Arata Primal

Honestly, I hated it.

I hated it because I really enjoyed it in the beginning but as soon as the antagonist is revealed it all goes downhill. Not sure if they were cut short by the publishers or the writer just gave up. Either way it is bad. I would advise you to just save your time and ignore this manga. Although, I want you to support the artist because the only thing that got me through this manga was because of the art.

Okay, I'll try to explain why the story sucked so much ass without spoilers. The reason for the time machine is SPOILERS!!! FUCKiNG METEORITES! Which fucks up everyone on earth in later years but it is totally fucking safe to transfer something that stabilize earth from the "primal age" to present as long as it is not "too much". Because a child prodigy that has traveled back in time and lived there for like years said it is fine. Also that child prodigy is the antagonist that doesn't trust in friendship because our protagonist has been tricked to betray him when they were like 5. Our child prodigy antagonist can literally hack into giant rats mind, control electricity and has apparently learned everything about earth's physics... but still doesn't know that if a BLACK-FUCKING-HOLE is created ON EARTH it would fuck everything up instantly and not wait and charge until 2032.

How was this black hole created? Our prodigy here has it already dumbed down for us! It is because of two unknown, unknown. UNKNOWN FUCKING ENERGY from TWO FUCKING METEOR decided to fuck each other and gains MASS. A black hole fucking mass on earth everyone. Yet somehow when our antagonist shows the meteor... guess where he putted it. On a fucking table. Just on a normal godfucking table. I can't get over this... I never expected a full essay of how meteor can fuck up earths gravity theory but this isn't edible in any fucking sense. Why not just ditch the scientific explanation and say magic? Shit like "yeah uhh, earth's spirit like uhh needs help. Apparently a meteor has been stuck in his anus and he wanted some one to pull it out... and yeah it has a lot of electricity and uhh you know you can cancel that shit. Do it pussy."

I have never felt more betrayed. The premise was good I smelled a lot of adventures and good old survival of the fittest. Our protagonist that already had the advantage of never had used any electronics had already lived his life in the wild. Well he couldn't even if he wanted to due to a meteorite. Anyways he lacked in social cues and interactions now has to lead these people that never before had built fire without a lighter. "How will he do it?" Kind of feeling. Yes, it was actually fun the first part of it but yeah as soon as the antagonist pops up he surely fucked up everything. Not much for our protagonist but ME mentally. I felt like it was going to be like Planet Earth shit kind of manga but at the end of the day it shat on me like we shit on earth pretty much.


Anyways that's it for me. Thanks for reading my rant. Hope you had some catharsis from this review if you felt the same as me. Don't forget to support the artists though. He did real good fucking job here. Have a good day/night/month/year or a shitty one if you want. Bye<3

this is one of the first primitive based manga I have read so I'm going to make a review about it as a beginner to these kind of genre manga.

Arata Primal was pretty decent. Not as cool as I preferred or imagined but it was okay. Nothing much to learn but I remember learning Cats do not like the smell of some oils and are toxic to them from the manga. Wow I never knew that so that was new to me. The rest of the stuffs are survival stuffs that you might find in Netflix survival series or movies.

Towards the ending, you might feel it was rushed or maybe not. Either way, it closed too soon for me and the ending wasn't really satisfying. Great to see Arata with friends but don't end a story like that. The main thing I liked was the Art(very cool) and the least was the Story and Characters (not so interesting).

I remember some comments on the manga from Manga Plus by Shueisha(an official website/app), most people didn't like the story whilst others did. It is like a tag of war with likes and dislikes. So if you read the manga, you might end up on one side or in the middle like a few of us.

If you want to learn lots of beneficial stuffs especially as a student or as a hobby, I would recommend 'Doctor Stone'(I believe it is also primitive). 'Doctor Stone' offers so much more to learn from.

Not the first type of manga that tried this genre,
The main protagonist is an idiot with now self-awareness...
The science makes no sense... the conspiracy is such a big cliche...
Art is so so... you'll want to read it just because you hope it gets better but it never does... the ending is anticlimactic... makes you feel empty on the inside and the regret of wasting your time.

Rather than wasting your time on this garbage... Go read "Dr. Stone" at least there you can learn something, and if you want a good manga with primeval creatures go read "Cage of Eden" or "Sousei No Taiga"
