Mekakucity Actors made by the Studio shaft, it was an anime that caught my attention for its aesthetic, in which I also expected a decent story, but it was very disappointing. It should be noted that I haven't read the novel so I will not make comparisons with the original material with the series.
The story in Mekakucity Actors has several problems is its poor execution, the pacing in this show is mostly too slow and with many flashbacks shown in a random way, which apart from being heavy to watch is somewhat confusing to understand what is happening. Then in the last episodes everything happened
...
too fast and the end is open ending, which leaves us more questions.
The characters are also another problem, most of these are bland and quite boring, although they tell us about their pasts in the flashbacks, this seems to have no weight in the characters, they still don't generate empathy or something, in addition to the little time on screen of these characters, because Mekakucity actors presents many cast of characters, which didn't give its due time.
The only thing that I rescued from this dump is the music (which is quite catchy) and the animation (sometimes it was poor, like the cgi at the beginning of chapter 9, however the animation in general was good)
Could it be done better? Of course, if the pacing wasn't so slow, that it gets boring and the end wasn't so abrupt, that it leaves one confused, the problem here was the execution, there were 12 chapters and none of the characters They weren't given a decent development, maybe if it had more episodes and better pacing, this anime could have been better.
Overall, I give this show a solid 3/10.
