Description of the plot. Tie

The events of the series "Hurricane Tactics» (Tactical Roar) take the viewer into the near future. In the Pacific Ocean for 50 years, an unceasing storm, called the "Great Roar", has been raging, causing a series of global changes in the planet's climate. Due to the prevailing weather conditions in the Asian region, air transport is no longer used, preference is given to naval transport. Along with this, piracy is returning and maritime terrorism is on the rise, so large corporations are forced to arm themselves and createown private military formations to ensure the safety of their ships and cargo. Among the cruisers of the private security flotilla is the vessel Pascal Magi, whose crew is exclusively female.

Intrigue

In the opening episodes of Hurricane Tactics, software engineer Hisuke Nagimiya is aboard the cruiser due to a combination of circumstances, tasked with updating the systems aboard the ship. As it turns out, the captain of the ship, Misaki Nanaha, is the young man's half-sister, but treats him with restraint, as if he were a stranger. Calling the girl sister, Hisuke still thinks of her as a woman. At the moment of Nagimiya's stay on the ship, the cruiser enters the battle, and Hyosuke begins to understand the combat potential of the crew and the ship. The situation is complicated by the fact that the sea robbers have a powerful patron, to whom Pascal Magi is like a bone in the throat. The cruiser has not yet suffered a single defeat in a clash with pirates. Now the team will have to work hard to maintain their reputation, because the hunt has been declared on the ship.

Project advantages and disadvantages

Yoshitaka Fujimoto sought to make the heroines of Hurricane Tactics (cruiser crew) both feminine and masculine. They are attractive, good-natured, sympathetic, but also determined, adventurous, fearless, and equal to men in combat. The author deliberately pushes the romantic line into the background, demonstrating the ideological complexity of his project, the viewer does not have time to analyze the intricacies of the relationship betweenprotagonists, as they reflect on the many pressing issues of modern society that Hurricane Tactics touches on.

Like most anime, Yoshitaka Fujimoto's series is packed with events and characters, but several key characters are fully fleshed out. There is no need to talk about the ideal scenario. The musical accompaniment evokes a double impression: symphonic themes are almost perfect, and those played on a synthesizer can only light up a rural disco.
