Human Crossing

Human Crossing is a human interest anthology series. The first disk opened up with a boxer, which immediately turned me off since I don’t care for the boxing/fighting animes. But, the boxing wasn’t a major feature of the story so I relented. It turns out that the boxer is estranged from his mother and someone comes along, says something, and the boxer realizes that he and his mother should reconcile. Another story involved a new lawyer who is trying to work on the streets rather than the prestigious law firm his prospective father-in-law wants him to work in (Idealism under attack). Another story is about a young women compelled to take care of her father after he had ignored the family when she was growing up. The fourth story was about a young father that is always working to provide for his family, thereby never having time for his family. Universal stories that cross cultural boundaries.

The protagonist in each story crosses paths with someone that causes the protagonist to realize that there is a problem and that they should resolve it. (Hence, Human Crossing)

Average production values; not a lot going on in each story; of interest in only that it shows that people everywhere have the same problems.

I will give “Human Crossing” a 5 out of ten.

I see that the translated title at AnimeNfo is either “Human Scramble” or “Human Crossing Point”
