Gokukoku no Brynhildr

Venturing into the wilderness, the skeptical Ryouta Murakami and the ambitious Kuroneko were on a quest to prove the existence of extraterrestrial life when a tragic accident occurred, reaping Kuroneko of her life and leaving Ryouta in a critically injured state.

Ten years have passed since the disaster, and Ryouta is now living a normal life in high school. He vows to prove that aliens are real in honor of his late friend. A transfer student named Neko Kuroha unexpectedly arrives one day, bearing a striking resemblance to the late Kuroneko—even sharing a similar name. Most mysteriously, she seems to possess supernatural powers.

As Ryouta takes more interest in Neko, he is drawn into a deadly world where dangerous scientists hunt magic-wielding witches that have escaped from their secret research laboratory. Neko is one of these escapees, but there are many others who are in similar situations, and it's up to Ryouta to protect them from their would-be captors.

So, i watch this anime decades ago. bassically when it was released.
I remembered about this anime's existence due to this random youtuber called Heralen uses this anime opening for a jeopardy question.

Truth be told, i have no recollection about this anime, not a single piece of bit, Granted because it's been years. However, what i do remember was my feelings when i watch this anime.
After reading some discussion i can sumarize that this is about the mc, and his collection of friends (girls), and the dangers looming about that something (no spoiler) is out for these girls. The mc then vowed to protect them. It's ... a story about survival.

It's a good anime, something you can expect from 2014. It's pretty good and neat albeit outdated to current modern day trends. It's very unique.
Somehow the only thing i remember about after watching this anime is that i condemn child abuse and feel this sympathy in my heart for the characters situation. Iirc i loterally swore to always help those with similar situation around me, which is good.

Mixed Feelings

I recently checked out "Brynhildr in the Darkness" and wanted to share my thoughts. It's one of those shows that falls into the harem category, but it tries to mix in other genres too. Gotta say, it's alright, but it didn't blow me away.

Let's start with the good stuff. The animation is solid, the music sets the mood nicely, and the voice acting is on point. But when it comes to the story, well, it's kind of forgettable. You've got this mishmash of mystical, extraterrestrial, conspiracy, and harem themes all thrown together, and it just doesn't quite gel. The pacing is slow, and it feels ... like there's no real direction to the plot. Basically, it's about a bunch of girls with powers hanging out in a space observatory with one guy, and you can guess where that leads – lots of awkward situations and romantic tension.

And speaking of the characters, they're a mixed bag. The main guy is actually pretty interesting, with his own goals and personality quirks. But some of the girls, especially the main one, are kind of bland. Plus, the show keeps introducing new characters right up until almost the end, which feels like they're just trying to pad out the runtime.

In general, I've always felt that once you're halfway through a story, you should focus on developing the characters you already have, not throwing in new ones. And unfortunately, "Brynhildr in the Darkness" doesn't quite get that memo.

But hey, if you're into harem shows and don't mind a bit of a meandering plot, it might be worth giving this one a shot. Just don't expect it to be a masterpiece or anything.

What a mess this was. It's hard not to compare Brynhildr to the classic anime and manga Elfen Lied considering its status in the community and the shared original author, but even on its own this anime does not hold up and neither does it stand the test of time 11 years after it aired. My favorite review of this I've seen dubs Gokukoku no Brynhildr "cry porn" which is more than apt for this, we are introduced to characters that we have next to zero connection with and are expected to be on edge when tragedy befalls them, the only reasons we are given ... are: a) they like the MC and of course we want the MC to succeed right? And b) they're attractive, that's about how deep the characters get. The constant focus on boob and sex jokes are incredibly juvenile and wouldn't even be passable in an anime made for hormonal teenage boys let alone an anime obviously attempting to tackle very serious and esoteric ideas. Without spoiling anything, all this really culminates in the final few episodes where Arms throws the remaining chapters of the manga in a blender and mixes and matches what they think will fit, but none of it does. It's a mess of ideas and poor fanservice with a tinge of really, really bad comedy. But hey it made me interested in reading the manga so maybe it did do something right.
