more movies and OVAs.

2. Magma
Before talking about the anime, it is important to know a little about the history of the person behind Magma.

Unlike Kamiya who followed Mangaká's career, Robson went the way of animation studios.
He managed to participate in Disney's The Princess and the Frog, a feature that was nominated for an Oscar in 2010.
But his history with anime started long before that.
In 2000 he was already involved in animation projects.
It was at this time that he created the Magma sketches.
But due to the difficulties of financial investments, he ended up shelving the project.
In this way, Robson only returned to devote more attention to the production of Magma animation in 2015.

In this way, the story follows the journey of the boy Rasdael Tatsuya, a resident of our city.
The girl who came to Earth looking for help is called Lu-Ha, and thanks to her, Rasdael Tatsuya's life changes completely.
It is because of this alien that the protagonist has the first contact with Magma energy, it is something with a footprint like Dragon Ball's KI, the Knights of the Zodiac Cosmos and Naruto's Chakra.
Rasdael is 13 years old, he is a nerdy, smart kid who loves sports and loves games.
He doesn't go on adventures alone, the boy has his childhood friends Will Gabriel and Thiago, as well as the dog Toguro (do you understand the reference?).
Thus, this is the main trio of the story.

When the platform was announced, it was announced that the monthly subscription for the service would be R$5.
But due to the increase in the dollar with the pandemic, there was an adjustment to R$7,90.
