6 Anime Like Sabikui Bisco

Sabikui Bisco has been one of the remarkable series of the winter season, exploding onto 2022 with its unique blend of action and unusual post-apocalyptic setting that takes the well-worn concept of “zany shows that make sense” in an interesting direction. Sabikui Bisco’s pleasantly absurd themes and bizarre scenes are sure to give you a “now that’s weird” feeling every few episodes while also being exhilarating.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Japan has been ravaged by a deadly plague-like wind called rust that affects everything, including humans. Somehow, mushroom spores are thought to be the cause of this, and due to this, mushroom keepers, people skilled in handling mushrooms, are being hunted by the government. In truth, it’s the opposite, and mushrooms actually prevent rusting. The story follows Bisco Akaboshi, a wanted criminal and a mushroom keeper. Alongside the crab Akutagawa and young doctor Milo Nekoyanagi, in search for the legendary “Sabikui,” a rust-eating mushroom said to devour all forms of rust.

Sabikui Bisco’s action scenes and character interactions are appealing, and the story is very intriguing and well fleshed out for an anime of its kind. With its stunning world, eccentric creatures, and, of course, “Mushroom”, Sabikui Bisco is set up to embrace a good story above every other new post-apocalyptic anime we’ve seen so far.
