Anime Review of Tactical Roar

A Perfect Mix of Weather and Piracy at the High Seas

"Tactical Roar" is a futuristic science-fiction anime title directed by Yoshitaka Fujimoto and produced by "Bandai Visual." The series ran for up to thirteen episodes which is normal for many Japanese anime titles. It the premise of Tactical Roar is that it takes place in the near future where the whole world is affected by a "hypercane." A hypercane is a theoretical class of a tropical cyclone that could form if ocean temperatures formed around one-hundred and twelve degrees Fahrenheit which equals to fifty degrees Celsius. That would be fifteen degrees higher converted to Fahrenheit.

It presents the interesting premise as hurricanes feed on warm ocean temperatures. But it also states that a rise in ocean temperatures could happen by many factors: asteroid/comet impact, volcanic/super volcanic eruption, or global warming. A hypercane would have the wind speed of five-hundred kilometers per hour which would be equal to three-hundred and ten miles per hour. It shows how powerful and deadly a hypercane could be.

This is something that would make meteorologists and other people in the field of weather and climate changes would feel very loved and appreciated by watching this series. With something like a hypercane, Tactical Roar is bound to have a lot of intellectual value in regards to science. Tactical Roar mainly takes place in the Pacific where the hypercane is still very existent. The hypercane had also caused climate changes worldwide making air travel not that reliable. Tactical Roar gives good insight on what would happen if a hypercane did happen and what would happen to the world once the climate is affected severely.

More people have taken to maritime transport. With the water ways in the Pacific Ocean being used more, it gives rise to more piracy and terrorism. It's only logical to strike paths that are commonly used. Pirates will attack civilian and merchant vessels left and right which brings the need to private military companies. In response, the larger international companies have armed themselves and found it profitable to set up private naval security forces.
