Kakugo no Susume

This is the biggest injustice i've seen on MAL. Somehow Genocyber has a higher score. I'll use it as a parameter: If the gore in Genocyber can give you the ick and put you away, the gore in Apocalypse Zero is tasteful, funny, and peppered in correct dosage. This OVA is the perfect blend of funny, interesting and insightful, with a brisk and breezy pace covering the first 3 volumes of the manga. I'm hooked, and I will be reading the manga to know more.

The design is lovely, both in human characters and monsters. The background setting, the story, will make you see the connections ... between then and now, historically. It's a very thoughtful piece done up with the fun colors of violence. For an OVA made in an era where the norm was to take the gore you pornographically display super seriously, making the author some sort of edgy misfit bent on violence, this is delightfully cartoonish without losing it's believability.

Dear God what the fuck did I just watch?? I don't think it's a spoiler to say that the penis and vagina monsters were present and got a lot of screen time. The style is fucking weird but it's at least consistent, every character looks like they were mutated from a nuclear Holocaust. The sheer ridiculousness is enough to take out a frail Victorian child. In terms of animation, plot, and violence, this is a lot. I personally am not a fan, and I'd die before watching it again, but I can appreciate it's cultural importance (to an extent lmao) and I understand why people ... like it. Idk, the animation was the main thing for me. Watch it if you dare, and if you don't, well you just saved yourself a whole lot of time

Congratulations Apocolypes Zero. You are officially the worst anime I have ever see. Considering I have watched a decent amount of series', you have managed to achieve quite the feat.

I honestly don't know where to begin. I'll start with the animation I guess. It's definitely below the standard that had been set for the time. The backdrops of the show are generic,post apocalyptic city landscapes. The character art is also truly awful. The protagonist 'demons' are hilariously poor and completely soulless which is also how the regular characters are animated.

The music and sound are dead, and at best, generic. There is very little else to ... say about it to be completely honest. It's boring, is lifeless and just like the animation, soulless.

Believe it or not though, it gets worse. The story is a complete pile of garbage. There are few words to truly describe how bad the story and the script are. The character development is non existent. I had zero interest in any of these characters. The setting up of the story at the begining and the drip feeding of information from the past was poorly executed too. It was clearly trying to keep the viewers interest. However, every element of the story telling here was terrible.

Poor, absolute trash. The worst anime I have ever watched and will likely ever watch. I can't imagine it getting any worse than this.
